One shot threat is a massive thing , characters with good one shot potential shouldn’t be good at longer duels otherwise they become a massive annoyance, take hog for example there’s a reason they take and give back his one shot so often

@damnnyankee1776 @whoofman @Coinvo It’s ok we all know how you struggle with reading

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

@PlayHighguard I’m loving the game and excited about the positive changes being made. One small change I’d love to see implemented would be assists and damage as stats on the end screen.

@vana__nz Hey so you’re music is amazing and you’re jokes are hilarious

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

@vana__nz Happy Birthday!!!!

[Wesley ✨ @wesleytypes]

Maxence Cazorla is honestly amazing.

Charlie Cox did a fantastic job as Gustave in Expedition 33, but even if he hadn't done the voice work, the performance still would have been great.

Watching this had me just as emotional as seeing it in the game.

[Is this a 3D model? @IsThisA3DModel]

Regarding Clair Obscur - We believe sometimes we have to pick our battles. A few placeholder assets that were immediately patched out does not make an entire game AI slop.

Our account is about recognizing, appreciating and highlighting the strengths of human creativity. If a game is 99.99% a human crafted labor of love, we do not believe 0.01% of GenAI (if it even qualifies as that much) is worth slandering the entire game over.

Doing that gives permission to AI Boosters to do what they do best - take credit for things they had no hand in. They now take a game that was 99.99% a human crafted labor of love and say "Look at the power of GenAI to make these incredible games possible" when it had no meaningful impact at all.

Obviously we would all always prefer it wasn't used, and the internet is not a place that handles nuance well. But please keep this in mind for the future. We do not believe in witch hunts or hate directed at the hard work of artists or developers.🫖

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.

Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.

In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)

A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.

Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.

There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.

None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.

@shinobi602 @InSomnia7_OW People acting like Larian isn’t literally known for their turn based games, like did anyone really expect this one to be different

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

Checked my Spotify wrapped and as always @adtr is my top artist, favorite band of all time for a reason. I was in the top 0.2% of listeners!

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

Finally sitting down and listening to @OfficialEmery I don’t know what took me so long. Their song walls was my first metal song back when I was young and the song I credit with my love for metal. Somewhat ashamed it took me this long to listen to more from this amazing band.

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

Playing dispatch and I think one thing that would be really cool if they added would be a free play mode, where you just did the dispatching. I love the game and the story but honestly I really wish we got to do more dispatching as it’s really fun.

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

@vana__nz @rocksound This is awesome congrats, and the new single is fire

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

Been playing dispatch it’s an amazing game working on getting the platinum

[Moose @MurderMoose715]

Just got my vinyl of “What Separates Me from You” from @adtr so glad to finally own my favorite album of all time physically!
