After a little over a year of work, I'm excited to present one of my dream projects: my own pixel art software. It will be available at Steam on September 1st!
You can watch the trailer here!
Hope you like #PixydraStudio! =)

@buddingmonkey Yeah! that's a big part of the challenge! I remember, while making Fight'N Rage, constantly thinking... "it will only be ready when I see it and am even willing to pay to be able to play it."

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@RisingSunInt_ Whoa! And were those games made by people who were against the use of AI in games? =O

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@RisingSunInt_ But given that Godot is open source, it’s highly likely that there’s some AI code in there as of now... even without the developer knowing it, don’t you think?

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

This platform thrives on keeping us arguing like idiots. xD

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@SyntheticBeef No. An "AI label" could be used by someone signaling that their use of AI assets is temporary... not necessarily a "pro-AI". Based on what Steam asks for, there is no way to tell whether you are "anti or pro-AI". At most, it only reveals whether you are NOT "anti-AI" in ONE case.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@SyntheticBeef Yes, but Steam doesn’t require you to state whether or not you are "anti-AI". There is a vast difference between your game containing AI-generated content and you yourself being an "anti-AI" person. Don’t you see the difference?

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@SyntheticBeef You criticize Steam for requiring to disclose whether they use AI-generated content, and you compare this to requiring to disclose their ideological stance. That is a poor comparison, because one has a direct bearing on the nature of the final product, while the other does not.🤷‍♂️

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@RockLeeSmile It’s phrased a bit clumsily, but I think the point is that they wouldn’t have been able to produce (or afford) a soundtrack like that.
It also makes sense for them to point out that it’s clearly AI-generated, since you can usually tell just by listening to it.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@SYDGamesStudio Some people only want to consume things that are entirely human-made... they want to feel that "connection". When they consume something believing it was created by humans, only to find out it wasn't, it's disappointing. I understand the frustration.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@SyntheticBeef I already explained in a previous response why that is a poor comparison. I am simply trying to enrich the debate. I am challenging ideas, whereas you, whenever someone challenges your ideas, take it to a personal level.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@SyntheticBeef @wampaholic I oppose all intellectual property law too, and your argument lies on a bad comparison.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@mikulasflorek There is a sense of vicarious embarrassment or "cringe" that arises from cheap imitation. With AI-generated art, this cheap imitation quickly becomes apparent as a model gains popularity and is used by many people, even when the results themselves are perceived as "good".

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@RisingSunInt_ I believe this actually goes against the platform's rules. Openly promoting online harassment doesn't sound like something that's allowed here.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@RisingSunInt_ Oh shit... that's unacceptable. It's probably even a delictive behaviour (in some countries at least).
Sorry, I was wrong.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@RisingSunInt_ Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but actual harassment is a defined criminal offense, so I assume you're referring to openly criticizing someone's work online (which is ok). If you were actually referring to online harassment, then I stand corrected and offer my apologies.

[SebaFighter @SebaFighter]

@RisingSunInt_ Don't get me wrong, there are things created with AI that I love, and I would happily pay their developers for them. I use AI in my daily life, though in a different way than you do (which doesn't make me any better or worse). Still, I can’t help but point out your logical flaws.
