a reminder that i have the same name everywhere (unlike other people who make it so much harder to find them again is it that hard to have one name man)
I have already made this point before (go check my previous posts) but I WOULDN'T CARE that the armor isn't accurate IF IT AT LEAST LOOKED GOOD.
IDC if it's anachronistic, go balls to the walls and give em Classical or even renaissance gear IDGAF AS LONG AS IT ISN'T PLASTIC.
@zachtothefuller I'm fully prepared to spend the next decade playing through my backlog and not buying a single new game for a long time; watching the games industry implode.
Why does every person who complains about Mycenaean armor use this specific image? Y'all should look at the historically accurate armor made by Dimitrios Katsikis- You know, the armorer who Nolan's team ghosted?
The best movies were made without it, the best games were made without it, the best comics were made without it, the best stories were made without it, the best songs were made without it. And now for some reason we really need it, there's no other way.
Giving e33 best art direction then having them using ai blowing up right after was done to manufacture consent for genai usage across all of the gaming industry btw
All the quote tweets going "hurr get ready to not play games from now on" Team Cherry spent 7 years making Silksong without a single bit of AI to "cut corners", there are hundreds if devs like them who don't use AI that I am going to happily support.
and before anyone says people are being too harsh on Larian wrt the GenAI news, this is exactly the kind of fanbase they nurtured by constantly moralising, posturing and acting like they had the secret ingredient to game-making (trusting and supporting your creatives!) 😃
this whole gen AI nightmare with larian has really made me appreciate my favorite game of all time that is held together by popsicle sticks and the indomitable human spirit so much more
kinda need voice actors to stand up for visual artists in games, at this point. feels like we’re getting sold up the river cuz we’re not as Visible and Celebrity as voice actors are
@LarAtLarian If you are using AI to generate ideas to explore, that is using AI in your game. This is duplicitous spin to say otherwise. The entire history of creative industry happened just fine without using AI, there is no need to shoot your game in the foot by using it now.
If you're using generative AI for concept art then yes, you DID use AI generated content in your game.
What the hell makes you think visual artists don't deserve the same respect as actors and writers?
