I was like "useee bastionnn" for about a full minute at the end there 😂 I really enjoyed the warcraft 3 like vibe of this one

[@MrSqueasil]

bro. i bought this game and havent regret it a single second. it does have its rough edges but there is so much protentional and the core of the game is amazing.

Such a shame Splat completely forgot he had an invulnerability button. :p Still, an interesting concept and execution, not sure it's for me though, I'm not too fond of deck builders in general.

The art style looks to me like Midjourney v3. I've seen orcs very much like those glowy-red-eye ones in the first image before.

the art is almost certainly Ai generated.. look at the glowing red eyes and some have eyeballs on top

The game looks fun. If the devs are reading this, and if they appreciate being given ideas that they didn't even ask for: how about a 'scavenger' card that lets you have a scavenger run along your walls with a fishing rod, collecting the resources left at the bottom of the walls?

I just think it’s interesting that @YNBAW accuses us of ‘seething’ when we’re just commiserating at a shared uncertainty about the future. Is us not talking up the tech so offensive that you have to pipe up here? It’s also worth noting that this tech literally just grabs bits from work created by humans. At no point is the tech just magically producing the work by itself. Hate humans all you want to. When machines come for your job, I’ll still commiserate with you. It mad at your strange reaction.

I'm 90% sure that "banger art" is AI generated, just can't tell whether it's Stable Diffusion or MidJourney. Nothing wrong with it, other than to recognize generations do not take any meaningful effort, and isn't a very good indicator of game quality.

To say creating good AI art doesnt take meaningful effort, is to lie.

@@thant0s Most artists using AI to create game assets are using AI to enhance pictures they have made, then are photoshopping it, then running through AI, then photoshopping, over and over. It takes a lot of experience to create the vision in your head. Sure YOU can go find some script of prompts but that doesnt mean the art you produce is any use. I suspect your hatred of AI is just jealously of the results people are getting. Its sad. Art is for everyone, and ugly snobby attitudes to people doing art you dont like is petty and rude

[@thant0s]

@@donovanteale6502 ".. I suspect your hatred of AI.." That right there? Don't do that. Not only in this case are you horribly off the mark, but by now everyone recognizes how ludicrous a tactic it is. I don't "hate" AI generated art, far the hell from it, I'm an *enthusiast* who's generated, by now, thousands of images. I would wager that if your assumption is it's an impossibility to create "good art" *just* using the built-in tools of Stable Diffusion, for example, you would absolutely be incorrect, just from my own barely involved fumblings with prompts / negatives. Whatever someone decides to do *after the fact* is on them, but co-opting that in an attempt to invalidate my initial statement is incredibly disingenuous, and I suspect you're capable of far better than that.

There is no artist there, Splat. It's all AI ''art' from midjourney, and it's an insult to the craft honestly (I am a concept artist that works on videogames) it's why all the eyes and hand look weird the skeletons have like 0 anatomy sense and parts of it 'bleed' into the background and the edges are fuzzy in some places. Theres no artistic intention here, only a mashup of parts stolen from my peers's (and me lmao) work. AI is also the reason many of us have it harder to keep and find jobs in the industry lately, so it's really a shame to see an indie game using this when they could have paid a real person. I understand if they're like a SUPER INDIE company and they're 2 cats in a trenchcoat without any money, but I really hope they don't rely on this for long and move to getting an artist as soon as they can, times are really rought for us in the industry and this thing should have never been made in the first place since it works using our work to get rid of us without, ofc, any kind of compensation.
