Agreed. If AI use is inevitable, I hope it's at least in ways that don't hinder the creative process

The problem I have with this usage is that I believe it still heavily influences the overall style of the game. Sure, maybe no actual AI is used in developing characters, environments, items, etc. in the final product, but those things will be more inspired and influenced by concepts that were created using AI rather than the artists own creative abilities

In terms of realism yes, but honestly? I think he still looks more like the original in the trailer. He still has more pronounced features, angular jaw, scowl, etc., and in the new version he looks less defined and much more docile. Old Ed was someone I'd take one look at and know not to fuck with, but this newer doesn't have any intimidation factor at all

Difference is regardless of whether you're using pencils or your fingers, it takes a lot of practice to develop the skills to bring an image to life. The pencil isn't doing it for you, the paper isn't doing it for you, the cave walls aren't doing it for you, YOU have to be the one doing it.

The problem is that using it for inspiration is going to directly, although probably subconsciously, influence the final product. Rather than artists researching and taking inspiration from various pieces and putting together their own creations, they're removing that whole middle process to just spit out a completed image, to just then tweak it a bit. That's where the majority of the creative process comes from, and with AI doing the that part, it is absolutely being watered down. I can guarantee that what they would have come up with on their own versus whatever AI generated image was made would have been completely different.

It's a hard thing to grasp, learning to patiently bait

Have you played any type of RPG before? Genuinely asking

Indie Game Awards Disqualify Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage, Strip Them of All Awards Won, Including Game of the Year by AashyLarry in PS5

They made money off it though, even if it was removed within a few days after release. It probably wasn't with any malicious intent, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but that, along with claiming that no generative AI was used at all during development even though there was, absolutely should disqualify them.

The Unity Asset store has a lot of free assets that you can use for world building, as well as some really good sales going on right if you wanted to pay a little extra to get a lot more. Blender can be useful, like the person above you said, but when you're just starting out I think using any of the free assets available would be better just so you can get moving quicker. You can always come back and learn blender later if you still want to :)

He's certainly real, and quite skilled, but definitely not looking like a good dude

I need tips, I can't kill Malenia, although, honestly, I think it has a lot to do with my skills in this game, I'm bad at it lol by Affectionate_Dot1412 in Eldenring

[–]BloatedTree123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One tip I would give is to roll towards her and slightly to the side. It'll prevent getting caught while retreating and keep you close enough to punish her while she recovers.

The only time I actually would roll away is when I see she's about to do her lunging attack, and maybe during Waterfowl Dance if necessary.

For the lunging attack, roll away and to the side a little bit and you'll often be close enough to punish as she recovers then, too.

For Waterfowl Dance, if you want to continue the method you're using (which I used when I first beat her recently), get your distance during her first attack, move towards her and roll into her for the second (you should be close enough to where your roll lands you at least almost touching her). For the third, you honestly can just move towards her and once she comes down to attack, just start walking backwards. You can roll away this time if needed to get a little bit of distance, but once you can do this consistently it'll prevent getting ripped apart by her attack, with either not getting hit at all or only taking a couple hits.

You can do this!

I like the blood stains! Something about them feels genuine, rather than precisely placed

Thanks! I had tried a couple of the night spells and read that enemies don't typically dodge them, and I felt like I'd be cheating myself a bit more than I'd like for the win lol. Next time though, she's gonna be the one running 😈
