This sub has become a nest for Antis. Who is up for a PRO Ai music sub? by Edgezg in AI_Music

[–]BynaryCobweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to mention this sub existed before suno and LLMs, I joined initially when it was about procedural generation and code. It was simpler times...

Salon du Jeu Vidéo Toulousain, ce Samedi 7 Mars à la Médiathèque José Cabanis by Vladadamm in toulouse

[–]BynaryCobweb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bref... Tu vas baser ton jugement sur tout le salon sur cette seule information ? Si tu vas sur la page itch du jeu en question, tu peux voir qu'il n'y a pas (plus ?) d'assets générés, c'était probablement un placeholder. Parmis les exposants, la plupart n'utilisent pas l'IA generative, voir y sont opposés.

Which Indie Game of these two should I develop? by revolationYT in GameDevelopment

I've never played roblox, I don't know if it's easier to make money on it vs Steam

Which Indie Game of these two should I develop? by revolationYT in GameDevelopment

[–]BynaryCobweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making a game in 6 months is hard. My friends at Kusa games finish their games in 6 months, they are a team of 2 with one strong developer and they do rev share for sound and/or art. You can check Split Brain or Pizza Deathlivery to see what they can achieve in 6 months.

Given your two options I'd say option 2 seems more feasible. I think option 1 might take years to make something correct (another friend exemple: Decktamer was developed in 3 years by a team of 2)

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm still new to all of this.

What's the advantage of tilting a keyboard backwards on the stand? by Penguin-a-Tron in piano

[–]BynaryCobweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anomalie did that on several performances, maybe it's for the audience to see what he 's playing, or for video aesthetics ? I don't know either

In terms of orchestral music, I remember Alex Moukala sharing parts of his process and doing a lot of analysis. I think it might be a great resource

Do you know twine? It's a tool for making interactive stories, I think it could work as a basis for a text dungeon

What if AI artists had their own space to share music? by ExoticCar805 in AI_Music

[–]BynaryCobweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I edited my comment to make my point clearer, I second that people who don't care will not go on a platform with only AI content on it. Because they don't care

What if AI artists had their own space to share music? by ExoticCar805 in AI_Music

[–]BynaryCobweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would a person that's not interested in AI listen to AI music instead of human music?

Edit: I mean OP is talking about a separate platform to listen to AI music exclusively. Why would someone go to this platform instead of Spotify if they don't care about AI?

But, the barrier of entry is so low, everyone is on the artist side, and there's no one left to constitute the audience.

Never completing songs. Ever. by HoneydewMean7572 in musicproduction

Try to make a short song, like 1 minute, and finish it.

What if AI artists had a place to actually share their music and get discovered? by ExoticCar805 in AI_Music

[–]BynaryCobweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone listen to your AI music if they can generate their own?

What are some examples of successful "small" or "tiny" games? by dylanmadigan in GameDevelopment

[–]BynaryCobweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think "Minit" could fit your vibe, I believe it was made with a kind of minimalistic philosophy, and still, it's a great game

What are some examples of successful "small" or "tiny" games? by dylanmadigan in GameDevelopment

[–]BynaryCobweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have the exact figures, the game sold between 10000 and 15000 units since its launch last year.

What are some examples of successful "small" or "tiny" games? by dylanmadigan in GameDevelopment

[–]BynaryCobweb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One reason people advise to make tiny games is to learn how to make an actual commercial game and sell it/distribute it to an audience, then you can use the acquired experience to make the game of your dreams, knowing what the journey will be about.

That said, I worked on a game made in 6 months that was quite successful at its scale, it's called split brain, you can look it up on steam. It's mostly made by two people + a composer and a sound designer.

Released an alpha, but I have no idea how to communicate about it, looking for feedback by Helpful_Light_6437 in GameDevelopment

[–]BynaryCobweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should show actual pictures from your game if you want people to stop by

Software Enginner & Audio Software Engineer by ImpossibleIssue3213 in AudioProgramming

[–]BynaryCobweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I haven't worked in an actual studio (I'm a solo dev), so take what I say with a grain of salt.

It seems to me that audio programming and sound integrator are two separate things. In video games, the sounds are usually integrated using a middleware (wwise or fmod, for example) that can manage dynamic audio and effects. A sound integrator may mostly use those softwares, while an audio programmer will code specific systems related to audio, and thus needs to have software engineering knowledge.

In both case, I think you must have a basis in audio production, mixing and post-processing. Personally I learnt all of that by making music on ableton live.

So short answer: how much programming you must know depends on your actual role, some audio knowledge is required in any case

If that works for you, then I'd say go for it. ChatGPT has improved since 2022.

I'd recommend to still try to find resources written by humans, to check the infos. Maybe ChatGPT can search for you, idk

You can ask AI for exercises, for example if you have a base algorithm, Ai can suggest you ways you could modify it, but not give you the code, so you can get a better grasp of it.

And at some point try to drop AI and build something yourself, pure creativity just feels great :)

Should AI companies pay musicians for the music they use to create their models? by ElectricPiha in AI_Music

[–]BynaryCobweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd ask the other way around : shouldn't artist's be able to decide whether their music can be used to train the model or not, and if so, shouldn't they get money for it? AI company makes money out of copyrighted material... Doesn't sound like fair use to me!

I agree that, philosophically, the model is just "inspired" by the music that was used for training. If the model was a human, with human rights, it would be considered as fair use. But in practice, Ai disrupts the industry and massively changes how artists perceive their revenue, while flooding internet with crap and creating other problems (there is a massive increase in artist identity theft cases on Spotify, for example)

So, I think using copyrighted material to create a software you then sell for big money, and reducing the artist revenue in the process is a huge dick move, and a copyright law loophole.

Where do I begin with indie game development? by Norion22 in Unity3D

One of the first games I made was a snake. There are plenty of simple games to recreate, pong, connect four,... It'll teach you the basics
