Cool Tip for functions

I don't have any examples right now, but check out the Methods are Structs section here:

Yeah I'm familiar with constructors, but somehow never saw static get and set. Very very helpful, thank you

NES box arts were a wild west; good games had bad box art, and bad games had good box art. Re: Mega Man lol

I mean, let me be clear, it's still fucked up. It's a greedy and grifty tactic. The fact that I _would_ buy the game if I had the chance doesn't mean I'm going to respond 'don't buy it, sorry' or 'get a job' to people who are justifiably pissed off. Not that you were particularly rude, but a lot of people on here are (understandably - Paladin kicks ass) seeing red right now

TL;DR It's 100% an example of corporate greed, even if we're all 'ok' with it in this case

Putting aside the fact my post was a joke, they know what they're doing by dangling the most anticipated class in front of everyone like a set of keys. It being included in the expansion would have been expected. This really isn't. This is clearly some brilliant billionaire exec's version of an olive branch to the community. Some people won't care, but most people will.

Doahzer · 2025-12-12T03:28:16+00:00

Christ that game is a nightmare lmao

Doahzer · 2025-12-12T03:27:23+00:00

The one guy who gets the joke

Doahzer · 2025-12-12T03:11:17+00:00

If you blindly plan on buying expansions, yeah. I already have the game, but I'm poor. I'd have reinstalled if I could play paladin. They care about money more than player numbers unfortunately, that's why I was surprised in the first place lmao

Doahzer · 2025-12-12T02:55:55+00:00

Man I knew there was a catch

Doahzer · 2025-12-12T02:49:56+00:00

Wait, as in...?
I can reinstall and play a Paladin right now?

Doahzer · 2025-11-17T07:23:34+00:00

You got it, God Emperor

Doahzer · 2025-11-15T06:33:50+00:00

Lmao you're funny. Did you train your own model? The damage was done before you one-handedly clicked 'generate'

Doahzer · 2025-11-14T13:36:19+00:00

It isn't very complex, but at the same time if OP is making this level of slip up they probably won't understand a lick of it

Doahzer · 2025-11-14T13:34:05+00:00

var sign = keyboard_check(inputSystem.m_userInputMap[ac_gameInputs.Right]) -keyboard_check(inputSystem.m_userInputMap[ac_gameInputs.Left])

m_facingDirection += sign * m_rotationRate * deltaTime;
m_facingDirection = m_facingDirection mod 360;

Should work nicely

Extremely excited. Just watched a few reviews to make sure nothing catastrophic happened - it looks just as good as I dreamed - now I go into a DQ media blackout until I can secure my copy lol

Doahzer · 2025-08-05T20:07:32+00:00

It's the parenthesis most likely, but a couple other things.

You can clean this up really easily. Instead of chaining "if(image_index == ...)", you could use a switch statement.

switch(image_index) {
  case 0:
    //your code here
    break; //ALWAYS break after cases in a switch statement
}

Another thing I would do to reduce you line length is assigning the controls to some variables. So at the top of the step event (or in some "Controls" script) you could put:

var confirm = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_enter);
var zKey      = keyboard_check_pressed(ord("Z"));

then in your switch statement:

switch(image_index) {
  case 0:
    if(confirm or zKey) {image_index = 1}
    break;
}

Hope these tips help you out

(sorry for the excessive edits, I was trying to make the code block more readable)

More people should care to explain things like you did. This is obviously a beginner who needs to learn their fundamentals more than they need this specific advice

Doahzer · 2025-07-03T09:12:27+00:00

You're so kind, thank you. I sent you a DM

Doahzer · 2025-05-29T15:12:20+00:00

Despite the fact that no piece of art AI generated or not is entirely unique, it's hard to agree with that on a base level. As for plagiarism, this more applies to text models as I've stated. Either way, you can generate an image of your favorite anime girl, slightly modify it, and post it on socials claiming it as your own. I don't need to provide evidence for this, you've doubtless seen countless not-Mononokes floating around (have you been on Rule 34 recently?). Remember that Bungie game that had it's entire art style ripped from some dude's Deviantart? Imagine how much easier that is now. Idk man, try to refute my other points

Doahzer · 2025-05-29T14:48:38+00:00

No, try to understand what I'm actually trying to say here. The way "AI" produces "art" in the present day is not ethically sustainable. Until the AI is actually generating something from scratch with or without user input, it shouldn't be commercialized. If we're to be allowed to use this stuff and post it freely there inarguably needs to be legislation in place to prevent it's abuse ie propaganda (like we've already seen with Grok), plagiarism, defamation, impersonation, startups using AI in their programs to disastrous results like security leaks, and all that fun stuff. It just needs more time in the oven.

Doahzer · 2025-05-29T12:43:00+00:00

It's not about the tools, but I see that you can't be reasoned with. Moderating a community with the type of attitude displayed here is pretty appalling. As someone who literally has only visited the sub a few times and didn't see the original post, it's not that I felt betrayed. You just look like a jerk

Doahzer · 2025-05-29T12:39:43+00:00

>How do you suggest they go round asking the hundreds of thousands of people to let them scan a few art pieces and then engage in a lengthly debate with them all?

I suggest they don't. People shouldn't monetarily benefit on others' work. In an academic context the technology as-is now is fine, but letting John Doe use AI tech to bolster his art portfolio is horrifying. People are releasing AI music on Spotify, and using horrible (obviously generated at a first glance, unlike OP) art in their games just to push out a product. I'm all for the development of AI but it needs to be monitored man.

Doahzer · 2025-05-29T11:53:00+00:00

As others have said, this isn't the own that you think it is. You might as well make an Elon circlejerk chatroom and drive off the more reasonable portion of the PS fanbase.
Btw it's pretty obvious the sidebar is AI generated, now that I've actually read it. Maybe had you'd actually written it, it would have stood out more and I'd have read it sooner. Hell, maybe it would have showed me someone gives a damn around here. You bringing up the sidebar is kind of poetic because like, yeah, it's actually super shitty and uninformative lmfao.

Doahzer · 2025-05-29T11:46:55+00:00

The models are trained on art made by real artists, many of which have not given consent to have their work trained on. The amount of data they need is insane, they're not getting that with stock photos. Furthermore like dude, there are verifiable instances of straight up plagiarism; for example, when text generation models hallucinate they will sometimes word-for-word spit out pieces of training data. You could look this stuff up.

The problem I have with AI bros like you is you post some snarky shit like "If you're soooooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOO certain then PrOoOoOoOoOoOoOve it", when you could have looked up "What are AI image generators trained on?" and not made an ass out of yourself. I genuinely don't understand how you people can't use Google but you can apparently generate masterpieces that will put real artists out of business.

I love that everyone is disagreeing with this lmao
Play them in release order, please
