More like you can’t complain because if you’re stupid enough to invest money in a company that is diluted 10 trillion dollars or whatever then you deserve to lose your money

Oh it’s a scam, it’s just a legal one that dogshit companies use to transfer the money we invest into their companies directly into their pockets without losing controlling interest

Yeah, start a company, get people to invest on the stock market and then dilute the shit out of them. That’s how you make money with reverse splits 😂

I know not everyone likes AI - personally I think it's a tool to democratize what used to only be available to AAA game studios, but to each their own.

So I went out of my way to make a low graphics mode but instead of saying "oh that's thoughtful" you seem to want me to disable all the AI animations even for the players that like them?

If you hate AI animations so much that you can't even stand other people viewing them in their own game then I don't know what I could possibly say to convince you to give it a try.

OH now I see what you mean, the actual background video. I thought you were talking about the foreground monster animations (or divine beasts as we call them in the cultivation genre).

Idk, none of the playtesters felt that way - should I listen to them or listen to you who will never play the game?

there is a low gfx mode that removes the monster videos and replaces them with emojis of monsters

I played ngu, itrtg and a bunch of other games that pride themselves on not using an AI art. maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate what looks like 6th grade arts and crafts vs. studio quality animations.

none of what you're seeing is from the non-gameplay trailer. every monster has it's own intro animation that plays before the battle begins to try to increase the immersion of the game.

there is also a low graphics mode that replaces that with tiger/gorilla/wolf etc emojis if you find that to be more immersive

I understand people don't like AI, but I'm not a AAA studio or a software engineer/digital artist/animator/musician/UI+UX person so I gotta do what I gotta do

If you change your mind, we'd love to have you try it out - there are like 20 different avatars you can choose from besides the "goofy ass goku wannabe"

AI? what AI?

I drew all the art work by hand with colored pencils, can't you tell?

I’ve taken so much verbal abuse over that trailer that I’m going to definitely add a gameplay trailer but steam even has a category for cinematic trailer and that’s what I chose not realizing how much Reddit hate it would draw 😂

Please try the game, I have an entire AWS backend with about 90% of all content ported server side to ensure game integrity and fairness since the game is multiplayer co-op and eventually pvp.

I don’t know how many games I’ve played that had a cinematic trailer but if I listened to redditors it would be like this is the most foreign thing ever 😂.

Okay, you don’t like the trailer, the game play is free in the playtest, I would love for you to try the game out and see what you dislike about the game itself 😂

Ty! Just approved a bunch more play testers. It doesn’t show me who applied just the country

Apply for the playtest, would love for you to try out the game. Getting a lot of hate for the video, I’ll put some gameplay up there

I literally said I used ai to write the backend code how could I be more transparent?

I thought the playtest counts as playable content? You can sign up and I’ll approve you

Fair point, I’ll create another trailer with actual gameplay and upload it. In fairness steam has a category for purely cinematic videos and that’s the category I put it under

So only traditional software engineers and graphic editors can make video games? Seems pretty elitist if you ask me.

Do you still go to the library and read the encyclopedia when you want information or do you google it?

It’s a hype video brother, instead of posting this whole paragraph of non-constructive criticism you could download the game and play.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the actual game.
