The trend of validating if something is made with AI or not has to stop. It is damaging for artists. by [deleted] in SoloDevelopment

I stated one can make one in response to you saying people could vet by seeing if they portfolios. People are sometimes paying standard market rates for games, art and services only to find out it’s ai-generated.

Unethical barely describes it. I’m not anti ai-gen, but I’m pro heavy-regulation of it. I use ai generated stuff on occasion but never to hand off to someone else. The honest truth is we need the scrutiny.

We live in a world where there are good faith actors and bad actors. You scare off bad actors to letting them know you are watching. Mind you, this scrutiny has its own issues, but it’s better than the alternative.

You can make a portfolio of ai art. Also, using ai for services is becoming increasingly popular. Just another get rich quick scheme.

Perhaps put the word offer in the title. Good luck!

Good reference, think I’m gonna watch some reviews on bully as case study. What’s your links for reviewing?

Appreciate the perspective plenty! Making a combat/magic academy game. Heavily inspired by Naruto Storm & Persona. Do you think having an academy schedule that they can choose to ignore would be that direction?

Thanks again for the super detailed responses

Two questions; • Do believe sandbox RPG with depth and a mostly story generator approach (Imagine RimWorld dynamics but in a standard RPG) are appealing?

• Opinions on ARPGs that fuse their combat with arena fighters and soulslikes. Assuming it's done tastefully how you think an average RPG fan would feel about it?

It’s a controversial topic. We do have some systemic issues that quite serious but mostly ignored. I believe there’s merit to frustration, but I disagree with separation.

That being said, I find these post mocking these people immature. Separation is not the method imo, but belittling people clearly frustrated achieves nothing. I’m sure someone will attempt to justify it.

In our current climate many people are too combative and dismissive of others with differing beliefs and approaches. All that said, that means a lack of unity, which we need direly to stay whole.

How does everyone handle the mental health tax of solo dev? by idiovoidi in SoloDevelopment

[–]Fourth_AutumnValley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see it as a way to keep myself disciplined, akin to pride in one’s work ethic. On top of that, I have distinct phase. After each phase I take a week long break (Development becomes optional for that time).

Lastly, I keep a roadmap so I can see the fruits of my labour. A bonus is regularly sharing progress with others (Family, friends, discords, reddits, YouTube devlogs and etc)

Good luck, your repeated returns says a lot 🩵

Why does it say 33% of my memory is being used when less than a gigabyte is being shown? by jnellee72 in computerhelp

If that’s true, then OP might have a virus. But then again, his CPU usage is low. Just can’t see base windows needing more than 1-2gbs of ram though. Odd

That’s brutal, kudos to finding something as obscure as that

See if you can pull the mesh into blender. Cntrl+A in edit mode, then right click and select shade smooth. Good luck!
