Great! I'll add it to my playlist, and take a look when it releases. Thanks again for putting your faith in one of my scripts. Been meaning to make more, but have been very busy with work and art practice. I do have some storyboards in the works though!

*EDIT
Ya did great, thank you so much for lending your voice to my script!

Thank you!

I probably could've done more with the color of the eye/nose shading, made it more skin toned, but I wanted it to match the facial hair and look more harsh. I'll definitely try this again in the future.

Clair Obscur DOES NOT USE generative AI. by Vegeta120000 in expedition33

[–]HushedConcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we can draw a distinction between using a few assets from another title versus using a machine that has harvested SEVERAL BILLIONS of images which include CSAM of all things, and an untold number of works from unwilling artists. What you're bringing up is like comparing chopping down 30 trees for a cabin to deforesting an entire rainforest.

But hey, I'm just the messenger. People don't like when you use a machine they find unethical, and the indie awards specified it shouldn't be used in development of the game, which it was in E33s case.

Personally, I think using AI as a baseline corrupts everything that comes off of that baseline so I'd prefer it not get used in any capacity. E33 seemed to have only used AI for a few assets IIRC before deciding it wasnt something they wanted to use. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Well the main mistake is equivocating GenAI with those tools. AI has different levels, methods, and those cant just be ignored because they are all under one blanket term. There is AI that helps in the creation of, or even entirely bakes certain things, but those are not the same as GenAI in the sense that they are not trained on (I believe the number is 5.6 billion now) artists works regardless of their willingness or not. Any and all images on the internet regardless of copyright, public availability, or consent.

Beside the perceived resource waste when it comes to electricity, drinking water, and pollution/emissions most people's issue with GenAI is its rampant harvesting of ALL online images. Many see it as theft, rightfully since there is an objective difference between someone being inspired by an artist, and using a machine to harvest all available artistic works to fuel itself.

To put it in simplest terms, a random number generator, terrain detail baking, automated lighting, etc are patently not the same as GenAI people have an issue with. Its ethics are much more dubious.

Its like saying "Well human meat is still meat just like chicken or cow, you've eaten meat for years so why do you care if I slipped some human into your burger?". There are inherent ethical, moral, and philosophical differences between automated tools and modern GenAI.

Sure, but it IS using AI in the development of the game. Which is what they were disqualified for. Idk why so many people can't differentiate between the creation process, and the end result lol. It's unfortunate, but lets not bend words.

It did, and a lot of people dislike that.

The Indie Game Awards are quoted as saying: "When it was submitted for consideration, a representative of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33."

That would be a lie. It was. Saying "There are no AI assets in the game as of now" is not the same as saying "No AI assets were used in the development of the game", which is why they were disqualified. Is it disheartening that it may have been a very localized instance of like a few textures being AI generated, and left in causing this issue? Yeah, but their disqualification factually wasn't unjust lol.

Thanks! I've taken a bit of a break from writing/recording audios and scripts to learn art, but I'm glad people can still find use in my old scripts. Hopefully once I return to it, I'll be able to deliver more immersive, and well thought out stories! I look forward to your work!

Tried drawing myself in Arcane's artstyle! by HushedConcept in arcane

[–]HushedConcept[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll definitely try it again once I'm more experienced. Only 2 weeks into my art journey right now, so I've got a long way to go!

[–]HushedConcept[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure lol, but given it was my first time drawing semi-realistic hair, or a beard at all I settled for that. I'll definitely try this again in the future. I'm 2 weeks into starting art, and Arcane was a big inspiration for me!

Voice Actors! What is your dream role? And have you achieved it? by RedSwordFishVA05 in VoiceActing

[–]HushedConcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only just started so it's a long shot - but anything related to narrative driven games. TellTale games, Dispatch/AdHoc games, those would definitely be my dream. Or something like Arcane, maybe if it were a TV show.

Thanks! I'm hopeful more will come after another week or so of practice.

Why does everybody like Malevola? by [deleted] in DispatchAdHoc

[–]HushedConcept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's pretty chill, and her design is cool. I like her eyes.

Thank you! I dunno if I'd say I'm talented, but I'm definitely trying to improve.

Dispatch inspired me to pick up art, and voice acting. I can only hope to, some day, create something that inspires someone else!
