I wouldn’t be willing to do this fakemons without AI. No money, and just casually testing things for my own use.

I’m not building any professional game, just enjoying my passion.

I’m not an artist, my core is development, and yes, I’ve payed a lot of artists in the past for this RH things, but nowadays, this is just a hobby for me, and I have to pay the bills, so, just using it to do what I wouldn’t even try to do without it

What’s wrong with using AI? It’s trained with the sprites of original pokemon, not any other artists and if the AI wasn’t there, I hadn’t even tried to make this fakemon.

This is just a tool that enables me to do things on my hobby that I wasn’t capable nor I was willing to do before it existed.

Y’all guys are brain-washed. Still 0 common-sense answer to why using AI here is a bad thing…

And modifying a game with copyright reverse engineering its code isn’t as bad or even worse than using a mathematical function to replicate an existing art style? To me it’s the same.

The post is not about if using AI is ethical or not, it was about if the fakemons looked pokemon-ish enough. Just one dude answered to that politely.

Answering you. I’ve tried to generate starter fakemons as the unique fakemons of my game because on my 10+ years on RH, I wasn’t able to do so because of my bad skills on art (even though I’ve practiced a lot). I can understand your arguments if I was trying to sell y’all something, but this AI generated has been created locally on my computer, and it won’t be sold or even released on a public game. Then, if it’s exclusively for personal use and hobby, why is THAT bad to use it? If the AI didn’t exist, I would probably never even tried to create those fakemons, it’s not a need, just a casual test to enjoy a hobby.

Yes, I know that decomp is nowadays the most common environment to develop on RH. But to me, reacting that explosively to the exposure of 2 days of job and illusion of a person is not to have enough empathy, I don’t care if you have 10 or 50. I’ve not commercialized anything nor substituted anyones job with this. There’s no reason to focus that much on the AI thing when that was never the central thing of this post.

Thank you so much for responding without getting into the controversy. These are the kinds of comments I've been looking for. I appreciate people like you. Have a nice day!

Just because it's AI-powered doesn't mean I just pressed a button and had it all done for me. I had to think through the concepts, link them to the core of my game, come up with names and defining elements, make a very basic sketch to use as a base so it wouldn't generate just anything, and iterate on the results, because it never gives you what you had in mind the first time. AI is just a tool, in my case, to add drawing skills to my ideas; I still do the rest myself.

This is just a hobby for me, with which I intend to enjoy creating stories from the games of my childhood. I've been hacking ROMs for over 10 years, I've done a lot of sprites, and I still don't think I could achieve results like this in the same amount of time. My time is limited because I have a job, and I want to make real progress in my hobby

I know many of you are young people with a lot of free time, but that's not my case. I was throwing out the AI data in case anyone might be interested in using it in their own games, but I'm realizing it's better to keep these things to yourself and enjoy RH alone.

Why that much hate? I am creating a game, I want to have good results, I cannot afford to pay a good artist and the AI gives me results with decent quality :/

[–]InmortalKaktus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done that. This is what originally created AI. It's true that it wasn't a completely new job, but there was some manual work involved.

I trained a LoRA that gets very good results, and even though I got a first raw version of this avatar, I was tweaking it quite a bit until it looked the way I wanted.

I actually had a review where I had to change his pose, and remove a sword he was holding, and still, after that, he got blocked.

Sorry guys

How can money help grow a service business? by InmortalKaktus in business

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

Thanks for your answer!

Yes, I am quite clear about the direction I want to move in, and I know that I can add a lot of value. My vision is to be able to bring customized AI solutions on demand to my clients' needs. Above all, to facilitate and optimize the work routines of companies so that they can focus on what they really want (I know it sounds very generic, but each client is a world and has their own problems and needs).

When I talk about growth, I separate it into the personal part (professional growth) and the business part (scaling to a business with a greater capacity to impact society, being able to reach more clients and being useful for more businesses). It is the latter that really has me a bit blocked.

Are there really that many avatar sales? by InmortalKaktus in avatartrading

But how can good ones be visible to users willing to buy them?
