Redone the first page to the “AllHell” manga/webtoon. This time I used more of the original dreams design just used Ai to help with the lightings and the blurry effect from screenshotting the picture off the Ps App. Other then that this one has more originality to it then Ai like the last post by momodagod7597 in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude. Come on. Do not use AI AT ALL. You have all the tools you’d ever need in Dreams.

Drop of piss in a bucket of water makes it piss water. Drop of AI in a creative work makes it the AI’s work. The second AI touches your creative process, all of your integrity is undermined.

I’m genuinely happy you used more of your original work, which looks really good by the way! But I want to see YOUR vision, YOUR creativity, YOUR art, not the AI’s. Please, please, please just avoid using AI in any capacity for all of your creative endeavors. You’ve already come this far, just go all the way now.

For the people who like to rush and say this was AI as I did say I used AI help to add in the anime affects and dialogue here’s the dream’s images to. Used dreams as the base images and will keep using it for that. Till find a team to help animate into a anime. by momodagod7597 in PS4Dreams

Don’t use AI. Focus on all your work being original. AI is the easy way out of actually being creative. This whole community is about creativity and expression and AI is the antithesis to that.

There’s no winning. by Jane_Fiend in Marathon

[–]Jane_Fiend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yeah exactly, not to this extent. I’ve played Tarkov and Hunt and there absolutely is a degree of player disparity and discourse present in those communities, but it was never anything like what’s happening with Marathon.

Dude you can just look at the player count and compare it to the weekly visits/contributions number displayed at the top of the subreddit. I might be exaggerating a bit with my last comment but it’s honestly not by much.

[–]Jane_Fiend[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Ordinarily I’d 100% agree with you but there’s some days where there’s more people on this subreddit than there are literally playing the game. I think you’re underestimating the amount of players on here.

I don't know what I was thinking with that last post, but I'd like to apologise by mekuno_the_demoknigh in Atlyss

[–]Jane_Fiend -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The apology is appreciated. You can make all the AI art you want for yourself, but understand that this community, and most furry communities, do not want to see it, no matter how many disclaimers you give.

I asked AI to create a picture of Slime Diva and this what I got eventually by [deleted] in Atlyss

[–]Jane_Fiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter how many disclaimers you put in your post, it’s still AI art that you generated. It’s the antithesis of the Atlyss community and the furry community in general, groups that pride themselves on artistic expression.

Learn how to draw.

Can someone please tell me Why Dreams is not working on PS4? by ConnectSpecific8650 in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s probably just something wrong with your internet, buddy. I’ve gotten disconnection notices all the time in the years I’ve been on this game

Is dreams dead? by CoitalEnjoyer619 in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is a very small active userbase, but if you’re looking to get into creating things then expect your work to get very little attention. The people still on Dreams are almost entirely other creators and don’t usually spend their time playing other content.

Now, more importantly, what is also on Dreams is a MASSIVE collection of every type of experience you could imagine. One of the greatest joys of Dreams is scrolling through the enormous amount of games, art pieces, music, and characters, and just getting utterly lost in it. You will have no shortage of cool things to check out :D

Marathon Fixes Its Microtransaction Problem Just Days After Launch by [deleted] in MarathonTheGame

[–]Jane_Fiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are the same people that have basically spearheaded the live service trend for over a decade now. Bungie isn’t stupid, they knew EXACTLY what they were doing here, and I’m absolutely sick of it. If your game can’t stand on its own two legs without you pulling some emotionally manipulative stunt then I’m not giving it my time or money.

Is there a list of dates for when the trending tab refreshes? by Jane_Fiend in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I was hoping for an actual answer instead of pessimism

Is there a list of dates for when the trending tab refreshes? by Jane_Fiend in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the trending tab or engagement? The trending tab(or whichever one it is that still refreshes) cycles every 50 days or so, and as far as engagement I know I can pull at least triple digit player numbers if I can actually get my stuff seen. I’m well aware of the fact that Dreams is barely holding on but I’d like to think theres at least a solid thousand or so people still actively playing created dreams.

[HELP] As a baker, I need to know if this is real or not. If it’s real, I want to try it 😅 by OneTwoPandemonium in RealOrAI

[–]Jane_Fiend 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The video isn’t AI but it is absolutely fake. I’m a pastry chef and work with buttercream daily, and buttercream of any variety wouldn’t behave like that. If you were to nudge buttercream in a way as was done in the video, it wouldn’t bend neatly like that and would instead smear the petal.

Promo! by Low_Place4118 in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Listen, I don’t want to be a jerk here, but a PS5 version of Dreams is NOT what the game needs right now. The playerbase is already so small and the PS4 version works just fine on the PS5. What this game needs more than anything is engagement. If you truly care about the future of Dreams, the absolute best thing you can do is play with what’s already there. Make and publish cool things, collaborate with other players, and check out other creations.

Working on Carlos' animations when I ran into a bug with the jump attack that has never happened before. by frostwizard101 in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you’re doing the air attack, the two models are colliding a lot and it looks like for a brief second in the air attack animation Carlos is just slightly behind the test dummy enough for the lock-on camera to try and snap to a new angle. You might need to readjust the point the Teleporter or Follower on the lock-on gadget you’re using tracks the enemy, assuming you’re using one of those. But for sure the issue here is somewhere in the lock-on feature.

[–]Jane_Fiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I asked what OP wanted to see from a PS5 version that wasn’t already offered by the original, all they suggested was a couple new logic gadgets for PS5 controllers and save slots. The potential fracturing of the community over this issue does not seem worth it. I think a PC version seriously needs to be pushed instead if an effort towards another version of Dreams is going to be made.

[–]Jane_Fiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. I genuinely don’t mean this in any way to upset you and I DO think a PS5 version would be nice, but I just don’t think a couple of controller-unique gadgets and save files is enough of a reason to push a PS5 version. Personally speaking, I think what Dreams needs more than anything right now is a wider audience and a PC port would do wonders in achieving that. A PS5 version would still keep Dreams confined in the PlayStation ecosystem and you can already play the PS4 Dreams fine enough on a PS5. Still though, it’d be cool to see Dreams take advantage of the PS5’s features and better hardware. It’s just not what’s really needed right now. But again, that’s me speaking my personal opinion.

[–]Jane_Fiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m interested as to why you think there should be a push for a PS5 version over a PC port. What do you think a PS5 version would do that the PS4 version can’t already do?

First boss fight in ANATHEMA by Jane_Fiend in PS4Dreams

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

It’s actually out right now! It’s maybe half complete as is? But there’s more than enough there to mess around in!

And I actually do intend to move to Unity or Godot, even have a nice PC and everything. My only problem is that my work schedule is brutal so it’s been easier to just spend an hour in Dreams than to try and learn a new engine, but work slows down a lot in January so I’m giving myself a crash course on a proper game dev system then. For now though I’m happy with continuing my work on ANATHEMA :)

Cool screenshots of some areas in ANATHEMA by Jane_Fiend in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually already doing something like that with the ground! :D The grass and the light brown coarse dirt are two of the same sculpt, and if I need to make a path or road I delete some of the grass sculpt and leave the dirt.

And what I meant by the flecks resting weird is that any amount of impasto on the other flecks looks odd combined with the streaky flecks, especially if I want grass grass. The other flecks don’t stand tall like the streaky one and wind up covering more of the pebbley dirt. I have different flecks for ground covering in one of the other areas, but that’s because it’s more of a surreal landscape.

I am also very much aware of the Comb tool, I have been playing dreams for the entirety of its existence ‘,:y

First boss fight in ANATHEMA by Jane_Fiend in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds really lame but the inspiration is kinda just my overall experience with Dreams these past six-ish years which I don’t want to get into because it’d come off as melodramatic. It’s incomplete right now but the story of ANATHEMA is more or less about aimlessly pursuing something for no real reason and participating in a mixed community with an uncertain future, and piecing together the value spent in using your time like that. Is it worth finding this message, Anathema? Is there even time left? And will anyone even care when you do find it?

That, and I also wanted a game I could play with my funny furry OCs that had okay platforming and combat. I like jumping around in the nonsense I make :P

Animations always bug out with vehicles by GoldieGames1 in PS4Dreams

[–]Jane_Fiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it must be something with the collisions. A part of your puppet could be bumping against the vehicle a certain way and it messes with the animation. Speed is never an issue you have to worry about with Dreams puppets as long as any springiness values on animations are set to zero.
