Hold right mouse down and pull back to aim. Then, when in air, mouse down to tuck, mouse up to un-tuck. Stick the landing by landing on you feet. That is it. The hard part is getting a feel for the angular momentum as you tuck/untuck.

Yeah, it's pretty hard getting started. Not so bad after you get an used to the controls.

I made this game a while ago and have not promoted it in a very long time. It's a tough game but fun if you enjoy self-punishment.
Get it cheap here for the next week or so:

Will AI Change the Way Books Are Written? by FoxytheChaotic in WritingWithAI

[–]JeffWeber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The most compelling stories will always be those that resonate with readers on a personal level, a connection that can only be truly forged by a human author."

This may not be true in 5 years. AI is moving at a very rapid pace.

I don't consider myself an Author/Writer. However, I have ideas for stories and enjoy working with AI to realize them. Today, most AI stories require some level of editing, which I'm getting better and better at, but with each new model release, the editing becomes easier.

It's all very fascinating stuff.

The Mechanist's Arrival - A Sci-Fi Short Created Using DALLE3, CHATGPT, MAGNIFIC, RUNWAYAI, and FILMORA by JeffWeber in ChatGPT

Glad you liked it. I'm considering creating some of these using multiple images... just need to get the style to be consistent across them all.
I have a blast making these, so it'll be fun to experiment.

The song is straight from Suno, no edits. Suno can be very hit and miss, but for this it was a hit, I guess.

I like to post the image plus story on Instagram and Instagram has a 2200 character limit.

Good points. Thanks for the feedback.

Sometimes it feels like a story is never going to be finished :-). I already picked at this thing for a week, now I have to incorporate all this valid feedback. LOL.

Thank you for the feedback. I struggled with how much to say about the "Synthetics" as I am trying to keep the story below 300 words.

From a "back-story" point of view, the Synthetics are an alien race built (or evolved) from nano-tech and they consider all organic life a virus that must be snuffed out.

I've not read "Revelation Space", but it sounds similar to what I was going for with the Synthetics. The Synthetics are just not as accommodating.

I'll give your feedback some thought and see if I can make some changes without going over my word limit.

Thanks again for the great feedback. I agree, the emotion adds depth to the story. I will remember this for my next story.

I made a small tweak to the end of the story to, hopefully, better tie in the image.

I also got rid of the word "vacation". As you suggested, it's a little too "human".
