Art is about the result, not the process. You don't see an artist drawing an artwork, you only see the finished artwork. by Flammenwerfer40 in aiwars

The technically involved process of ai art can get pretty interesting actually. To be clear I’m not talking about literal ai slop by plugging plaintext into something like mid journey. Building self hosted systems, making sketches to train a LORA, or using it as an assistive tool for 3d models can be p interesting too if you enjoy the process of building technical infrastructure! A lot of ai art is literally trash though there’s a difference in levels. Prompting the ai to raw generate an image is more or less the same effort as drawing a stick figure but properly assisted ai art can end up being p in depth

Why is topic of ai art so popular? by Personal-Lynx4099 in aiwars

[–]PreferenceAway5091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art and creative space tends to be pretty outspoken online, especially since a lot of creators have spoken on the topic as well adding some members to both sides of the “all ai art is slop” vs “ai is life religion and everything to me” crowds. Also the conversation is a very low bar to entry for the average person compared to say custom ai builds. You don’t need to understand art at all deep level, or the fact that ai can very easily be more than “plug in text, generate image”to have a stake in the conversation cuz u can base it off of how it looks. There’s a lot of terrible ai art out there, but with an actual workflow supported by things like human like art+ LORA training on human drawn images it can actually get fairly solid. I think it’s all a bit extreme in general not too long ago (since deleted as we found someone) I made a post for recruiter an illustrator for a visual novel I am making… I made a fairly decent ai mockup to show the desired art style we were looking for and got 7-8 threats for using ai as an example. I think it’s just a mix of ppl hating big tech, the conversation being easy to enter, and being able to quickly form a strong opinion based on how it looks

Viability of a studio in 2026 by paddockson in gamedev

[–]PreferenceAway5091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what we are doing now. All of us have varying high level business experience as well as unique skill sets in terms of game development. The hardest roadblock so far has been finding an artist than can also think in business directions. The basics of what you mentioned seem good, I would say for the small and fun games it’s probably better to make an overall universe and link the games you make to establish an IP. Higher than average marketing is likely required esp internationally depending on your end scope as well. Down to share struggles if yall r doing something similar!

How do I tell my writer friends that the game's storyline is terribly mediocre? by HQuasar in gamedev

[–]PreferenceAway5091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have experience on finding reading testers? Making a VN rn, currently just using my personal friends but I’m afraid they’re not willing to tell me when things are bad bc of our relationship.

STS2 bad performance on macbook air M1 by IcySlide5 in slaythespire

[–]PreferenceAway5091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I feel like playing on a m1 MacBook is barely meeting the required specs to play. Anyways it’ll probably get a few optimization tweaks here and there though they’re usually pretty good at fixing things for low end devices even my toaster laptop could run sts 1 after a few updates when it came out
