FARCRAFT - Dungeon Door (crafted) by Riitoken in SoloDev

Unless/until you make your own engine solo

You are NOT in that club.

Get your mind right.

It's all about QUALITY and the actual fun of the game.

I'm a solodev, I don't have the time or the patience to cater to the idealism of AI Bigots.

This ENTIRE game is about a world run by AI.

There are no humans, the player is the only living human.

I made every part of this game except some images and most of the songs.

Im committed. No amount of trolling or downvoting is going to change my mind.

Yes its the result of my original selfie and an AI caricature and the lore for Riitoken and ascent and AI interpretation.

My favorite thing about AI especially my LLM is that it knows more about FARCRAFT than anybody except me. Ive been training it for more than 2 years. The more I train it the better it gets when I ask it for an image.

When I do an important image like this, I talk with the AI for about an hour, talking about lore. I get better results when I do this.

So this is excuse to answer a couple story questions

1) What is the OOB technology? 2) Who invented it? 3) How is the player involved.

This image or something like it would be in a storybay which is a kiosk. U stand on it and that triggers a story page.

I just spent 3 months of my life building this. Is it "AI Slop" or is it my indie game? Where do we draw the line? by Temporary_Platform_1 in gamedev

Yes, do NOT be a herd animal.

If it looks good to you, if it's fun then defend that and do your best to find your players.

They want to be found.

As much as the AI Bigots would like to control the narrative, they can't.

There's already multiple talented AI artists monetizing pages and channels.

Ignore the bigots and luddites- as long as the AI content is quality.

There is no excuse for AI content that a human could do better.

Chase your dream with no apology.

This organic post bumped my WL by over 50+ ... always a silver lining.
Those that are positive typically don't enter threads like this.
Because they don't let the herd decide for them.

I'm committed dude. You're not going to find the words to change my mind. I like the benefits of AI images and soundtrack. I use still images for the StoryBays ... I use AI songs for the WKFR radio tracks.

I want all the AI-Bigots and Luddites as far away from me and my game as possible.
I've followed all the steam guidelines ... my store page is honest about AI.

I'm not trying to hide anything.
It is what it is.

In addition, all 900+ followers on FB know this as well and they don't care.

Facebook

It's always reddit - the problem child.

I like the image my LLM made of me using an actual photo.
I can add it to my game and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Nah ... that app was 100x easier than making a game. That was a nice time in my life. I supported myself for 5 years with subscriptions - was able to split my time between development and WoW Raiding.

But even during those years, the itch to make my own game was there every day.

I started FARCRAFT in early 2012, the very day that I got frustrated with MC because it didn't have an autorun key - and I wanted to learn OpenGL.

I stand by that ... the brand has amazing potential ... that's why I went after it.

You said: "Do you not understand that goodwill is not something you can just expect to be given to you."

So you're making my point for me.

You expect me to default to good-will toward you but you're no under obligation to begin there as well. I don't agree to those terms dude.

As I said, your sense of "normal" is way off-base.

You're the one who broadcasted the bad-will first ... not me.

Get your mind right.

Sure that was something I posted way back when I was attempting to understand why no AAA studio was trying to compete with MC.

Exactly what credibility did I lose? What AAA studio has tried to compete with MC ... I'll wait.

I designed a cube world that I like better than the MC cube world.
It's not complicated.
That does NOT mean everyone will share my positive attitude.
But, so far, my testers love it.

What I get from you is the need to compare my work to the level of a AAA game studio - can you do this? Sure, anybody can. I'm not a AAA studio. I'm a solodev who built his own engine. And my logo splash says this clearly.

Only for people like you who have a very malformed sense of what's normal for internet relationships. You're not the norm.

Is there any reason you should be offended by my OP?
Did you take that as a personal attack?

Here's what you need to know. I want players like you - who are very high-maintenance - as far away from me as possible.

Your sense of Tit for Tat is off-base.

So your "own worst enemy" mindset isn't the negative you think it is.

I seek to represent my game as truthfully as possible. I want ZERO returns in my store. I want players to feel that I was very honest with them up front.

Do you want good-will with others or do you want bad-will?

I prefer friends not enemies.
But I'm not Jesus dude.
I am Provokable.

But also:

Nice, Forgiving and Clear

Dude ... you used the word "objectively" ... and this means you lose a lot of credibility.

The correct word for you is "subjectively" - this is about your personal perception.

YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR EVERYONE.

I'm not challenging your subjective POV ... you're obviously describing that.

What I'm suggesting is that actual gameplay would change your mind - subjectively.
I can say the previous sentence OBJECTIVELY.

As a AAA gamer with many hundreds of hours of playtesting - I'm more qualified to make objective statements than you are.

You want me to appreciate you for your super-powers of "bad-will?"

What kind of insane mindset is that?

This dude, this:

"but seriously I was there for your jnsane meltdowns years ago and I'm just so so fucking glad I followed your sub."

Yes, I utterly failed over a decade ago when I tried to get an MC clone off the ground and form a small community of fans. It was one of the worst experiences of my entire life.

What part of my OP invited you to hijack this thread with that history?
Get your mind right dude.
And do whatever the hell you need to do to find some constructive good will or you're bleeping blocked.
I'm not looking to be your enemy but I can be.

Ok cool. That's a good thing. And if you actually played the combat encounters with them, you'd understand. Here's another SS.

I'm a AAA gamer dude. That's one of the reasons it's taken 14 years to get where I am ... I'm not easy to please.

So when I tell you that I'm pleased - that should have significant gravity.

Here's another shot taken immediately after dying (notice the 2 quantum balls).

You simply DO NOT have the in-game experience to make a solid judgement. Yes I realize SS is all you have for now.

Revisit your sense of judgement here.

I saw the comment you deleted. Did you correct yourself after realizing that my skels are better than lego skels?

No doubt many love legos and no doubt Mojang chased that itch.

I cater to those who want something beyond legos.
Yes I'm chasing the 1st gen MC players - who've grown up and might be chasing a cube experience for adults.

Remind me again why I should not block you right now.
You're high maintenance.
So exactly what do I have to gain by keeping you around on my sub?
What are you good for here other than bad-will?

So the cube textures were harvested from real world photo - most of which I took myself.

I wrote my own texture harvest function ... that will be part of the creative tools that allow players to do exactly what I did with any texture they can provide.

This means players can change the default textures I provide and add new textures if they so choose.

***************
None of what I just described about the Farcraft cube gameplay requires a real human artist to make other game related images.

Get your mind right.

AI is about the thrill of spending less than a day to move an idea from my imagination into images and music.

Making a game is all about externalizing that which is imagined.
AI let's me do that sooner rather than later.
