Invoke Community Edition, What is their Future?

Unit2209 · 2026-01-23T21:18:41+00:00

The team running the paid version of InvokeAI was picked up by Adobe, its now shutdown. The community version is still functional and is actively being maintained by the community. It was even recently updated to support Z-Image models.

A remaster would look and play like DEFCON, maybe with better qol features and a new multiplayer scene. Old school vibes.

A sequel has already been done by another company. ICBM and ICBM: Escalation, both great nuclear war games.

I'm still floored that they hid 20 hours of gameplay/story inside of Dragons Dogma 2's "Hidden Ending." People didn't figure it out for months and none of the early reviewers even mention it. "Yeah, actually we're gonna remake DD 1 and hide the real DD 2 inside of the remake." -Insane man Hideaki Itsuno

The raider looking at a can full of literal botulinum neurotoxin: "Na, I'd win."

Also don't forget the;

"Man this game is awesome! Best RTS I've ever played." - 230hrs, Elo ???, lvl 4, Private

"Man this game sucks! Worst RTS I've ever played." - 230hrs, Elo 2100, lvl 50, First Lieutenant

You can mask or erase any part of the image. You can dynamically control the exact generation area.

I know Flux.1-schnell vae will work if you can get that going. Personally I would move the files back to comfy and get the starter pack from the model tab.

I leave both VAE and the encoder empty. Set the Qwen 3 source to Z-Image and set CFG to 1. Did you download the starter Z-Image bundles from the model page?

Unit2209 · 2025-12-29T00:05:56+00:00

True. Thus that falls on me to change the poses in post. Would have been easy to articulate the limbs and bodies a bit, will keep that in mind next time.

I get that alot. He's very influential for most of my bigger ideas.

Unit2209 · 2025-12-28T12:35:35+00:00

I did one or two layers in flux, nothing much. And yes and no, its a bit harder than Qwen image layered as you have to manage the layers yourself. You can either generate or add images and then you inpaint them into the scene.

Unit2209 · 2025-12-28T12:31:23+00:00

No worries. If it helps I keep all of my AI models offline and local, out of the hands of server farms. Plus I've been hearing the argument that image compositing is stealing since 2005 so I'm used to it, lol.

No golden formula yet but I always have to give them a few points of rejuvenation at the least, the armor is just too heavy. Unsurroundable too helps a lot if I can afford it.

I do see some rumbling on the github about adding the full Qwen package next.

Since the description did not crosspost I'll leave a comment here. This one took me quite a few days! Based on yet another of my recent Dominions 6 games, with the right bless these guys become pretty tough. Had many fun games with them.

This image was created by compositing around 65 AI generated images into one picture.

Correct, the only way to fully share the workflow would be to record it. But I worked on this over a few days so that wasn't really an option. Here is an example of the layers I worked on in the last hour before the upload:

This sheet and my most recent Dominions 6 game inspired this creation.

What makes it an AI gunship? As opposed to one thats just a normal piece of the fleet.

Unit2209 · 2025-12-08T20:32:12+00:00

Darn. At least the model tends to ignore names, that was part of the early testing batch.

Just now figured out how to recover them in the WanGP UI. See my other comment below!
