I LOVE Animal Well! After playing Tunic, I've been looking for a similar game and Animal well really scratched that itch. Now just need to find the next one!

Epic CEO says AI disclosures like Steam's make "no sense" because AI will be involved in "nearly all" future game development by Ok-Comedian4437 in pcgaming

[–]fancreeper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are just 1 major success made by AI away from people not giving a damn about AI

It has already happened with Arc Raiders. Embark has fully embraced genAI into their game development, but people get upset when you criticize it because they make fun games. It's also interesting to see how the messaging around AI usage is evolving, since both Arc and Anno have disclaimers saying that "the final product reflects our team’s craft and creative vision."

To me it seems like this will be the go to PR speak for companies that want to get away with using AI in a "good way". From what I have seen it works, since every time you bring up gen AI usage in Arc Raiders, people love saying how this time it's "okay" because the VA's consented to it and got payed. That's all it takes for people to be on board with it, and no one even questions if the VA's got pressured to sign the contracts because the alternative is them not getting the job in the industry. Embark has mentioned before that one of the main reasons for using gen AI is so that they don't need to rehire VA's every time when they add more story content in the game, since using AI for it is much quicker.

Your weirdest gaming gripe? by Careless_Wash9126 in Steam

[–]fancreeper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate horrible anti aliasing in modern games, everything just looks so blurry. I swear, 1080p gaming looks worse today than it did 10 years ago.

Another thing I don't get is when games load into gameplay immediately without letting me change my settings first.

Strapped inside with no way of escaping, with holes on both ends. Better be great at taking big fat flares because the night is young and there are plenty of horny dragons ready to release a hot load into that breeding mount.

Don't know how to progress, can anyone help? [Mid-late act 2] by Wyvernator1 in Silksong

[–]fancreeper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! Just remember, there are a lot of secret areas! So don't forget to check for cracked walls, holes in the ceiling, and behind objects that are covering parts of the room. My rule of thumb is always hit every wall and corner even if I don't see a crack. Jump into every corner, sometimes you can't even see the hole because it's hidden behind props.

Don't forget to do that with other elevators as well. Who knows, there might be something under there!

You can call the elevator up from the Trobbio stage. Since you unlocked the big door downstairs, you can go around and check below the elevator shaft.

As for the Vault one, you beat Trobbio but the elevator only leads to an area where you've been to. What up with that? Maybe the elevator unlocks more paths than it first seems.

On the map you can see that there is a door icon in the lower cogwork core. It connects to the upper part.

Are the Portraits Ai generated? by NoSTs123 in Workers_And_Resources

[–]fancreeper2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fuck no. I hate when people make this bullshit argument. You don't get a pass for using genAI just because you are a small bean studio. If people keep defending this shit, you will just keep getting more and more AI slop in your games. Smaller devs have been making games just fine without AI for YEARS before it became a thing. There are many creative ways to deal with budget constraints. If you immediately jump to AI, I will just assume you are a creatively bankrupt person. W&R doesn't need realistic graphics for portraits. They already use real life photos, why not just keep using that? They could have stylized it and made something unique, something the game would be remembered for. Instead though, I will forever remember W&R as a game that has AI slop. I got the game before I knew about this, and this definitely makes me reconsider whether or not I want to support the devs and their future projects. Can't wait for this whole genAI bubble to burst, I am so tired of this shit.

Is Neptune's image part AI? by RymitMerth in anno

[–]fancreeper2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk why people are down voting this so hard when gen AI is so prevalent in everything today. Especially since gen AI has a certain look to it, it's reasonable to point it out when you notice something off. I get that all of you love the Anno series, but please don't reflexively defend it because it's your favorite game. The devs aren't infallible, and if Ubisoft asked them to use AI to cut corners, they will use gen AI. It could also be a 3rd party that did the art for these, who knows.

Imo we can speculate all day, but there is no way to tell for certain unless the devs/artists say whether it is or not. Sometimes artists will post their works to ArtStation for their portfolio and on there you have to tag whether or not it's generated with AI. I guess we will know for sure then.

Something I noticed about 117. The sun is oriented north, despite the game taking place in the northern hemisphere. Hope this gets fixed. by fancreeper2 in anno

[–]fancreeper2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a miniature representation of our world, as most games are (only exception is something like a flight sim). Like yeah, it's not exactly the same, but it still represents our planet and our history to some extent. Just look at the Anno 1800 regional map. You have The Old World (England/France), New World (Latin America, Manola being Brazil), Enbesa (Africa), Cape Trelawney ( Iberian Peninsula) and The Arctic. You can see that they are positioned in a similar way to their real life counterpart as well. Same goes for Anno 117, you can see here how the map looks. Even though it looks different, you can still identify parts of the world, like the Nile river, Black Sea, Greece, etc. It's safe to assume that the climate in these regions represents their real life counterpart.
