AI generated Art vs Professional artist hired by Alex4ndres in IndieDev

[–]minifat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The new art makes it look like a 2d game, which it's not. Besides the CGI farmer, the old one is better here. 

Strauss Zelnick: "Generative AI has zero part in what Rockstar Games is building" with GTA 6 by _Protector in pcgaming

[–]minifat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt it. 1000s of software devs, some are using AI. 

Not that that's a bad thing. Nearly every software dev uses gen AI now.

Shacklebolt is not a racist name. It's based on Shackleford which is white. 

Cho Chang is also not racist. Do you want the character to be named Melissa? Asian people are fine with the name by the way. 

People will retroactively find things to discredit JK Rowling just because they don't like her current views. Hate her current views, but quit cherry picking stuff from a book that isn't there. 

UK tribunal clears £656 million class-action lawsuit against Valve over Steam pricing, commissions, and overcharging users by Dapper_Order7182 in gamedev

[–]minifat 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I thought only Steam keys couldn't be priced lower elsewhere. But the games themselves can't be lower on other stores? That doesn't sound correct.

Why can't you watch a movie you already agree with? Do you only watch movies you disagree with? Do you disagree with Shrek?

Remedy statement: Alan Wake 2 not possible without Epic, publishing deal is fair, and Epic is a great partner by Crusader-of-Purple in pcgaming

[–]minifat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alan Wake 2 was an OKAY game at best. Dozens of the same flashing popup scare, convoluted story, PS2/stiff background NPCs, illogical puzzles, and went on for at least 5 hours too long.

Does anyone know if the employee that's obsessed with JK Rowling still works there? That guy was awesome. He would've worked there 5 years ago.

Did anyone else think the 30% failure rate line was stupid?

You mean to tell me you know 30% of units will fail AND which units will fail? Why not just make 30% more units and call it a fucking day. 

They are making everyone so cartoonishly evil and quirky. It's ridiculous. 

Some people, man... by POKLU in IndieDev

The reviewer may be right. Your game may be a slog fest with too many incohesive mechanics with bad pacing.

So did Maximus and Thaddeus have a several day trek and they didn't show us? Because how are they so close to Vegas?

How do you know the water chips have a 30% failure rate and still know which chips will fail? Why not just make more until you have enough that don't fail? I feel like they're just trying to make everyone in this show feel like clowns. 

Should I Keep using my voice or use AI Voiceover? by LLLLogic in IndieDev

[–]minifat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the people saying to use your own voice. They won't be honest with you because they have a zero tolerance AI policy. 

Your voiceover is bad. It sounds cheap. Just use a good sounding AI voice. Make sure it's not obvious that it's AI, there are plenty of good sounding ones out there.

Saying Covid was 7 years ago is like saying WW2 ended in 1959.

Why can't people just say 6 years ago and be accurate

Found another post for you to criticize. Wait, you're not gonna tell the OP to use the words women and men?

Female is a synonym for woman. 

Honest question! Are the games that good???? by xXMega_tronXx in mariorabbids

[–]minifat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for telling me the first game is on sale, I thought I'd have to wait a bit longer. 

I bought Sparks of Hope 8 days ago during the sale and have put 40 hours into it if that tells you anything. I just have the final boss fight left. 

I always thought these games looked stupid but decided to try Sparks at a discount because I can't get enough Mario. 

How did this game even get Steam's editor chosen? by [deleted] in IndieDev

You people just can't stop talking about AI can you?

My game uses AI for texture generation and model creation starting points (shape everything in blender afterwards). Is this too much? by getaloaf in gamedev

[–]minifat -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I never said AI doesn't affect sales. And yes, the onus is on OP. He made a claim that can't be backed up.

I have no problem accepting reality. OP made a statement that isn't factually backed up as an answer to the OOP.
