aren't you tired of being nice? don't you just want to go apeshit?

there's words for people who use AI instead of hiring artists and I'm not allowed to use them here, but i hope they know i'll see them in the northern territory

A.I. Generation and RMN

To be quite honest, I think taking a reasonably hard stance on AI at this juncture is extremely important in the currently-evolving landscape.
Take one look at the 'New' assets tab on Itch.io. It is flooded with feculent, regurgitated garbage-- barely edited generations asking for ACTUAL MONEY, many deliberately obfuscating their use of AI.

If RMN does not take this stance now, this is what will happen. It was ALREADY happening.

The argument for AI as a tool is an important one but in the current climate it barely matters. You have innumerable companies firing under the guise of AI replacement (when in reality its most likely general layoffs), you have pages of information being tainted due to AI search, Itch.io's asset page is unusable, and there are many, many planned class action lawsuits regarding these AI engines, ranging from the fact they contain medical data to the fact there was no permission gained for these datasets.

Eventually the landscape will change. In what direction, we don't really know.

This rule isn't about enemy AI or the photoshop healing tool or the proofreading AI injections coming into writing software. Look at the itch.io new assets page. That is what this rule is for. To avoid that.

Fragment's pretty fun

there's no squallbutts tho, so that's a little disappointing

haven't finalized his actual design, so i tested out his posing with the original one. close enough?

What are you thinking about right now?

Wow i wish i hadn't browsed the last page now, I'm super-mega hungry.

Australia doesn't really have a 'cuisine', it's just a hodge-podge. I don't really care though, because I cook my own food with stuff I like :)

Been working on the Fighter Class character. I'm just not sure what to do with his head/hair
Not sure if I should put a leather cap on or just a spiky hairstyle


You could probably cut back on the dither and increase the contrast (go more toward the red end of the slider for the darker hues). Right now the similarity of the tones and the dither make it look pillow shaded.

i gave it a bit of a fiddle so you can see what i mean:



by no means is this perfect (and fiddling is hard when it's upscaled like this) but hopefully you get what I mean.

also you have every right to use all 16 colours but in sprites this size you really don't need to.

What are you thinking about right now?

All of them. Caz has all the waifus.

Sorry about that Puddor, I didn't know you were a woman, and now my comment looks awkward haha. So you're from Australia like Liberty too? You two know each other personally?

Also I guess the timing is pretty bizarre, but maybe I'm psychic!?



I wouldn't call myself a woman -points at RM profile- (or better put, I don't these days.)

Anyway, we've never met face-to-face, but I know a big bunch of prolific RMNers and RM game devs, I guess you could say? We've spent a lot of time in chats. I sent Marimo tim tams. 'Nuff said.

Damn gurl dat timing yo. How's things?


Things are good! Been kickin' around tumblr and Discord, mostly, but I got the game dev bug back proper about a week ago. Been working on stuff haphazardly before now, though.
