    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    No offense, but this argument is silly, and based on what you're saying about "pay an actual artist" you have absolutely no idea whatsoever how expensive it is or how much time it takes to create genuinely good/unique assets for a game. There is a reason that by far the biggest group of people...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    I don't think you really understand how AI works, it sounds like you're talking about it from the perspective of someone who has an idea how it works but hasn't actually spent the time to use the tools and see first-hand how they work. It also seems like you don't quit understand how renpy...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    Could and should have been done by hand? Your ignorance is showing, it's pretty clear you have no concept whatsoever of what it takes to develop a game or the number of hours it requires or the breadth of different skills. Also, if I had to wager I bet you don't have the same level of...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    That's where the process and approach I'm taking is *VERY* different from anything I've seen anyone else doing. Not only do I have the art and development background, but I'm really digging deep into how AI tools work and building my toolkit up from the ground. What a lot of people don't...

    Love Interests and Realism

    Hey everyone! As I've been playing more visual novels recently something has struck me and I want to get some opinions... Why do we have so many games where every single girl just instantly falls in love with the MC and where there seems to be *ZERO* consequences for the MC to sleep with...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    I completely understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate the opinion. My approach when I started was definitely that I was going to provide a bunch of info about my world/setting and the characters to an LLM for help creating prompts that I could use to generate image sets for each...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    I've learned some pretty amazing things about prompt generation for LORA training this week that are a game-changer for consistency/efficiency, and I've pivoted a bit to a more stylized look rather than going for characters that look more photo-realistic. I'll probably post an update later...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    I do ok, but mostly I don't spend my money on much so when I do want something nice every few years I have the freedom to buy it. It definitely wasn't always that way, I worked my ass off for a decade to pay off my debts while pinching pennies and making sacrifices knowing that it would be...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    My main rig is a 9800x3d with a 5090 and 64GB of memory, all tuned and overclocked/undervolted. I also have a second computer with a 5900x and a 3090 or 5070ti I could throw in that to do less intensive stuff if I get to that point. I'm a software developer, a pretty hardcore gamer, and I've...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    That's totally fair, given what I've seen in the past year I don't blame you one bit. Honestly, until I started digging into this stuff and actually running things locally myself I would have said exactly the same thing. We will see if I can maintain this enthusiasm though, that's where...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    I get the skepticism, but frankly, most people haven't seen good AI, or rather they didn't realize they were looking at AI art. Also, keep in mind that I'm not talking about someone rigorously examining every asset, I'm talking about a casual look. Someone who sees some screenshots, takes an...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    Astral Lust, it was by a guy called Victorious IIRC. It was a bit of an odd premise, felt a little bit like a silent hill vibe, but it had a slay the spire deck building aspect to it that was neat and there were a lot of random events where you got to choose how to act that influenced your...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    This definitely isn't going to be generic, I've decided to do a "test run" by working on a re-imagining of a long abandoned game I enjoyed. I've already done a lot of tinkering with different models, workflows and have now got everything set up to train my own models and generate consistent...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    That is my thought too, on one hand the part of me that has spent thousands of hours drawing wants to hate AI, and I'm really not a fan of the half-assed slop I've seen thus far... but then there is also a part of me that has always wanted to craft an experience for players the way I used to...

    Viability of AI assets and interest in a High Quality AVN using them

    Hello everyone, this is my first thread and I'm hoping to get some opinions and feedback. It's going to be rather long, but I want to provide enough context for this to be useful. For a little background: I've been playing AVN games off and on for a very long time (think games on DVD) and...

    Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

    I guess we differ on what the meaning of "complaining" is then, because I view complaining as "man, it costs waaaaaay too many points to buy members+, it should be free or easier to get". I never once commented on the cost or said how long it should take, I just said it was frustrating and I...

    Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

    I think you're confused, I wasn't complaining. In fact, I have said at least 3 times that I *understand* the reasoning and that it's just frustrating to suddenly be on the outside. I'm just sharing my opinion on the matter, which is what forums are for. Also, just the other day when I...

    Dangit! Now how am I going to complain about how long it took me to earn the coins to buy it!

    Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

    So because I prefer to interact on discord communities and not on this forum it means that I'm not part of the community? Sounds like a pretty elitist attitude to me, like someone saying that if you don't paint your face and wear a jersey you aren't a "true fan". Also, not everyone has the...

    What a silly analogy, if you go to a football game you're part of the crowd, whether you wave a sign and scream or sit quietly in the back and watch...
