discussion AI Unity Hand Drawn Taffy Tales [S2 Redux v1.0.36] [UberPie]

[madridista wak]

So only really updates to the NTR path? After so long? Damn, that sucks. I really enjoy the harem path of this game, but it feels like the dev hit a wall or got creator's block or something at some point and just stopped, cause I feel like it's been years since there's been any meaningful updates to the game, after what seemed like a decent pace of content for the first few years. At this point I'm just waiting for it to be completed so I can play the whole thing start to finish since I keep forgetting everything that's happened by the time they release any updates to route I care about. Honestly feels weird that they built SO much of the harem route but didn't finish it and then went and started doing the NTR route, instead of either going all-in on one and then the other, or splitting evenly between the two, but who am I to judge a dev for how they make their game. Hopefully the harem route gets completed sometime in the next few years, at least.
Yeah, in the latest update, ther's AI. It's pretty good at replicating the artists style, but you can tell which are and aren't. I'm more surprised it got thrown off of patreon after being on for so long, seem to be really clamping done on anything adult now.

Really not hyped about the AI art. Kinda ruins my interest.

It's not NTR.
MC don't have sex anymore, don't have sexual pleasure, lick some sperm. IT's humiliation with homosexuality, call it as you want, but not NTR.

Loved that game. Lot of fetishes and so on.

Taffy is here ! Taffy is here ! Great Game with some bugs unfortunatly

 

[Zunjaya]

Sad to hear about the IA thing, I'm in a rerun to see what it has become but I don't enjoy it as much.

 

[Chthonian]

Wait this game now uses AI art?
Man this garbage game only manages to get worse, I'm so thankful I have always hated the game/dev.

A few months ago, the developers reworked the game in terms of graphics. On *95* they kept the old version (before the redesign, and probably they did it right), but here the game is posted only in the new form.
The game is far from being a masterpiece, but it has its own army of fans. But in any case, it is no longer “hand drawn”.

Oh, wait, did they redo the whole game with AI art?
Or is only the new art AI, and the previous is still hand drawn?

Yes, version presented here is completely redone game.
I laughed at the comment on *95* (I'll tell you right away that I've touched this game for two years, I can't confirm or deny this information):

Based upon the body types being created - it is apparent to many, including myself, that what has happened is that Uberpie has fed an AI resident on his computer all of his previous artwork in order to train the AI to generate images that appear to be similar to Uberpie's previous work. The three anuses, the multiple fingers, the extra knee caps, the odd arms, the bulging odd multiple fat pockets along the body parts are exactly evidence that he is not sketching and then have the AI generate the art within the lines. Also, the great divergence from the character models, themselves, from when they were handrawn/traced by Uberpie (even when compared to his inability to remain on model in his own drawing endeavors) is also evidence which contradicts the idea that Uberpie is sketching first.
It is obvious Uberpie does little-to-nothing to refine the art after it is generated by the AI (hence the three anuses, the extra digits, multiple kneecaps, odd fat deposits and other body dysmorphisms, as well as the complete loss of model consistency when compared to previous work). This lines up with his lack of attention to detail in earlier releases with codework, text proofreading, etc which is only amplified now.
For some, they do not care at the level presented. For others, it is distasteful. I am in the latter group.

It's a true shame that Uberpie is resorting to using AI and not even cleaning it up. I understand the rationale that it would speed up development, but the multiple butholes, extra fingers and full body FUPAs are really killing the charm.

Yeah, just a little more info (I had to go through dozens of pages discussing the game on *95*, and there are over 1600(!)b to get an idea of what's going on. Again, I have no interest in this game for a long time, but the story of how a once very popular project was ruined is instructive.
So, in the summer of 2023, the developer decided to divide all previously published content into “seasons”. A total of 4 seasons. And rework them with the prospect of placement on Steam. In parallel, work was going on season 5, which is presented here and which is a sample of AI graphics. AI was supposed to speed up game development (it didn't work out as usual). Now it seems to be in the final stages of getting the redesigned Season 1 ready for publication. When? The timeframe is July to September, or maybe later.
With 3 more seasons to be prepared, the situation repeats the history of the “technical” update of Summertime Saga in a grotesque way.
Why the content of the game before the revision (the same 4 seasons, but without AI) was removed here is beyond my comprehension. Those who wish to download that version - please contact a competing resource known to all.
As I realized, there are quite a lot of fans of this project here and maybe the moderators of this thread will consider posting here the previous version of the game (v0.89.8c)?

Thanks for this bunch of data. Didn't know the recent updates.

 

[Jalim Rabei]

Man, waited a while for a update and when they do it they change the whole game to AI

 

[lomegalul]

Such a shame how this one turned out, was one of my favorites for the longest time

 

[mrrapturous]

My excitement at finally seeing Taffy Tales appear in a list like this was immediately gone when I realised what the updated entailed. I thought I'd just lost track of this but it turns out it's just not had great updates for a long time.

 

[Showtime]

The last time I played, there were practically no spicy scenes. I hope that, after so much, that has changed a little, but from what I have read in the forum it has not gone in the best direction. It will be a matter of trying the game one more time.
