Good afternoon Ice Frost Fox! Understandable criticism, and I agree. If anyone is interested in seeing this become a bigger & better game I’ll be mindful of those things to make it feel like a cohesive world. But for the early bird version I just wanted to give people a taste to see if there’s any interest to keep developing it. Thanks for checking it out!
I would love to put a ton of care and time into making Lood Zoo a cohesive universe full of all kinds of kinks, puzzles, humor, and a consistent feel. I’m an artist myself, yet I actually quite enjoy working stable diffusion, and realistically I’m not going to draw it all be hand. I’ve always wanted to make a game, and if stable diffusion is the thing that can help me actually do it, I’d like to do it. I’m not using any paid or online apps. I know there’s a soullessness and an inauthenticity intrinsic to AI, but also I know the worst people are definitely going to use it for the worst things. So I think it’s very fair that regular folks, especially artists, use it for fun enjoyable things. This early bird edition was made in a short time, just to see if anybody’s interested. If so, I promise to be mindful of how the style consistency affects the immersion, and keep delivering with every update. Thanks for checking out the early bird edition of the game. That’s valid criticism, and noted! May your trails be healthy, furry and in no hurry!
Can't you just take the concept art, put it into a prompt and then just draw/ somewhat trace whatever the stable-diffusion generates? I understand where you're coming from, stable diffusion is just quicker to use. And yeah, AI "art" feels soulless, but I'm sure you could just replace it one by one with your art. Take lustful desires as an example, that game wasn't made in a few days, making everything by hand would take alot of time. Look at all the games with mediocre looking art, people are still interested in them.
Sorry if this feels like gibberish, english just isn't my first language.
it’s cool, I appreciate you taking to me like a person and not just attacking me.
How most of this has been done so far is I draw an ms paint style sketch and then run it through stable diffusion, and then edit the results. I know a lot of folks don’t like that. But the thing is, I find it fun!
And part of what I also enjoy is the writing which is not AI. Right now there’s not much writing in the game because this is very very early work. But I have fun ideas such as there will be dog police that for some reason the cows can’t see, and you will choose to team up with the dogs or send them to the milking chamber. I find that funny. So even if it’s just a silly game for laughs I think it’s okay to keep working on and sharing. And if by a miracle enough people supported it then I would start hand drawing and hire others to help redo the whole thing by hand. But right now I’m just a dude making this for fun in my spare time. I’ve always enjoyed perverted video games and always wanted to make one, and in this moment this is the only way I’m able. But that could change!
Anyhow, I resist your opinion, and most of all I respect you for talking to me without going straight to bashing and blasting me! Have an excellent day and here’s to art that beautiful and soulful and skilled, as well as lousy trashy AI assisted projrcts that are only for fun!
