You like that it tastes like poop?

If these were the eq luclin models and art i wouldn't have a burning hate for luclin. more polygons doesn't make it better. yes i do like that it looks like it can run on a computer from 2008. Also the art will be more memorable on avg, in the MEMORIES game. I really don't like high poly count models, never did, they might have more detail or polish but your brain don't care in the long run.

lower polygon counts rely on strong, readable silhouettes rather than relying on photorealistic micro-details. Because of this, low-poly designs offer a highly distinct, iconic aesthetic that often feels more memorable than hyper-realistic models

Gotta get a few more boss details added here, I haven't poopsocked this yet but I'm trying to make sure there is 0 barrier to entry at the end game for anyone wondering about world bosses:


If you got the strats post them LOL.

Salt harvesting is gunna be epic in this game as "Uber guilds" have all their "strats" leaked. Item camps aren't really gunna be an issue if what we have is 20% of the game and they are adding another 20% on EA.

Made it so you can link items from the wiki in-game too (as long as people out in the itemID's).

People have been harassed and kicked out of guilds for posting shit to the Wiki lmao

Good lord can't wait for this game to "launch" so I can read all the retarded drama from 50 year old losers

FOH boards are tame compared to the real poopsockers.

What I don’t understand is can’t you literally just use ai to make char models with some prompting, that would be better. Like draw something decent and then tell Claude go turn this into a 3d model in blender and add some animations too
I kinda lost interest in content generation since people seem to universally hate it, but last time I looked about all AI would help with was texturing and a little bit of animation tweening maybe? Flobee Flobee has been trying that out I think.

Characters are still very much a black art, and the east has kept secrets for decades though those are beginning to leak over here. Some of the gacha games have been releasing their models and they are full of fantastic eastern sorcery.

I'd really be amazed if any AI could poop out good characters. Or really, any decently meaty game development code task.

I've seen AI characters that come out pretty good... at least from a screenshot or static perspective. The topology is usually a bit suspect but its honestly not all that bad if you were just throwing something together. I think the biggest issue would be getting AI to present a workable base, something you can alter and add to as needed. Sure it can spit out a full character, but will it let you make a new outfit for the character without adding or removing stuff you don't want? Can you maintain a consistent style across various assets? I dunno, I haven't dug into it a ton.

Most useful AI stuff I've found for character art is actually concept art. You can upload a SS of your model and have the AI do concept art for various styles of armor and it works pretty well. Once you've got that concept you're happy with its not a huge chore to model and texture it yourself. I'll spoiler a few I had mocked up for my guy. It matched the model surprisingly well. Would you do this if you had an actual artist? No, probably not. But for a solo or small team, yea its hugely helpful.

The only decent AI usage in animations that I'm aware of is Cascadeur - the easiest way to animate AI-assisted keyframe animation software which is pretty fantastic honestly, and its just using AI to help smooth animations and "in-between" poses to interpolate between them which is a huge time saver. MNM team is using this.

For MNM I just don't think most of this would be useful though. They have the resources to make exactly what they want and that's what they're doing. Its a matter of taste whether you like it or not.

Ain’t no way I’m going to those links 75% chance it’s a lemon party or tub girl situation IMO
