This game.
to keep it simple its gonna be a modern side scrolling beat em up. set in my town, as we are feral as fuck. placing this here for accountability, so i actually do it, currently making assests, ive managed to convince chat gpt to convert photos to pixel art quite nicely, then ill move on to character sprites, we will be using godot 4
as always, if you would like to dig out the crayons and help, please feel free 
Itās outta my league, but I just wanted to let you know, Team Cherry was only like 3 people.
It will take time but im sure i can do this solo. (Unless anyone wants to help.) Ive found a comprehensive tutorial on the game style im making. I just need to redraw the assets. And theres lots of emā¦
Ill make it so
If u upload a photo to chat gpt and use the promt āhd pixel artā you may get more of a resembalance. Takes a while. But giv it a try.
Now all you need to do is scrape through the old Ted Talk videos and the youtube channel for audio samples. Run 'em through Piper to get a TTS file and you can have him say whatever you want in game.
Ah hell Iāll record voiceover lines easy peasy
1st 3 background images generated so far. Im getting 1 or 2 images a day before the limit gets meā¦ But ive very happy with the quality so far. I have about 60 images to do for the first level/demoā¦
Half baked idea incoming.
Could you load stable diffusion on a pc at your place? Then you could skip the limits??
Please elaborate. Ive never seen those words in that order befor.
Oh shit ill look into this. Other aiās dont produce what im looking forā¦ i have tried gemini. Ill give this a go tomorow
I fucking love this sentence. I will be stealing it for future use.
I feel bad for pixel artists, but that AI is making some good pixel art. I donāt think Iāve ever been this impressed by a generative modelās output. Iām running out of excuses not to take a go at a game or two Iāve had in mind.
Are you redrawing those backgrounds? Characters?
wellā¦ i found a full 20 part tutorial . im hoping to follow the tutorial copy the code and just change the assets. and make it like 1600 x 900 pixels. so semi hd for a pixelated game, ( bit like streets of rage 4)
so the backgrounds come from converted photos. and will need to be stuck togeather to make a games backdrop. probibly in gimp. level one is about 70 photos, ( covers 1.2 irl miles) and ill propibly have to redraw the sprite sheets , but ill just chop up one of the concept art pics and make it follow the original sprite sheets, ( i may add more fraims for fluid movement)
as we all know i like to jump balls deep into things i have no prior experience of. ill either sink or sore.!
luckily i can stand on the shoulders of giantsā¦ i hope to get level 1/ demo out by Xmas,
im gona try play with ai image to animationā¦ see if i can get some basic walk punk kick animationsā¦ then i can just turn that back into sprite frames
Oh! I havenāt seen generative models produce consistent enough results to combine back together into one piece, but if you animation transfer to a single sprite and then chop out just the frames you want, now that could work.
Your dive-in-and-do attitude continues to inspire me.
you flatter me fellow human. the walk animation has useable fraims. the otheres became ungodly abominations very quickly.
