One of my favorite things ever is seeing Artists and Animators directly showing how far they have improved over time.
#Animation
is obviously first and foremost a visual thing, so seeing the growth through side by side comparisons is always so cool. And this is a great story, FUCK Sora

If Square and Disney were serious about KH4 being great they would include NYC as a world straight up. The canonical home of of Square's Parasite Eve AND Disney's Gargoyles? AYA BREA AND ELISA MAZA COULD BE COP PARTNERS, literally a perfect set up, to good for words

Both the Wall Street Journal and The Information confirming that OpenAI is killing Sora - both the app and *access to its video-generating model for developers*. This is a huge move that suggests things are a bit desperate

As an animator who had to very directly deal with an Ai “artist” using Sora on my animation WIPS to harass me, gotta say I am quite pleased, support real artists:

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

Scenes back to back don't have anything to do with each other, characters talk to Kliff as if they're waiting for him to respond and he doesn't, characters we've never met or heard of are killed off screen and that's a big deal. It's absolutely bizarre.

Some say that making a smaller game or simpler game are ways to cut down on dev time. This is also true. But if you're making a game of any size that has any sort of consistent production methodology, a good way to make everything take longer is to change standards and pipelines in production.

I dealt with tons of PC issues, but that paled in comparison to the shit I got from an AI "Artist" stalking me on Discord, trying to put my Wips into it to "fix" thankfully, he was dealt with. Cheers to all real animators, real artists.

It's worth pointing out that Resident Evil has, for a very long time now, used scans of professional models for its characters. Even if your literal job is to look photogenic, it's still not enough for genAI.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed. Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

Today is the 3rd slopiversary of us having to temporarily close submissions. The problem of "AI"-generated submissions hasn't gone away and is still a huge waste of our time. House policy remains the same:

I remember vividly the day Gooseworx posted this on tumblr and immediately thinking "Ohhh.....not sure thats gonna age well" Really sad that I ended up being correct. She deserves better and its not just TADC. Creators fundamentally can't trust there fanbases to behave on any level.

Ahead of the release of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, I want to relay something from the Q&A after the early screening I attended. There's a scene where people are shown scrolling a tik-tok-like app showing endless AI slop videos. Per Verbenski, all of them were made by human animators.
