What is your game called? It looks cool and i wanna learn more about it

For now it's called Cablepunk, but the project file and the name me and @linlemonade originally came up with is Thighborg. We were completely hammered when we thought it up, to be fair.

So, the elevator pitch for the game goes like this: "Figure skating on angle grinders. Hyperviolence."

It's a Character Action/Musou hybrid set in a post-post apocalypse biopunk setting in a megastructure. We're going for a PS2 era Digital Apocalypse aesthetic and plan to combine the exaggerated violence with melancholic and liminal feel of Serial Experiments Lain.

Are you still drawing bugs, sorry if this is offensive

Occasionally I sketch them, but I'm mostly busy with gamedev nowadays

Are you okay

Developing something c:

it is really sad to see a talented artist encourage the use of gen ai. It's use is literally destroying artists livelyhoods, it's ruining the scene of art. Fuck the artists who works were non-consensually put into the generators i guess. Fuck using your brain, just consume don't think about it, smooth baby brain, what would be the point.

If you're experiencing signs of a stroke, which you seem to be, please contact emergency services.

Hey slug, How ARE you?

Uh

Just want to stay, that i love Your anthro bugs(Insects), especially mothra.

Also...

I tried to make a race of humanoid insects, but I ended up failing, because I don't know how to draw... =/. Sorry for interrupting you

I'm alive, which I think is pretty good Waiting to fall back in love with my own bugs, which is why I've been quiet on here lately. And you don't really need to know how to draw to come up with fictional races, writers do it all the time. I encourage you to take another stab at doing it

so like I know this is a ridiculously complicated and difficult thing to pull off so I obviously can't expect you to just give me a full tutorial or something, but do you think you could give me some pointers on how to get started training my own ai?

The software you should research is called KohyaSS, and the best kind of model to practice training on is a LoRA. Basically an add-on to a base model that adds a new style or concepts.

I haven't trained anything new in a few months, so my recommendations are most likely very outdated. I heard that OneTrainer is a more user friendly alternative to Kohya, but I haven't tried it myself.

Just one thing before you start training though, make sure you understand basic AI techniques before trying to jump into making your own model. Checkpoints, denoising, seeds, controlnets, LoRA, IP adapters, upscaling etc. InvokeAI is a good interface to practice with and their tutorials are good. Free to run too.
