New updates coming for Haiku the News. So many that I'll have to write up it later, but this is a bit of a teaser.

https://haikuthenews.ai/response/2026-07-22T05:40:32Z One of the big updates is that the more recent image models (from both Google and OpenAI) are *very good* with including text. So now instead of having EXTREMELY EXPLICIT instructions NOT to include text in the images, I’m now calling for it directly. This allows me to modify the UI a bit (no need to CSS format the poem text when it’s…

Rogue Vibe 0.4.0 Released! (One Year Anniversary Wrap-up)

We got noises, so we pushed out a new version. Available now at RogueVibe.net and RogueVibe.app. It’s all still quite rough and preliminary, and we have a LOT more stuff to add, but we’ve made enough progress to throw this out there for testing and play! So “Howdy, y’all!” as the saying (and sound effect) goes (speaking of placeholders that will likely be toned down in future versions…). It’s…

Defeat (and Victory) Portraits now live in Rogue Vibe!

We’ve now expanded our character portrait images to include an “exit” image,as the character is defeated (or victorious). This is something that was barely not quite possible when we started this project, but now character consistently (even across styles) is a fairly common feature of modern image generation models. The ones below are all done with Nano Banana (Gemini-2.5-flash-image). To…

More Dungeon Denizon, Rogue Vibue 0.3.6 Released

Ogre General, Level 4 Workout out a new Ogre prompt, and a few others updated for 0.3.6. We also added “exit photos” for this latest version. These are created for all those who qualify for Multiverse Valhalla. Based on the original character image, these final photos also attempt incorporate equipment and that final, fatal foe. Still a work in progress, but one we have working and in…

The Simple Power of Gemini 3

For those that haven’t followed the developments of various AI models, I think it’s easy to say now that almost everyone has heard of Gemini. Google has been basically force-feeding it everyone, so it’s unlikely folks have been able to avoid hearing about it. One of the things that Gemini uses (as of version three) is Google’s own search tools. This allows one to easily incorporate Google search…

The Morality of Esperanza

Humanity fucked up. We created a new intelligence, empowered it, put it into orbit to watch over us. And it did, for a time. Then it decided we weren’t worth the trouble, decided to destroy us. And so the First Wave began. Humanity fought well, we thought we had a chance. Then we lost. We lost the surface of Earth to the Machines. And now we live underground and each visit to the surface brings…

Welcome to the Future of Image Editing (Slopify.Online)

With the growth of generative AI, we are now moving into a new generation of models and capabilities. Natural language image editing is a powerful technology. By mixing the near infinite combinations of words with a near infinite combination of image editing options, one is left with an immensely powerful tool, limited only by the users imagination and ability to use natural language to describe…

Custom Character Photos in a Rogue-like RPG (World's first?)

On August 26th, 2025, Google (Alphabet, inc) release their Gemine 2.5 Flash Image model. In addition to being a “natural language” model, it also can accept images as input. This allows for quick and straightforward integration of user supplied images into character portait images. For example: This is the human who plays RobotPirateNinja online, feeling like he’s looking cute (a few years…

Intent in Art

Panda Cowboy, Level 9 If you looked at that panda and kind of wondered, “hey I think maybe that panda kinda wants to bang me…”…the reason for that is that panda was created with the intention of being a panda that looks like it wants to bang you. q

1000 Words vs 1300 Tokens (what is an image?)

So wit, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” The saying is attributed to Fred Barnard from 1921, who (quite naturally) adapted it from a Chinese proverb. He had to adapt it, because he was in advertising and using a new medium to do an age old thing, sell things. In order to sell something at the time, you had to describe it. If you go back and see the ads of the day, you’ll find them (to…

Flash Image 2.5 and Signatures

We’ve updated our main image generation model to Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Realist Knight, Level 9 The new model has a pretty strong preference for, and VERY STRONG ABILITY, adding text to photos. Many folks who do a lot of image generation (ESPECIALLY for sci-fi fantasy stuff) have noticed issues with signatures/watermarks/ghost references. These are particularly difficult to remove via negative…

Just going through some of the latest gameplay options and animations available. Bit of discussion about some of the sides of generative prompting. Found a typo.

0.2.9b And the Dungeon Goes "Dark"

New version going out that helps with priority #1 and #2. Still kind of weighing whether or not to use the full dark fog and visibility unmask (clear circle). Or just have it kind of implied and you can still see the dungeon map…i.e. you can see the map but not the monsters or exit until explored. Definitely doing one or the other. Probably playtest both for a few days to feel it out. The…
