well because they are, it's trained on artists who never agreed of their work to be used. It's also soulless as fuck. At least I'm glad he talks about the fact that this could be a tool to spark imagination, brainstorm, or even train your own work. This is also the way I think about this tool.
@@michaelvicente5365 yeah exactly, it was fun to use but I honestly felt its best to get more from my own work, like if I draw 10 enemy types I can use it to mash them up so that I get more for free, I can't see me ever using this with other people's art, one thing I did try is creating a game cover like a movie poster, that was great it came up with some really good compositions that I can use as inspiration for my game cover
@@JayRKID yes its called Dreambooth, it even works with 3 to 5 samples. I would recommend much more samples though because generally dreambooth is used to train Objects (People, unusual shapes, etc.) Instead of Styles. Depending on how tech savvy you are, using it could seem a little bit complicated. But there are many tutorials now on how to get started with it. Alternatively you can use Stable Diffusions Image to Text feature, which basicly takes an input image, and tells you the prompt the Model thinks, has been used to generate it. Since you are giving it your own Image , it will come up with a prompt you can use to generate images similar to it. If your Artstyle is unique enough, you might even find the name of an Artist with modifications to the style in the prompt. If your Artstyle is not distinguishable enough from the artists, it will most likely just give you a generic description.
This just solved my biggest problem with solo game developing. I'm not completely unable to create animation and art, but I was always forced to give up or massively reduce expactations on a lot of project after I had the code, the music and everything but I had to slave and try to draw something good looking for weeks with no success. This won't solve it 100% but it will solve it at least 80%, now if you only work with low bit artwork I dont think it's that hard to edit moves to already existing pixelart. I'm glad to see this working and kinda understand the frustrated artists.
@@desadesa SV was, but it took him a long time and is very close to original harvest moon games, meaning he started out knowing most of what the end goal was which saves a bunch of time and isn't the case with a lot of projects.
As an artist and solo game dev, I'm not impressed, I have a very clear image of how I want my sprites to look, mid journey and gens alike never managed to accomplish that vision, not even to the point where I could just manipulate the rest in PS
Love it! This will massively reduce the dependency on game artists to create assets, or even make them completely obsolete, as soon as these tools are able to generate 3D Models, and even Animations.
Never gonna happen. Ai is directly rellient on artist to even survive, so if artists are absolete ai will nerf itself by reusing the same images over and over and become absolete.
@@radudancoroian5169 Then it will just get updated with new images that will have been created by a far smaller amount of artists. Maybe they won't become completely obsolete, but the amount of "artists"(which are really just craftsmen, not artists, that's what they actually are) necessary for a project will become much, much smaller.
You can do all this and more with a local Stable Diffusion. 🤓 There's already three pixel art models available. 😆 The SD Pixel Art Sprite Sheet Generator model makes walking RPG style sprites.
AI just saved us between 5~50 hours of having to draw images like these depending on our skills, experience, number and complexity of the sprites. I for one welcome our new AI overlords
I think AI has the potential to be a great asset to indie developers. I'm looking forward to when AI can consistently reuse its own images and I'd personally like to experiment with creating a graphic novel one day.
Lmao the end of human effort is here. People will write their stories entirely by AI. No soul, no passion, no craft. Just a product of algorithms. Those who are celebrating this will have their jobs taken away by it. Crappy times ahead.
I don't think it's legal to use these directly in the game, as the base resource from midjourney is real artists resources that are copyrighted; it's legal to take inspiration from though.
@@radudancoroian5169 nope because it’s just inspiration, if you put the same Tree, the same sun etc, then yes,they can sue you but if you just do an art with the same style then no they can’t.
In fact, artificial intelligence can build video game assets such as textures and model designs, hence speeding the creation process. Improve your game using AI-generated images for greater efficiency and originality!
midjourney was great the first half of paying for it, then it got lazy despite using the same well crafted prompts. this was last year, so maybe it will be a better experience for me if i try again, but i noticed it was very inconsistent. sometimes this string of prompts got me what i wanted, other times, more often than not in the last half of renders i paid for it spit up garbage.
I'm using Dream by Wombo to create 2D video game assets art, and I think I'm the only one using Dream by Wombo for making 2D video game art. This is because I see no TH-cam videos using Dream by Wombo for making 2D video game art.

I would be very carefully with 'AI generated' images, cause often 'AI' copies from human made (copyrighted) images. Another prob may be, that a court in US already decided you can't get a copyright on AI generated work, like you can't get copyrights of a chimpanzees work. But ok, if you make your game CC0 and free, it might be do able.
Hello, from the Sub-100 Club! I am very interested in seeing how you plan on using these AI-Generated Assets in the future. My question is one of refinement. At [07:13] you noted that touch up were required to truly get a proper representation of what you'd want. However, I ask if the models are distinct enough that you can design four-way isometric views for each instance? If I plan on using the tool in the future, I don't want to be in a situation where I have to keep AI generating the same sample for all the tools necessary for a Game Jam. Thank you!
AI diffusion is only good as its database; in other words it’s reference. For non-professionals, it is good enough, but for professionals there is required to refine it, if not more, before use. At worse it is pulling out pictures that are there to fill the task, based on its reference. At best, it’s inspiration and/or time saver in the brain storming stage of creativity. However, I wouldn’t call it by itself original works by themselves, as they are quite derivative.
I feel like this is unsatisfying unless you could have an ai program where you input YOUR own work and have it spit out more of it. Otherwise, it’s not really creating stuff I created myself or expanding upon my own stuff. If everything is made in ai from scratch and not based on the devs own design/style I won’t want to play those games and I expect them to eventually tell you that it’s been made entirely in ai or with the assistance of ai…or so I hope.
Well, you can't. You can try to tell the ai to make animations but they will almost guaranteed not look similar enough to make smooth looking animations. At least for now. This is only useful for playing around or creating some static assets.
AI remixes content. If the content is copyrighted and artists win the class action lawsuit against AI art piracy, a remixed content could breach copyright. The best is to take ideas from AI generated content, but make your own art yourself. If AI companies win, judges would be legalizing content piracy using AI. Unlike a ZIP file that encodes content inside a file, AI encodes the content inside neural network coefficients.
I take it you haven't made or even seen a real sprite sheet before? I can assure you that them generations are no good for animating a 2D sprite. Although, I can't deny that this is good for generating inspiration and could use some of it as background and static assets.
Everything. The Matrix will engulf us all in its tentacles and there's nothing you can do. You can't stop technology. We're going to end up as little more than pets.
And this, gentlemen, is how to violate all copyright rules. AI copies, does not create, in addition to promoting laziness and mediocrity. And if you don't have a talent for 2d/3d art, hire an artist or learn.
Use AI art, saves time. It's the future! Can't wait for it to become so sophisticated that you can't even detect the copyright infringement or copies. Many hungry artists, sad but it's the price of progress. Maybe artists should just learn to code. Lol
Games do not need "real art", they thrive on mediocrity. Look at the games that are populor. Do you think that any of those assets that are in them are so unique that they cannot be done using an automated tool? It it the same generic sci-fi, fantasy, modern military stuff over and over again. And what AI can do right now is just the beginning.
You better get used to it, because it's the future. I do not like it, there's no actual craft, no effort, no soul, a machine will be able to write an entire story and draw, no actual craft nor merit. But it is the future.
Invoke AI is also really good for modifying parts of an image using AI. You could highlight a region of background art and type "post apocalyptic door" and it'll do it. It's called In Painting
