Summer is closing in, better get those swimsuits ready
🕑 Added 2024-05-01 16:36:16 +0000 UTCQuick update on Erotica Episode 13 : ETA for release is still unsure, could be the 10th or the 15th, there is still work to do on it but I'll keep you up to date in a next post.
In other news, I'm working on a couple of demos for a next project that will become the main one after Erotica is finished. For now it's all about creating the characters and researching new features that these games will feature. These things take time and I'm working on the old PC in whatever free time I can find, after working on Erotica.
For the past months I have been messing around with AI stuff and finding ways to implement some of it into the visual aspects of games, I do have a working recipe for now, it's not yet ideal but it seems to get the job done. So, one of these demos will have this optional feature, you could play the game with or without this feature. The image above is an example of that, it has a slight AI improvement as well as postwork in photoshop. The idea is to implement it in at least 90% of the game to make it much more visually pleasing.
By the way, her name is Bonnie. Do you like what she looks? She looks even better without the swimsuit on...

The images are rendered the old fashioned way, same as all the previous games before. The AI just comes in and improves on them, making them look slightly better but enough to be noticeable. There will be before/after images to be able to tell the difference but trust me, it's there. The beach is actually where one of the demos takes place, it's not a backdrop.

The girl looks okay to me. Nothing special though. In what way and to what extent do you consider AI tweaking has improved this picture over and above the original scene then? I've obviously no way of telling what it would have looked like without the AI tweak. Or does it just make it easier and/or quicker for you to generate such a picture? To me, the girl doesn't look a part of the beach backdrop. The overall image conveys a sense, to my eyes at least, of this being a studio shot of the girl superimposed upon the beach scene. It doesn't quite blend in with its backdrop. It's probably just my eyes.

I love your games, you're the most active artist in our community. We're lucky to have you. It's great that you're already starting a new project. Regarding Bonnie, I found it very beautiful, and it was well done.
