The only reason this can generate images like these is because artists previously created artwork like this. And then in return they get:
> you don't need to high an artist or animator to develop you game.
Unless you created all the training material yourself, any model like this is highly unethical, in my opinion.
I hate this. It's cool that it's possible, but I hate it. Generating art solves no real problem and only suppresses a struggling profession without which this wouldn't even be possible...
It definitely does solve a problem. This tool provides affordable custom sprites with fast delivery.
If it didn't solve any problem there would be zero demand for it and no reason for you to care about it.
It’s sad how the existing corpus of artists’ works are being used against them. The only reason this can generate images like these is because artists previously created artwork like this.

I can’t ask a anyone that claims to be a pixel artist for sprites because the chance of getting garbage is just too high.
Btw, if anyone does know someone good, I’m open to paying xD
All AI tools I've tried have failed to generate animations for slimes in my experiments. (Including Veo3) I'm hesitant to even try this, any chance it would work?

Unless you didn’t want people to see and use it, maybe you shouldn’t have made it public? I don’t think training AI is fundamentally different from humans learning from things they see, and we don’t restrict that either.
Computers have no such limitation and can consume almost the entirety of a subject’s work in a few weeks or months. I think that alone is enough to say that yes, it is fundamentally different.
I’d love to hear a bit about the ML side of things: what was your experience with various models? Do you see a clear cost vs quality tradeoff with current state of the art models? How do open vs closed models compare?

2. Making something public isn’t always a choice made by the creator
3. Making something public does not denote fair use, this is why copyright (albeit arguably a poor solution) exists
4. These LLMs consolidate wealth into a small group using outputs from a larger, often less wealthy group (creatives) without fair compensation

1. These models have been trained on private data many a time without permission 2. Making something public isn’t always a choice made by the creator 3.

I don’t really care if the image gen models are trained on my renders or photos as long as they are open source.
Also I have been making the assets for my game which needs at least 2,000 sprites and honestly it’s very tedious and I’m looking to automate as much of the pipeline as I can so I welcome anything that removes the the tedium and pain from the process.
