Played it. Got all the coins. You can build on this.
At the moment it's too easy and tedious, because the player character can fly. Faster sideways motion (because coins might be far away from the nearest block of their colour) and some flying enemies to dodge would be the most immediate improvements.
Preview doesn't do this one justice, that looks great for only 5 frames! Even though it also appears to depend on an animated path to get the result in the gif.
@eugeneloza Well, that all sounds like a whole lotta tedious rubbish that I am never going to do. Wake me up when AI can take care of that stuff for me...
@Danimal You're absolutely right about that commercial tactic, but Stable Diffusion (and other free models based on leaked versions of the commercial ones) are the spanner thrown into that machine. Wannabe monopolies can only hope to be able to race far ahead of the DIYers, and/or use lawfare and channel control to make it almost impossible to use AI art for anything without paying dues to one of the mafia dons. Both of those are possible but will be an uphill battle.
The second one is probably what I'd be going for in their shoes. You'll never be able to get on top of free hobbyist games through indie distro channels, but if you can lock down Steam/Store/Play/consoles so that nobody without a mafia seal of approval can get a look in, then anyone wanting to use AI art in a game and get paid for it has to pay you. 2 for 1 deal: artists are eliminated from the market, and game makers now have to pay you each piece of art instead, even though you never look at anything except the spreadsheets for managing the lawyers and the servers!
I also just noticed that the title of the thread was out of date before it was even created... The AI tools have already moved on to creating animated movies, 3D models, and 3D animations.
Oh, I see! Thanks Botanic!
Any chance of this becoming CC-BY?
There is an idle-animated version of the big dragon: https://opengameart.org/content/dragon-idle-animation
You can now get an animated version of the wasp here: https://opengameart.org/content/dark-fantasy-platformer-bestiary
Did anyone ever animate this bad lad?
Awesome, thanks!
surt - are you still unwilling for this to be CC-BY?
