It's a shame this kind of gameplay never caught on like Imperial gatekeeper.
good luck kind sir.Nickkarv and I have been talking a bit, but absolutely nothing is set in stone at this point.
I want to make this abundantly clear, so people don't expect a deadline or any form of date because at this point there's still absolutely no guarantee it will lead to anything, and I know from first-hand experience what a letdown it is to get your hopes up and receive fuck all.
Once again, I implore those with the proper skills to get in touch with me (or Nickkarv, if he's available and willing, I can't make promises or guarantees on behalf of someone else after all) if you want to start contributing.
The earlier you show yourself capable of and interested in working on this project, the more creative influence you're likely to have.
Right now it's pretty much just "How the fuck does this game actually work behind the scenes, and how do we even begin to replicate it in a way that doesn't result in the same flaws and drawbacks the original suffers from?".
So, Nick is digging around in the game files, and I'm trying to gather intel as best I can.
Neither of us are artists, and using vectors like the original game does (at least I think it does, there aren't nearly enough actual images present in the game's internal files, and IIRC there are none whatsoever pertaining to the actual slave girls) might risk having a similarly negative performance impact.
Tl;Dr: Shit's hard, man. Send dudes.
Could potentially go ask around 4chan, people there had modded Slave Matrix for a while and the game was very much popular there.The penis is ripped, I repeat, the penis has been ripped.
<SNIP>
I remember somewhere in there being a list of all keywords in Japanese. You can translate that and keep a sheet of it on a doc form. I did that when I made the BBMod.(Also IIRC a lot of it is coded in Japanese, so that's... Fun. In the Dwarf Fortress sense of the word.)
I have not checked 4chan, thank you for the lead.Could potentially go ask around 4chan, people there had modded Slave Matrix for a while and the game was very much popular there.
I have thought about it, I still kinda want to check how viable is to rip everything, if it happens to be just vectors I kinda want to lean towards remaking the art, it is possible to rip the body parts and everything else but is just too much work and too much to guess.Now I am not sure if this would be possible (just a thought), but think you could use AI Generated art to generate certain parts of the body?
If you still want to take a look at AI Art, I recommend you to check out StableDiffusion onI want to bring a human artist tho, I'm not against AI art but I have my doubts about IA maintaining an art style, I could be wrong tho, I haven't used one so maybe that is a non issue?
Thank you for that, right now I can't set it up since my ISP decided that the weekend would be the prime time to do maintenance to their infrastructure, so I have no home internet at the moment , I'll check tomorrowIf you still want to take a look at AI Art, I recommend you to check out StableDiffusion onYou must be registered to see the links.
This will allow you to generate your own AI Images while maintaining an Art Style - that I can guarantee, as I did it multiple times to generate stuff, pretty cool ngl.
Take a look at the Free Cities thread, where StableDiffusion is used to dynamically generate art for the game, there's a wealth of information where you can get it to work. I can help you get it set up as well if you wish.
Then honestly you haven't seen good AI Waifus.. lots of people generate stuff without caring for the large variety of settings that certain frameworks provide. Hell, some just create images to masturbate to and then forget.Ah yes, AI slop. Can't wait for the creepy dead eyes all AI "waifus" share.
Some might say too familiar.
Not sure how powerful AI is in this specific case, the game indeed uses a lot of small parts to make a body, hair, faces, etc. I have seen good sprites that are made with AI so I'm kinda hopeful it would at least look decent, not entirely bought on the idea of it but is not like there is a lot of options without funding.the problem I see with using AI is that the game, from what I can tell from just playing it and not digging under the hood, feels like it puts pieces together from a bunch of premade parts to make the characters, but I don't know if that is something that can be done with AI. not if you want it to have a consistent look and the large body plan variety that the game can make as is. maybe it can be used to generate a character and then cut up the pic in an image editor for part tracing, but I'm not sure
