Unity Taffy Tales [S1 v1.0.35 Redux] [UberPie]

[Count Morado]

not to mention expensive

It's not expensive for Uberpie to create original art. He, himself - the developer - is the artist when he creates originals and doesn't just try to have an AI generate derivatives of his work without even bothering to do much, if any, editing.

One thing is clear boys the work was to much for the dev alone. Hence the Ai art in the game.

He's not alone. He contracted writers, he contracted a coder, he has had a proofreader. He's not creating this all by himself. And it's not so much a problem with AI. It's the simple appearance that he didn't even bother editing the images after their generation to remove problems or make the art more consistent. I don't think people would have problems with the shoddy artwork if he had bothered to do some quality control.

Hot girls but not enough M/D actions so in fact it is quite the same fantasies repeating without a lot of diversity

To add something positive. At least the main route MC is finally coming around to thinking like red. He seems almost on board with making something useful out of Tiffany.

What's the code for Beatrix Laptop?

Do you mean you can't get the task in your task list? Or do you mean you don't know where to go?
Either way - speed run playthrough available for reference: #29,294

No, it shows on my list, and I do know where to go, thing is, they dont show up in the park

I understand the need for using AI for the art, it's time consuming and not to mention expensive, but they are significantly lower quality than the originals, and have really taken away from the finished product. Looking at Clara's face in half the pictures really throws me off, especially the AI's attempts at ahegao.

i hope the rest of the pictures are higher quality, but looking at the NTR ones i can't say I'm all that hopeful.

Yup, as I said before the only reason I can think of Uber used AI Art is for saving time and it seems going forward in the NTR route it will be all AI stuff. For the people who wanted the route finally to get going and weren't an ass in general about it is just a punch in the face.
Haven't played the main route of the new update so I cant tell if AI has been used over there as well.

I don't think people would have problems with the shoddy artwork if he had bothered to do some quality control.

Nah, I believe even with quality control the people will still have issues with the simple fact that Uber did start to use AI.
You just recognize it via lighting, shading, pose and such that AI tends to do and this is in stark contrast to his usual art we fell in love with.

It has been some days now and the voice is loud and mostly negative around the topic. Has Uber responded to that in any way?
I know he does not frequent F95 but over on patreon there surely are people with the same opinion.

In my video: 26:45 "See if Mary is working out with Darnell in the Park." - The MC goes to the park and finds them. Use the map to go to the park, if you have been using the arrow from the school front.

Did you try all times of the day (morning, day, evening, night?). If so, and still nothing, then you must have some bug and will need to load a save or start over.

Both route uses AI Art. And i doubt he will stop, afaik, his patron numbers actually went up after this update.

Someone just posted in Uberpie's discord a 10-12 page essay/manifesto (8.5"x11", 1" margins, 12 pt Times New Roman, double-spaced) on the current state of affairs in Taffy Town and its citizenry. Nearly 3,000 words. Just in case it gets deleted for spamming/text walling/whatever. I thought it would be interesting to memorialize it for posterity.

paperrater(dot)com grades it a "D" (63%), but your mileage may vary.

 

[Liam the Handyman]

Would be interesting if Uber replies to it. But i guess after that post, dude will be lambasted to space and beyond first.

full gallery ? or save ?

I recommend reading #4 and #5 in the 71st posting of my FAQ: #29,355, as well as #1.
You might also be interested in the content found in #29,294.

I mean I am invested in the game because it has posted me twice now because of the AI art but this dude is on another level.

Damn, really?
Yeah this for sure is taking Uber as acknowledgement that he has done something right with AI and will continue with this.

Aight, I kow I wrote this before but I am out know.
I will come lurking here and there but this art direction is heading somewhere that reduced my interest for the future development to zero.

Try to have fun y'all
