He remade Hermione 3 or 4 times since last year. He'll probably find another excuse to remake all the art again.
I don't even know what to really type tbh. I know I probably shouldn't really engage, but a combination of my ego and imposter syndrome don't really allow me to let myself appear like a grifter, so like I've mentioned a few times by now: I'm not milking it. I am not making any money at all. 4800$ in renting GPUs between last May and today + commissions and (under)paying Kpect now and then + the refunds, and I'm no longer even in the green
Or is your point that I'm preventing you from getting to play the game out of some morbid enjoyment...?
Don't worry, as much as I appreciate
Fox_. 's sentiment (really, I do mate - thank you), I very much prefer that you don't support with money for now
I'm sorry for the tone, but there has been some miserable days so I like getting to complain and vent a bit. That isn't really fair on you because I'm just making you a scapegoat for frustrations that are 95% my own fault, but still, why man. Disappointed posts like
rewyb 's are completely fair, but yours just make me boggle
I'd rather get the occasional AI slop issue, rather than not having a game to play.
Yep, I agree. I think I've already pretty clearly demonstrated that I shouldn't be the one doing this. I'll go more into what went wrong and the numbers of it when it's out, but roughly the 4800 translate to something in the excess of half a million images and 476 days of GPU runtime, divided by 2 to get something closer to actual time spent on it because I'll mostly always be using 2 (sometimes 3) cards but still, that's a stupid amount of time and I actually want to puke. Especially when the first 10% gets you 90% of the way there. Already tested it when I had people helping me sort through images, and the amount of matches between images I had picked and the ones players did was always very low
I don't know exactly how we'll go about it - possibly I'll just let Kpect do it. While it'll be someone else doing it, the weights are all the same so the artstyle won't be affected (too much), if anyone was worried about that. Plus I'll of course still be doing a bit of it on the side to supply with things when needed, or just for fun
Lastly, thanks a lot for the posts rewyb and fox_. Really man
