I want to present to you all a very special character, the final and main love interest of Of Maids and Madness, Uni. I won't say too much about her in order not to spoil anything, but I will say that she's an incredibly special character. She'll essentially be the Suzi of OMM.

I'm in talks with a few people who are doing research on turning my animations into AI Generated animations. I would make an image, and they would professionally animate it utilizing AI. I want to know my fans opinions on this. To clarify, I would still be making all the artwork. The only thing that would be AI is the animations.

I'm sure the reason for this investment is obvious. My animations are not great. In fact, they're abysmal. This would give us the opportunity for more and better animations. They would only be used if they're flawless and exceptional. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

I've got about one more week to work on OtM until Christmas, then I'll be spending time with family until potentially next year. December sucks for work. But we're so close to an update for OtM and the completion of Warrick Nash. So close!

You guys are awesome. I'm super excited about next year and continuing the story and expanding the world of the Lockverse. There's a lot to do! Thank you for the continued support. You all make these stories possible. Thank you!

Stay hydrated!

I'm kinda 50/50 on the AI art discussion. I'm not a creative, but I do see how stealing art to train AI to replicate artists work is a source of major contention. However, I have seen some amazing and often hilarious or hot things by generative AI. And if you yourself are ok with supplying the AI with your work, I'd say that's your choice, as all of this is collectively your baby and we're just along for the ride. If you're interested in it and accept the risks and quality, go for it!

Well, 90% of my potential sales is pirated and I don't see a cent. We're in a time of, like, forced communism. "Your work? No, Comrade. It is OUR work." I don't disagree, but I'm only lifting the motion, not the art. It's going to be from content that is already free all over the internet. With Steam and itch destroying any chance I ever had of doing motion capture, this is the only way I can improve my animations. I'm happy to discuss this more on Discord. It's an interesting topic and there are valid points on both sides of the fence. Always appreciate your input, Mangetsu.

It will depend on the animations. A lot of time I see the characters beings changed. Some times make them too skinny other times long necks. It has been hit or miss for what I have seen.

Seriously? You're concerned about using AI to animate your own work? AI is just a tool. It's like apologizing for using a table saw to build furniture instead of a hand saw. There are certain personality types that earnestly search for things to be offended and upset about, it is literally how the phrase "haters gonna hate" came about. I think it's awesome that you want to "upgrade" your content with more modern tools. I look forward to your next update.

I absolutely agree with David. Ai is a tool and it helps put more life in your art... do it :) Check Jason, Coming of ages on steam... it did really great for the popularity of this game... and i think more and more creator are gonna go that way. Oh and Btw Uni looks cool ! Keep up the good work !

As said before AI is a tool, and as probably the main thing that all AVNs could improve is animations. So anything that helps and makes your life easier is good

I play games by other devs that use AI to help. The thing is to make sure you make it clear the art is human and the animation is AI assisted. I see AI as a tool and the best AI use I have seen is always edited and touched up by human hands.

I recently played Jason Coming of Age; the occasional AI animations definitely helped bring the characters and the story to life, so I'd be totally on board. I'd love to see some of your scenes animated! Though it may be worth including an option to disable the animations for those who just can't stand it.
