Hello, folks!
I hope you're having a good summer. We are, frankly speaking, not very. The build process is much slower than we would like, and there are a number of reasons for this. To begin with, this is a creative process (and sometimes much more creative than creating illustrations), requiring much more subtle attunement and even more concentration and immersion — and therefore, unlike the same illustrative work, it is impossible to just take and assemble a piece, devoting two hours to this matter after the main work. At least, it doesn't work out that way for us.
In addition, the code itself, written at one time by two different people, who, alas, cannot be called professionals in this field, looks very intricate. And although we have never received offers to optimize it, we are, frankly, just afraid to touch these wilds. It works, well, thank Cupid!
Moreover, I will say it again, this process is more creative than technical. And very, just very painstaking — so for Jack alone we have more than 1000 variations of different facial expressions, hand positions, clothes and poses.
And while Mr. Beef is walking in the maze of variables and symbols, I decided to clean off the mold a little and get acquainted with such a beast as a neural network. You can't stay on the sidelines when you keep hearing that it will soon completely replace us and leave us without a job.
Well, what can I say — it definitely won't happen tomorrow. But, you need to know the enemy by sight, and even better — to make peace with it for the time being. After all, in fact, a neural network at a certain stage can become quite a good assistant in our common cause.
In the meantime, see how it imagines Cupid. In the next post I will share with you early sketches of this character.
Thank you for staying with us and supporting us!

That’s something)

The first links will be available next Friday.

Hey where's the update? Since last year we are waiting for an update of the game. Im talking by myself since im following this project for almost 4 years and no relevant content has been dropped following the story or the corruption of jack that is more slower than a snail. And i can say that almost everyone who has been supporting this project is really upset and angry with the content of the updates and the time that takes to make one.

I belive we even too years in future would not compare true art with neural network,but they sure helps

I think that your job is safe for a while.

Release update please. ;)

mr.Beef Well, you don't think we plan to feed you these semi-finished products, do you? ^)

A neural network may be a useful tool but it's best to know its limitations. Clearly, it is unable to duplicate Mister Beef's artistic style but it may be a helpful assistant in assembling the pieces that Mister Beef gives it.

I respectfully second my esteemed colleague. Me no likey.

That’s not what you’re going to make him look like is it because I can’t jerk off to a game that has that thing in it

Those are some interesting images.
