The age of an A.I. has begun!

Hello, everyone.

Today, I have something to show you. It's a new technique to enhance the quality of my renderings! Now, it might sound boring to some of you, but as a technical guy, this is a game-changer for me. I must find a way to use it!

First, I'd like to make a disclaimer. I want to clarify that I won't be solely relying on AI-generated renderings. Instead, I will continue to carry out my usual work while utilizing AI to enhance specific key images.

For example:

It is quite refreshing to see some more details I can give to this world. And I like it a lot.

The blending effects (above) are a preview of what you can expect to see in the game going forward. However, the effects shown below will not be included as they may be excessive and overdone. Although I am willing to incorporate those effects for wallpapers occasionally because it looks nice.

I love to play around with it.

Please understand that I don't want anything I do to slow down my progress. I've experienced burnout a few times in the past couple of years, and I'm determined to avoid that happening again. My goal is to do something that brings me even more joy as a technician, writer, and art director. And the best part is, you'll get to see my finest work. I'm truly excited to witness my characters becoming more realistic with the help of AI.

The progress of the upcoming update (V.0.17.0) is proceeding at a steady pace. Rest assured, I won't abandon my projects, although some may be labeled as "abandoned" due to circumstances beyond my control. Let me clarify my plan: I will continue developing Dark Magic until the story reaches its conclusion. Next, I will pick up where I left off with The Island of Oblation and continue its development. And yes, I acknowledge that the school game may seem similar to others, but I am eager to work on it nonetheless. Wish me luck.

Lastly, I want to sincerely thank you for always being here for me. It has been a tough couple of years, but I have a strong feeling that things are about to improve. This isn't confirmed when, but I've decided to give myself a six-month opportunity to focus solely on this project and see if it can truly work out (Like an old time). Some may call it a risky move, but deep down, I know it will bring happiness back into my life. Creating this world was always meant to be my source of joy, and I'm determined to reclaim it. What do you guys think?
