  • I mean, you can do whatever you want. But I would strongly recommend not using AI at all.

    If you can’t draw (like me), then find an asset pack that’s close enough to what you want and do some minor edits to make it fit. Even a quick little doodle will have more heart and soul than an AI can ever try to poorly emulate.

    Ever seen a game called “Thomas was Alone”? Every character is made of simple rectangles in different colours and sizes. You don’t need much.




  • Skies of Arcadia.

    For one thing, the entire setting is just a bunch of floating islands, and I love that trope.

    For another, there’s 6 moons, each with elemental powers. The land under each moon is affected by these powers, making the land under the red moon a scorching desert, and the land under the green moon a thick jungle.

    Then there’s the subtle mysteries. There’s an iron star in the atmosphere, which is a satalite but everyone forgot what it’s called. There’s a black moonstone, but no black moon to go with it. There’s a looper of every moon colour, but there’s also a black looper that only shows up once you defeat the main villain.

    I think, most of all, I love the tone. Pirates fight an evil empire, and a heroic, upbeat attitude is never punished.






  • It’s kind of been a running thing that the only way to make a group of cops the good guys is to have them point out how bad most cops actually are. There’s an episode where Terry gets racially profiled and has to sacrifice a promotion so he can get even a little bit of justice. There’s an episode where NYPD posters keep getting defaced, and Gina has to point out how most people hate cops for good reasons. The series starts with Holt pointing out the NYPD kept him from getting promoted due to being a gay black man, then promoted him when they thought it would make them look good.

    Heck, all of season 8 is spent opposing a police union and trying to stop police corruption.

    It’s copaganda that desperately didn’t want to be copaganda.
