Romancing NPCs on Twitter ❤

This story originally appeared in Naughty List News #18, published February 28th, 2021

If you’ve been on Twitter in the past week, you’ve probably seen the trend of posting your “final boss" image. This is where you take an existing photo from your phone and post it as if you were the final boss in a video game.

I was okay with the first few that showed up in my timeline, but it’s basically just another excuse for hot people to post selfies.

Luckily, a variation has popped up! One that is much more to my liking. Show off what you would look like as a romanceable NPC:

These poses are all quite striking! They should make for excellent reference material on my next game. 😁

AI-generated wizardry 🧙‍♀️

This story originally appeared in Naughty List News #20, published March 14, 2021

Liz England is not content with “just” procedurally generating a city of people in Watch Dogs: Legion. She has now turned her attention to creating AI-generated facial animations as well.

Specifically, she’s found that you can use Artbreeder to generate a face and the Deep Nostalgia tool from MyHeritage to animate it:

An AI generated drawing of a face (through artbreeder) now using AI generated animation (through myheritage's deep nostalgia tool) and... there's no copyright on this, I can use it commercially if I wanted to.

What’s really remarkable about this technique is that you can use it for commercial purposes! Liz notes that the face generated by Artbreeder does not have any copyright, while the video from MyHeritage transfers the copyright to you.

Here's what this would look like in game (which I already got working???)

A few days later, she has also figured out a way to use an open-source tool to animate characters using input from her webcam:

Ok so... I guess I can animate characters now with my webcam.

Suffice to say that this opens up very interesting opportunities for visual novels! ✨

This could be a great way to animate the characters in your game in a cost-effective way. I’m excited to learn how far other people are able to take this!
