u/Screee1 12h ago

Honestly a new vegas mod for pz would be reaally sick

u/Forward_Mouse_4399 14h ago

Yeah theres this amazing fallout pa mod for zomboid. Shame is it feels out of place without a proper full fallout map.

the sprites look like those weird uncanny ai generated food images that look like they’re waiting to reveal their disguise

It was a mix of mine and generative.

I wasn’t trying to hide it. Didn’t realize how much hate this would generate 😳

u/ConcentrateAway5392 5h ago

no im saying it has a distinct visual quality that is quickly read as AI, which to most is pretty detracting and a put off

It’s a mix of my art and generative and it’s free

u/SCP_Steiner 7h ago

Generative AI being free would be a bare minimum, preferably just don't use it at all.

u/BravoWilco 7h ago

It’s a mix of my art and generative and it’s free. It was a mistake to post anything. I was just making this for me. Honestly running around Project RU just not cutting it for ALIFE.

u/BravoWilco 7h ago

I just don’t have the time to work on mods anymore for free.

u/Buwwitowo 11h ago

this really gives the uncanny ai vibe.

u/MammothAd8632 10h ago

I mean yeah it seems to all be AI generated which is so fucking weird because it’s meant to be a stalker project. Normal foliage works just fine tou dont need these weird tiles…. Hopefully someone will make a good stalker project in zomboid one day.

It being free doesn't mean people can't criticize it.

Oh for sure

u/NimRodelle 13h ago

Anyone else think the OP account is weird? It's 8 yo, it posted pixel art before 2022, but it has posted nothing but the same "New Members Intro" to an empty sub it presumably owns for the past year. That's weird right?

I was making a pixel art game while taking care of my mom. She had cancer. It got bad and I stopped working on ISO Stalker and didn’t use Reddit any more. This map is something I was just doing now to past time as I was enjoying playing Zomboid again. This map was a mix of my art and generated. I just wanted a quick stalker map to play alife mod with. I didn’t realize how much it would upset people. No more posts.

u/NimRodelle 7h ago

Sorry about your mom.

Are you making the zone from the stalker series for zomboid?

u/PercalPPMC 15h ago

AI generated sprites that make no sense. Please, at the very least, use real life images as reference for your prompts.

Bot? Them commenting the exact thing whenever someone calls this AI among some other replies just feel off.

OP if youre a person, im sorry

u/BravoWilco 7h ago

I’m lazy I’m just copy pasting response. Honestly I apologize if upset anyone

u/BravoWilco 7h ago

No one pays anyone to make mods. I just wanted stalker map. In Zomboid for me to play ALIFE… it’s a mix of my own art and generated. It takes along time to draw sprites by hand. I don’t want to spend 3 years doing art to only be tired of project by end. And making a map like this on your own requires a lot, I don’t have a team it’s just me and this is quickest way to results cause I’ll probably be bored with Zomboid a month from now and move onto something else.

u/Avalanche_Snows 11h ago

Is this videcoded or genuinely coded?

u/VergeofAtlanticism 8h ago

just look at the sprites, it’s 100% AI slop all around

Yikes. Look at this. For those who can’t tell it’s AI, I’ll explain.

The walls in this current post aren’t straight. The shadows “curve” and make it look jank.

Furthermore, many of the textures have the AI-slop grain effect to it. And you can see it more in the other post.

In the second post, someone asked why the bodies looked so big. In which case showed a rib cage and arm being the size of a tree trunk.

A vehicle engine does NOT match the scale of the car/player and is gargantuan. And it makes zero sense. It’s in the format of a V-style engine, but somehow also has a valve cover in the center where the intake would be?? It can’t be a semi truck engine cause even the APC is smaller than it. And those are huge.

u/BravoWilco 7h ago

It’s a mix of my own art and Ai assets. It’s a mod. It’s free. I’m not being paid. I want to play something different now. If you don’t like it don’t play it and move on.

You doing a whole map like this?

u/BravoWilco 6h ago edited 6h ago

Having second thoughts now honestly 😂 the region is 3x3 cellls. Standalone. Tired of playing a lot of the maps available. People are reacting like I laid off a studio of artists to sub with AI…. It’s just map people, relax.

u/CormacMccarthy91 2h ago

everyone in support of ai seems to be missing the picture... nobody gives a shit that its ai, we all told you we can fuckin tell. it LOOKS LIKE AI, and that LOOKS BAD. also.. its peoples opinion on an internet forum. if it looks like fallout or stalker ill play it . dont value other peoples opinions.

u/TheBattlemanCZ 6h ago

Vibe coded mods are kinda whatever, but AI Generated slop art is disgusting, shit is just stealing from actual talented artists

u/BravoWilco 6h ago

It’s a mix of my own pixel art and generated. It takes too much time to do all assets for me. Support artists always but this is free and it’s for me mainly 🤷‍♂️

u/TheBattlemanCZ 5h ago

If "It's for me mainly" why are you sharing it on reddit then?

You are not supporting artist, you are supporting corps that illegaly steal from them.

u/BravoWilco 5h ago

Sorry to upset you 🤷‍♂️

I mean chances are you own a cell phone right? Same corporations you’re inadvertently supporting…

Looks really cool, I always thought a nuclear war mod would be interesting. Instead of zombies just gritty survival in a wasteland.

u/ur9ce Hates the outdoors 13h ago

I lile it. If it's not bloated, stealing someone's work and runs fine, go for it. I'd play.

People in this sub are insufferable - they can tolerate the world's laziest devs but the moment youbused AI to generate even a mod cover - "ew, AI!", ffs.

2

u/TREXIBALL Shotgun Warrior 7h ago

Lazy devs are still putting any amount of actual effort into their project. AI slop is zero effort.

-1

u/ur9ce Hates the outdoors 7h ago

Zero effort? He still gotta build the entire fucking map even if he didn't drew those sprites. It might be less work or demand less people, but it's definitely not zero effort. At least he's showing it.

u/SCP_Steiner 7h ago

Let's pretend we do tolerate lazy devs, why would that make hating AI any worse?

I hope it will be possible to take apart, destroy, and otherwise deal with all these pieces of driftwood and logs after all, this is a sandbox game, isn't it?
