This game is more like Fear and Horny rather than hunger.
Why do you pronounce it Ron Don? Do you say Lon Don? No London. Rondon.
Gro-Gorath - Death and end of things
Sylvain - Life and begining of things.
Their marriage - Eternal cycle and nature
Taurus and scorpio
Chaos just broke out in the dungeons? Seems like chaos was present there for years. All those decayed corpses, skeletons, and monstrosities. Horrible things had to be going on down there for a very long time.
This video is great, I enjoyed the character introductions, and narration of the story 😁 thank you for taking the time to make the video.
My pleasure, thanks for taking the time to watch it!
Also, I should add. The cube of thr depths is also helped corrupt the dungeon, making things worse
@@tacobanana_forever ah, understood
That piano version of Room of Angel is so incredibly haunting and fitting
I don't know why the Greater Blight is probably my favorite mobs in F&H. Maybe its just funny one of the most alien enemies in the game is a huge-ass dinosaur.
The first time I saw screenshots of a blind Trex.... I was like.... how? But the buildup, hearing his steps; then you fight him and have a few turns before he is in range. Finding out his blind and is tracking you by scent... I think it's great build up and introduction of a enemy. I just realized I didn't use footage of the greater blight in the video... dammit past me
It reminds me of a super old dos game where you're trapped. In a maze and have to avoid/escape a t Rex and you think it won't be scary bc of the old graphics with like 2 whole entire colors... Until you start reading the hints the game gives you to clue you into the location. How you hear the stomps... How it smells you... How you can feel hot, we breath on the back of your neck.....
I'm very curious, happen to remember the name of the game?@@captainsawbones
@@tacobanana_forever you're in luck! turns out its "3d monster maze"
It’s so cool. I love that the game had lizard people as the OG race of the world and humans are just forcing their way into godhood and to erase the lizard history. The Greater Blights being the equivalent of “new gods” is fricking amazing to me
THIS IS EXACTLY THE VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR.
let's get into it
let's do it!
Good video mate its a excellent asmr
You had me seriously committed until you brought up eradicating an infestation of koalas with a sword 😅
Cutest infestation ever
The calling card of a Mitch Hedberg fan.@@tacobanana_forever
@Tenchigumi haha very true! I used to like him, I still do, but I used too. RIP
1:02:48
these lore videos are the best, I play most games because of the lore.
This video is atleast 20 minutes longer than it needed to be. It's like listening to an English comp student try to hit a word count goal.
been looking for a lore vid FOREVER
Hope you liked it! I also recommend both of Worm Girl videos and Super Eye Patch Wolves videos on Fear & Hunger
So far a very well made video, also i find it humorous how pronounced Ragnavldr multiplie ways in his segment, i dont blame you though, it is a weird name to figure out the pronunciation for.
Thank you very much! Haha and very very true. I was wondering if I should have included some of the outtakes of me trying to pronounce Ragnavldr, I had to practice saying it over and over again to get it something close to recognizable
Rag-na-val-der
Thanks, let's hope I get it right in the next eopisode :)@@justinpoole8227
If you are wondering why some have issues with AI art, it is due to the fact that the reference images used to generate the images tend to be from artists who make art for a living having their art being used without their consent.
Thanks for the perspective and taking the time to type this up
The thing is that you simply cant stop like. Like piracy was never stoped
Why would you need consent? Do you need consent to have memories of art? Or use reference images? Stable diffusion doesn’t copy data it views it the same way a human does.
@@acksawblack No. It does not.
@@ajflinkYeah, it views it like an artificial intelligence, haha. 😅
"If there's nothing to keep you out, what is keeping the Prisoners in?" (22:12) The dogs outside obviously, they'll obliterate anyone.
Valid point, and interesting concept for a dog run prison
Ah now I see. Cahara is handsome Guts, Ragnvald is berserker Guts, and Nasrah is end of series Guts 💀
I'm 99% sure that Enki is heavily based off of Raistlin from Dragonlance, he's even a twin!
Didn't cahara go to the dungeons basically to loot and sell shit for money? I think the only people who went there for le garde was d'arce to free him and Ragnavald to kill him.. Enki was about to kill himself when he had like a premonition to go to the dungeons. Or am I tripping?
No, you're not tripping, I was having this debate with someone. As best as I can tell, someone hired him to go, but he'd be the type to loot everything. A theory I liked is that Legarde hired him as a fail safe, but that's speculation. I think he might have been the one character that didn't have clear cut motivation, Miro might not have thought so many people would end up loving his game, but that's me just guessing
@@tacobanana_forever yeah I mean it makes sense he would be hired because there's plenty of other places besides litterall hell on earyh to pillage for money lol.
Anyways that was a great video man thank you for bringing more people into this game!
Haha good point! Why loot a dangerous dungeon when you can just loot literally anywhere else.
I'm happy you liked it! Thank you for watching! I've had a ton of fun with Fear and Hunger and making these videos
Well you are right but Enki at least wants to seek out Le’Garde for his “enlightenment” and religious pilgrimage
IIRC Cahara only cared about bailing Celeste out of indentured servitude as a woman of the night, Le’garde wasn’t a priority for him like it was for Ragnavaldr/ D’arce/ Enki. Unfortunately he didn’t make it out as he was the one who died bringing about the GoF&H, which subsequently means his life as a rich noble in the S ending never came to fruition. As sad as it wound up, he came there for selfish financial gain and wound up dying in the dungeon selflessly helping to change the trajectory of humanity.
Thanks for the video bro been looking for a in-depth video for ages👍
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video!!! Please do more!!! This format is so fun, and you are a great storyteller too!
Thank you very much! More videos on the way! I should have my next long (about 1 hour and 30 min) video essay on Fear and Hunger 2 out late next week.
Just saved my shift at work tonight thank you good sir!
Enjoy and good luck at work!
@@tacobanana_forever thanks! And keep the cool lore videos up I'll be listening lol
thank you for making this I loved your style!!
My pleasure! Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
Your voice and the vibe of the video is very history channel documentary and I’m loving it.
Thank you! I'm flattered, gonna keep that in mind and think about silly things they would never say on the history channel :p
O LORD
TEACH
LORE
Ragnavaldr is truly the tormented one, especially if you can't pronounce his name correctly.
My English is shockingly bad at times.
The Old Gods and I are tag team Ragv
I love the Blasphemous OST in the background. Sorrowful be the heart
I'm still making my way thru it, recommend any other tracks?
The damned ai art is fucking terrifying
The ai art in the thumbnail for the new gods instantly hooked me, thought people cosplayed them for a moment, lol.
Your storytelling is amazing by the way. Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the storytelling.
I'm very happy to hear that! Thank you, glad you liked it
I like the ai stuff mixed with original game art.
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
@tacobanana_forever ai art steals from artists
@tacobana_forever what AI Tool did you use for the amazing artwork they are extremly accurate :3
Midjourney + Photoshop
@@tacobanana_forever thanks man looks real good! Great job on the video too :3
nice SH music used in the Intro, I think that music somehow fits F & H, don't know why.
I figured they are both survival horror they might go well together. Besides, I've been a fan of survival horror for a long time, I really liked the old Silent Hills. I might be making a video on Silent Hill 2 in the next few weeks
i complete the gauntlet without the book of enlightenment , it was like 52 tries and my last save was in the endless tower so yeah that was quite an achievement also all my party members had their arms and legs 😌 also i liked a lot your video!
Wow! 52 tries!! That's persistence!
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it :)
7:00 sacrificing moonless was messed up
It was quick
perfect lore video
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video :)
Very in depth video, love the presentation. I really appreciate all the visuals you provided, and they look to mostly be ai generated. Did you make them for this video yourself? Or is there already a large supply of ai pictures made from the Fear and Hunger fanbase?
I generated them all. Mostly using screenshots or the character sprites. Sometimes I'll blend some together, so say a character and a location, and then feed that image back into an AI model to get them closer to photorealistic. Also, I had been using a lot of "photorealistic style" images for Fear and Hunger, so in this video I also wanted to mix things up. So I started using stained glass, berserk art style, and the style of various other medieval artists style to generate some more images that were off a different style.
For a few pictures I added some motion using deep fake software. I did this less since it goes take a bit more work. There's a bit of the girl and Nilvan that I used deep fakes to add some motion to in this video.
So yeah, i generated the pictures. If there is interest, I can always make the pictures available if anyone wants them. Thank you very much for watching :)
I'm not usually for A.I. generated art, but you did the thing I think it should be used for - inspiration, and further development. These are some amazing renders, and I love how you've provided an explanation on how your process, of how you mixed and matched these different styles together.
Can't looking forward to watch more from your channel!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm currently working on my next video and it's awesome to get this type of feedback!
I'm happy to share about my messing around with AI, i'm just personally fascinated with it's different uses, be it data prediction (regression) or natural language processing. It's so sci fi. I also like the idea of daisy chaining models. So say you generate an image with Stable diffusion, edit it with photoshop, add some details in the back ground using Abode's generative AI, and then change the visual style with Midjourney. I think a chunk of art moving forward will be a mix of "hand" made and AI generated.
@@tacobanana_forever Can't wait!
Yes! That's what's so cool about A.I. art - using it as a tool, bringing whatever the artist had in mind further than ever before. I truly think that's the way to go, and I really hope we get to see you use and develop your art and skills with it. I'm gonna have to give it a shot as well, since I work a lot in Photoshop, but I want to expand my toolbox 🙌
Where ca I find the tumbnale to use it as a wallpaper?

@@tacobanana_foreverThey work. Thank you!
The people that lined up the courtyard weren’t crucified, but rather they were hanged.
Awesome vid nonetheless. Keep at it.
I somehow never noticed, I guess my brain assumed. As odd as that is. Glad you liked it, thanks for the correction and the kind words!
@@tacobanana_forever
Sometimes the brain auto-pilots and does the wackiest things. 🧠💨
Very true, sometimes brain is bad
i love these videos they need mor attention tho
Ahah thank you, and I agree :p
I'm very glad you like them! I have another lore video (different game though) in the works right now. Need a few more day, then I'm doing another Fear and Hunger video
Could you somehow send me the art you used for the beginning of the video? I'm try to make a homebrewed table top game of fear and hunger and that's the best art I've seen thus far.
Sure, i just added the first 4 images of the video to:
taco-banana.com/2023/09/03/the-dungeon-of-fear-hunger-fear-and-hunger-lore-analysis/
you should be able to save them from there. Let me know if you'd like any others :)
Your voice reminds me to one of my college proffesors, Mr. Park lol
Nice story telling.
Thank you very much, thanks for watching
I just realized lagarde is just Griffith
AI art is cool but there's so much fantastic art already in the game. And the fan art community is huge.
That's very true. This was one of my earlier videos, and didn't want to just use other peoples art. Its kinda one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't. But i'm a scientist/engineer, so this video was also a little bit of me just testing out some of these news AI technologies (also using AI as a crutch for my bad editting and photoshop skills)
You said Fear & Horror at 2:04 but other than that, W vid
Very true and thank you! Appreciate it.
Fun fact, in my previous video I also accidentally said Fear and Horror once. When I noticed it this time around, I was like... ok... it's an Easter egg now
If you think about it, Legard kinda does fufill the prophecy with the inception of Logic.
How so?
@@tacobanana_foreverhe creates an artificial god composed of the combined consciousness of humanity. He "freed" humanity from the old gods rule, but with the price that humanity isn't actually free, sjnce it's not humanity anymore
The art in the thumbnail though!😮😮
So I haven't played this game, I plan to play the sequel but have kind of killed the F&H 1s story for myself watching youtube videos. One thing I have noticed multiple times but am yet to hear anyone comment on is that there seems to be an idol of the god of fear and hunger in one of the cave dwellers houses. I think its the one that houses the cube. Anyone else notice this ?
I've completely missed that detail. Thanks for pointing it out. Honestly, I don't know what to make of it, not sure how the cave dwellers would even know about the god of fear and hunger. I had thought that the 1st appearance of the God of Fear and Hunger is at the end of the game, so maybe it was a figure in their folklore? Or maybe the God of Fear and Hunger was prophesized?
I would still play the 1st one even if the plot has been spoiled, there's still a lot to explore, just my 2cents. Termina is more polished and has a lot of charm, but there are something I did also like about the 1st one
@@tacobanana_forever Realistically I feel I have to give it a go, even if just for uncensored stingers. Honestly man I have never heard anyone touch on on the effigy and I have watched A LOT of FH1 videos. Awesome video btw man, it was good to see such a comprehensive lore through of the entire game
Now you got me thinking I should spend some time thinking of it.
The only thing I can think of is the cube compelled the cave dwellers to make an effigy once it got to the alter of darkness?
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Fear and Hunger 1 is awesome, can be rough around the edges and at times frustrating. It might take some time to get thru it, though it's pretty short. But either way, both games are great and I'm sure you'll have a blast
I always pronounced Ragnvaldr as RAG-nih-VALL-dr, although I’ve also heard it pronounced RAGGIN’-valder
Bro AI got us fucked up
This video is so detailed I love it! The AI really gives you a persepctive of how they might have looked too! Great Addition! 👍🏻
Thank you
Liked
I like your liked :)
This is quality right here
Thank you! 😃😃
@@tacobanana_foreverNo, thank you
absolutely beautiful in every metric, how did Nashra have 0 hp though???? I dont think he died on mine when i had him, is he invincible? I fell to the swingin blade xD but didnt have the girl so didnt get the best ending :/
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, Nashra is invincible, once at 0 hp, nothing happens when he takes damage, making him great for tanking. The only way he can "die" is if you find Gro-goroth with him, which explains why he is a raisin in part 2
Yup, Nashra is already a disembodied head. Mechanically, he can’t die, and literally just laughs when he hits 0 HP.
Great video
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it :)
Griffith much Le'Guarde? Why do I have feel Le'Guarde was inspired by Griffith from Berserk?
IMHO he definitely is. There's a ton of similarities, a promised mercenary captain leading a band of mercenaries, runs afoul the king, gets imprisoned, sacrifices his friends to join a series of mysterious gods. Cazca is D'arce, and Ragv is Guts.
As a easter eggs, I straight up put in some screenshots of berserk in the video as a goof. In D'arce's sections theres a pic of Cazca and Griffiths
Ayoooo! Finland mentioned! 🎉 Nice video btw. I have been binging your videos about Fear & Hunger, and can't get enough of them. I subbed immediatly. 🫡
Awesome! Glad you liked them! Thanks for watching
24:09 is the sigil of the God of the Depths, not rher
Derp.. I have demonstrated a lack of devotion Rher. Thanks for the heads up
Nice video man, what program do you use to make those ai images?
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
I use a bunch of them, Midjourney does the heavy lifting, then I'll touch up, add, remove, edit or stitch/merge them together in Adobe Photoshop
I also started to use Stable Diffusion, it's not "moderated" so it allows for more options. Midjourney is very picky about what it'll generate, nothing racy or scary, which makes making images for a horror game hard. Stable Diffusion is harder to learn, but gives you TONS more tools. In my next video "City of Fear and Hunger" i'm using stable diffusion for adding parallax movement to still images.
In this video I also used DeepFaceLive to animate the faces. So i can generate the image with Midjourney, touch it up/correct it in Photoshop, and then animate it using DeepFaceLive
@@tacobanana_forever Thank you for the answer, I really could use some ai images at times and you did a great job.
thank you! glad you liked them! Let me know if you got any other questions :)
Cahara: "Ends don't justify the means".
Le'garde: "RRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
very cool video, watching the full 5h rn, but i have to agree with the other comments pointing out the ai "art" just get real art!! I understand you may not have the funds to commission (which is totally fine) but a lot of artists have already made art that u can you crediting them, and there's lots of artists who would just love to help and have their art shown off in another cool piece of art like these videos! again, cool vids, just saying there's a better way to do that one specific thing :3
Thanks watching, and thanks for typing up your feedback. Just wanted to say I hear you
Personally, i prefer the AI art to seeing repeats of the same small pool of fanart.
That was splendid.
Probably the best thing I've seen about F&H. Thanks for this masterpiece.
P.S.
What music sounds at the moment with D'arce/Enki ?
I'm very happy you liked the video :) I'm flattered thank you!!
It's "Waiting for you" piano cover from Silent Hill 4
ruclips.net/video/IQp0QCkqs7c/видео.html
24:07 this is god of the depths' sigil, not rher's. God of hear and hunger is this sigil doubled
Thanks for the double check, made a mistake there
hmmm4_4 Goood show kinda nice
Thank you!
I like the blasphemous music
The Diablo músic is a good choice 😅
It's been creeping me out since i was a kid. Also, spanish guitar is dope
*Stay awhile and listen*
@@tacobanana_forever i use it a lot when drawing or worldbuilding
Cool video but the ai stuff is ah
Fair enough, thanks for watching!
@tacobanana_forever bro I think the AI stuff is fine, these people have no lives. The pictures help tell the story. Thank you. I understand that you don't have money to commission art for this video as you are a small channel.
@@frostynukacolayou're so right, disagreeing with a stylistic choice def means they have no lives you are the smartest most intelligent man to ever be
Ai is ah?
@@te9591ai art programs are trained off of stolen art and it's not great to use them for anything more than just messing about for fun. Tbf it's too bad here there's obviously no bad intentions but it still exploits artists.
so much ai shart
Awesome video! Very informative and i think the AI style art looks great! Keep up the good work!
Will do! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!!
What good work? He didn't make them. The ai did.
@rynziart oho we got a live one! Are you saying he didn't contribute at all to the videos creation? Because I didn't specifically say "good work on the ai images" don't be so quick to be confrontational if you don't know what you are talking about.
@rynziart to further my point can an ai create the art that it does -which is much better than the majority of art in the world btw- without human interaction? Or effort at all from a human? Come back with a good response please lol
@@shatterpointgaming215 Its not hard to create a video like this. it takes minimal effort to do so. Would of been cool if he tried to make these himself, but no I guess he would rather just sit there typing away into a generator. Its just lazy. Also the guy who made the fear and hunger games did not consent to this. He hasn't said he would be fine with some ai images being made by using some of his designs in the database.
Making ai images of someone's work without the consent of the original creator should be illegal.
great video!i hate to be that guy but it is pronounced ragnavaldr(RAg-na-val-der) not ragdavar
No worries thanks for the heads up! Yeah, I'm double checking my pronunciation more from now on. Glad you liked the video!
@@tacobanana_forever yeah it was very concise!
@@methuselahh_ 😊
So le'garde is just griffith
Pretty much
Cool video, as an (traditional) artist that gone balls deep into AI image gen I can tell that you put a lot of effort into generating these art (effort as in not just putting keywords in Midjourney). I don't see AI an unethical or even stealing jobs from artists so I'm cool with that, but my petpeeve is that you didn't disclose that you're using AI art in the vid desc. Which is weird cause you put time to put music you used.
Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. I guess I never thought about adding a disclosure regarding AI art, but I appreciate you giving me a heads up about. I think at some point I stopped putting anything about it because it become normal to me, so thanks for the perspective. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I'm flattered you liked the imagery. I might approach AI and AI art from a slightly different perspective, i'm a data engineer/scientist, so AI is the first time I've been able to have a way to create images like this. Take care!
@@tacobanana_forever If you want my take on AI art vs traditional art: I think creating AI art is ok as long as 1. It's disclosed that it is made by AI and 2. It's not for sale or used in any commercial way.
Number 1 is because the wat to make traditional art and AI art are just fundementally different that it should be a different matter entirely. Think of it like cooking vs baking; they are both ways to prepare food, but they have different crafts and know-hows to make said food. The guy who submitted AI art "Theatre D'Opra Spatial" at an art competition is an asshole because he disguised art made by a machine into a comptetitions for human artists. He skipped most of the creative process and let the machine handle it; for another analogy this is like using an AI to win a chess tournament.
Number 2 is more iffy. Imo unless you have every artists' permission to put their art into your AI training data you shouldn't be able to commercially sell your generated image as it is plagiarism. To why I think it's plagiarism: the AI only uses derivation of the trained image without any meaningful changes (meaningful as in no human input) which doesn't protect said image under Fair Use protection laws and doesnt grant it any copyright.
Those are really good point, and insightful. Thanks for typing this up

I was going to give this video a chance, even with the IA thumb, but will this inteire thing use it?
No, primarily the beginning. It would take too many images and work to animate.
One i love how the ai made the characters looks its really nice
Two your videos on fear and hunger series are interesting and keep entertain while i play horror rpgs or just rgs in general.
And three the first time i played this game and read about legard i immediately "oooooh this mofo is gonna pull a griffin...."

@@tacobanana_forever understandable hope this helps
@@antonyhart6757 it does! I think I finally got it right :p
The game designer is probably a frustrated dungeon master at one point and decides to fantasize about torturing his players and then made this game
Orange was indeed frustrated about what kind of project he should bring up in class. So this was basically his homework of sorts.
Oh wow ,didn't know that. I wonder what his teacher thought about the game

OH RIGHT! THATA WHAT AI PICTURE GENERATION IS USEFUL FOR! 😅 AWESOME
😁
Why exactly would the Kingdom of Rondon hire Cahara to break out a prisoner they themselves just imprisoned??? O_o Cahara obviously wasn't thinking this pretty blatant BS planted ploy by Le'garde through well enough before committing. 🤣
Straight up, no idea. I couldn't find anything in the lore or the community. My best guess was that maybe it was different branches of the Kingdom maybe? Or like you suggested, Legarde hired someon to hire Cahara.
I think it's one of those "The plot needs to happen" type of things
@@tacobanana_forever I don't think Le'garde was trying to hire Cahara specifically, but rather just any talented mercenary who would be confident and crazy enough to be willing to break him out of Rondon's most notorious dungeon and thus help him in his quest to achieve Godhood. And the Midnight Sun would have had MORE than enough accumulated funds to both create and potentially even payout (should against all odds, the mercenary & Le'garde both make it out alive) this fake "from the Kingdom" request.
Between this "fake" request and deliberately leading Darce on, I personally believe Le'garde was trying to create as many ways possible for him to be successfully broken out of his cell before his likely execution after deliberately placing himself in the dungeon. 🤷
Aka, after discovering the Cube of the Depths (the key to breaking down the reality barrier between the human world and Ma'Habre, which is also why I think the dungeon immediately starts corrupting and going to shit the second the cube is physically returned there w/ Le'garde; aka its close proximity weakened that reality barrier), he was officially in full "no risk it, no biscuit" mode mentally and thus willing to put his and others lives on the line just for a narrow potential shot at ascension and thus fulfilling the "prophecy".
@@Cooe. That's a very interesting thought, of the dungeon getting "infected" by the cube. I was wondering what started the event, because it seemed that Rondon had been using the dungeon for a while.
I agree on Legarde just looking for a mercenary, It would make sense that he was trying to have a plan A, B and C, as a backup to the backup.
I never considered the cube breaking down the barrier at the ancient door. I'm fascinating by the use of impossible spaces in games, like the underground city in Eternal Darkness, or the twisting hallways at the end of Silent Hill 2
@@tacobanana_forever I personally don't know if "infected" is quite the right word I'd use for it. 🤷
IMO, it's more like two drastically different realities with totally different fundamental rules governing them are bleeding into each other in increasing amounts the closer the Cube of the Depths (aka the literal key to the reality barrier) is physically brought to Ma'Habre's then presently shut gate (aka the exact reality barrier in question) located at the dungeon's traditional bottom which both connects together AND keeps these two realities separated.
Le'garde's imprisonment and thus the Cube's return to the dungeon for likely the first time in MANY centuries (almost surely since the quest of "The Fellowship", who are also likely the ones who put the Cube waaaaaay the hell out in Vinland as a way to help secure their own hold on power [aka, this was done to deliberately prevent the ascension of other New Gods]) likely set this entire chain of events in motion, which is something I COMPLETELY believe that Le'garde was FULLY aware would happen beforehand from his prior research on the Cube itself, Ma'Habre, and Godhood.
In fact, I think he was counting on it, as the growing chaos in the dungeon would make at least one of his pre-setup break out attempts MUCH more likely to succeed while also weakening the Kingdom's willingness to send increasingly more soldiers to try and regain control after initial failures. (Basically leaving him and his break out party as hopefully the only rational humans still left in the dungeon along with the Cube, and thus able to do whatever they want/need to without external [meaning coming from outside the dungeon] interference).
gotta be honest, the AI art instantly repelled me away from this
I have a very different point of view to AI and all that. Could I bug you to expand? I'm trying to get a better idea of why it's so off putting to some. Either way thanks for the info
@@tacobanana_forever I think the topic of the video would be something I'd really like to see, but the issue of AI is that it's usage is pretty much anti-art. Fear and Hunger is a mechanically competent game that to a great degree is held with duct tape and glue, and the reason it's considered good, interesting, worth talking about, is because of its artistry, it's characters, how it depicts things, the subjects it handles, the story, lore and other elements.
in another comment I saw while scrolling to write my own I saw you mention that you ran screencaps of the game through a generator. I dont know how the author of FnH would feel about that, but if it was me that would feel pretty bad. in a way it feels like you have comodified the appeal of F&H just down to its consumable aesthetic, and turned it into a commodity.
to bring a more tangible example, you may have seen the conversation about the Anime Rock Paper Scissors by Corridor, an AI generated thing that uses as one of its primary training a bunch of screencaps of Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust. Mother's Basement has a very good video on the subject (Title: AI Anime, and insult to life itself. just to have someone break it down understandably), and I keep coming back to a phrase from that video where, because of the existance of Corridor's rock paper scissors anime, Geoff says "We are already living in a world where the striking look of Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust is less distinctive", and I feel the same way about how you're treating Fear & Hunger.
Thank you for taking the trouble of typing this up and sharing your perspectives. I'm not an artist, but a science/data nerd, so some of your points may not have been obvious to me, and you do raise points I hadn't considered.
If I may ask one more question, do you see a ethical difference between an AI image generated with a prompt that draws from a living artist (so say an artist that posted their work to Deviant Art) or a prompt using a historical artist (so like a medieval artists from a different era)?
@@tacobanana_forever I have been seeing that some of the grievances of artists regarding AI are hard, and with your question you raise a good point, specially regarding the consent of the artist for using it in training the machine.
Long story short, with some nuances omited, what many artists have been pointing out is that AI training should be done with artwork and images that belong to the public domain, or with images that are privately owned (for example, I pay an artist specifically to create images to feed into the machine, and they agree to do so). outside of if the images generated count as "art" (which is sort of a personal opinion talk), the ethics are about consent, so using historical art pieces that are legally in the public domain is ok
I completely agree with you. And thanks again for the perspective. I like the idea (at least for now) of trying to draw from cultural and historical imagery. It would force me to learn more art/photography history, but in the end I think images may come out better, and I can at least try to generate them more ethically (if that's possible)
In the end, AI companies involved in AI research already have tons of money, while talented, insightful and driven artist struggle to pay bills :(
I dont like AI art, i think its like eating dogshit quality mcdonalds food, it is a pale imitation, it lacks any quality that makes art worth observing past the most surface level
You could have commissioned artists to draw the characters in a style you like, but i understand how that may be expensive and not viable,
AI is a powerful tool, but it must always remain that, a tool, before we regret not doing that
why do you think anyone wanted your extremely poorly reasoned opinion. you literally wouldn't even have known it was AI art if someone didn't say it. and i have seen art that looked this detailed and good that wasn't AI. you very literally don't have a point because this easily could've been drawn by a person. you received the information that a person used AI tools to generate the art, THEN decided that made it meaningless, when if it wasn't that, you would have thought it was awesome.
said it before, but again, this is what it's like to literally not have a real point
@@MalkuthSephira stay mad.
@@MalkuthSephirayou could literally tell by thumbnail.
Its quite understandable though, normally a single image like that would cost from 20 upward to 100 dollars. Its quite costly.
ThE aI ArT 😮
Good video, but the ai just gives it this corporate soulless feeling
liked and subscribed. idk why so many ppl are butthurt about you using AI. I liked it.Cant wait for more stuff like this
Glad to hear it, and thank you! Welcome to the channel! I'm working on another video on Fear and Hunger 2, should be out early next week :)
AI art...
Sorry.
You're entitled to your opinion, no worries, it's all good :)
Also, I'd prefer the term AI images, I wouldn't call it art out of respect to people that pour their entire lives perfecting a craft. I'm just tricking algorithms into giving me images and then manipulating them in photoshop (which also uses a TON of AI)
The AI art ruined this video for me
Oh no, anyways.
Love the Ai Art. 😂 Seriously, all these idiots complaining about Ai Art are idiots.
Thank you
Boy who da hell is ragvadar 😭🙏
ai art moment
Thank you!
the non synced video with audio really makes it hard to watch
Getting some serious use out of AI.
Oh yeah! I'm fascinated by the technologies, and I'm an engineer. So I naturally gravitate towards stuff like that
Support real artists... Stop using AI
