Read article for more details...


TL:DR
Name this new, unnamed character. Whoever suggests the name I pick, gets their own NPC in the game. Multiple suggestions allowed.

The reason for this post
So, I have acquired a copy of Stable Diffusion. Well, what is Stable Diffusion? Stable Diffusion is an AI powered text to image generator with the ability to also do image to image as well.

What does this mean for ZeroDay?

Well, it means I'm gonna use Stable Diffusion to generate 512x512 and 512x1024 images of new characters. I will then use these as references for the 48x48 images used for the sprites in the game. This will also let me post the "HD" versions of the characters for you people to see as well.

Will any of the artwork in the game be made with Stable Diffusion?

Not exactly. I don't plan to use anything directly from Stable Diffusion. I plan on using the images I generate as references to help me draw the sprites and artwork that will go into the game. To put it simply, I'm using the images as concept art, since I am, to be honest, very bad at drawing.

Why is there an image of a blue robot-looking lady attached to this post?

Well, I'm glad you asked! This is an image I generated, with Stable Diffusion, of a new character. She acts as a companion character for the player character. Basically, She will be your "gal in the chair". The reason why you get to see her before I've drawn her sprites is because I need help naming her. Leave your suggests in the comments of this post. Which ever one I end using will get to have their own NPC in the game. I'll contact the winner through their Game Jolt page, after I announce it here in the dev log.

EDIT: If you don't follow the game and you leave a suggestion, please follow the game so you can see if you win or not. Gonna use a poll to help keep track of the cut off, so please ignore it.

EDIT2: The image is concept art. A few elements on her sprites will be different, but for the most part, she will look this. Also, I know the poll is misspelled. Its only purpose is act as a countdown for the cutoff.

A little sneak peak of the face sets I said I was working on before my ADHD said "Lets work on setting the framework for Trophies!"

Been working on faces. Here is a face for Tamana using a debug world I'm setting up for testing. ALSO, I added a screenshot from the game to the gallery. Shows a new enemy known as Adware.

Results of the contest!!!

If you were wondering why all the characters have colored outlines...

Possible new logo? Might go throught a few more iterations. Your thoughts? (See comments for revisions)

Update on the game engine situation and actual progress

So, I may have figured it out... Sorta. This may lead to good things. I'll keep y'all posted. No, I don't plan for there to be a unobtainable trophy, so the game will can be 100% completed, once I make 100% of the game.

Sneak peak for the "ZeroDay Bible". Entry I wrote for Tamana. If you ppl want, I could post the other entrys I have for characters and locations within ZeroDay.

I redid the thumbnail and the banner.| Tell what you people think of them.
