Hey there! Flashpoint was used as a base, and Flashpoint itself was actually a minimally modified version of the original Poptropica, so there's not much of an argument there. I offered to attribute and reimburse the creators of Flashpoint, and they declined.
AI can be a tool used for great good and great evil, like any technology. No one else was creating something like this, so I took it upon myself. Not sure why an indie developer is being demonized for using AI.
No offense, but I was trying not to demonize you. I didn’t even know you were using AI, and I was just sharing my opinion on the situation. It’s not like this project is harming anyone or replacing jobs, you’re a one man band of a game developer, and there’s not really anyone else who cares enough about Poptropica to do something like this. I get it; you’re just a small game developer trying to give nerds like me what they want. All you’re doing is getting some minor assistance from artificial intelligence; it’s not like you’re eating babies or anything. I knew that a former Poptropica Help Blogger like you has more integrity than that. Most of the game was already coded anyway. I’m perfectly fine with this.
(And I just noticed that the guy who was getting onto you deleted the whole rant. Bro straight up retreated 🥀)
No problem. I’d usually try to avoid the use of artificial intelligence if possible, but I understand what you were trying to do here. It’s not really replacing any jobs in this case, so I’m not personally upset. I’m sure most of the work was done manually with a good old gallon of elbow grease. Besides, I know a former Poptropica Help Blogger wouldn’t betray the community. Stay poppin’.
