why?

Hey dude what's wrong with AI-generated content? Do this pixels games reject the development by AI? I think AI makes work easier, so why do games like this reject AI generated? Have you never used AI in your entire life?

See rule 3 of plugin store rules:
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=9085

3. Use of AI for Image Creation

If you use AI to generate or assist with your plugin’s graphics, you must declare it in your submission. Usually, AI-generated artwork must be heavily edited to fit TheoTown’s style, which includes matching the color palette, perspective, scale, and pixel-art details. Always ensure your final graphics meet these requirements and that you hold the rights to use any AI-produced content.

Okay dude, for those of you who have a high IQ comparable to Albert Einstein's.

Is the declare stated in the description section?

Go to the forum page, press rules, see point 3

[chrome raptor]

In my opinion, the store page should provide a checkbox at indicating that these graphics are created by AI. This way, when sending plugin, the creator doesn't need to explain that the graphics are made by AI. They just need to check the checkbox and it will automatically be marked as 'created by AI'.

[low wadi]

No, that will never be done. The store is for human created plugins and will always be. Creators earn diamonds for their work so it would be unfair if AI plugins were rewarded the same.

Feel free to post you AI slop to forum showcase though if thats what you would want 🤷‍♀️

[chrome raptor]

Just make revenue rules for content from AI generated, for example, giving half the revenue to the original creator. After all, I'm doing this just for fun, not to make reward/money.

[low wadi]

To be fair, you just did a bad job in using AI because that doesnt look the right scale nor does it match the game's graphics. As the rule says if youre using AI generated images you would need to very heavily edit it to make it fit in.

Why not using it as reference? You said AI as a tool then make it as reference and draw based on it. Then the AI will really called tool for assistance

[chrome raptor]

If that's the case, it's called repetitive work, because you need to recreate the image manually. Then, what's the point of using AI if you're just going to recreate the image manually? What I'm saying is, it helps to produce images without wasting a lot of time, whereas if you do it manually, it takes a long time just to draw the pixels.

[low wadi]

And thats the point of the plugin store. To reward human work and effort

[crimson isle]

Its called slop if you count the raw output as end product. Then its not tool of assistance.

Well that's that, if you want the plugin accepted the short answer is to redraw it. Its not that difficult since you already has clear reference, instead imagining it from scratch.

@chrome raptor if your not willing to put in the work then that's the end of the story. We're not going to have a debate about this. Your more than welcome to keep producing this slop and it will keep getting denied. End of story. This topic will be closed upon your acknowledgement.

Furthermore if you choose to continue to produce only AI generated content then I will happily remove your plugin creator role because that's who we are intending it be for

[chrome raptor]

Hahaha, working hard just to draw pixels? LOL

Yes, if you think this is nonsense, feel free to ignore it. It's just a suggestion to make the content more diverse and less boring.

Glad we have an understanding
