>End of 2024 >Still zero good pony VN
This is one of the most baffling and saddening things about this fandom. With all the writefags and artfags over the years, we should be swimming in pony VNs. Yet there's Pony Waifu Sim and... that's it.
>>41591225thought there was a TEL VN
>>41591243 >artfags Not even needed, though it would be a plus. There are enough vectors and backgrounds to make something decent without them.
>>41591225Just read a fanfic and jerk off to some pictures.It's not as if the VN format adds anything of value.
What kind of VN would you want? Lewd, or not lewd? Anon self insert, or only canon characters?
>>41591281 >Lewd, or not lewd? Not lewd, or only with lewd at the end of a good route. Pony Waifu Sim is good for what it is, but Pony Fun Rump would have been a more appropriate name, for instance.
>>41591225https://www.renpy.org/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Ldd-5PKCwBe the one, anon
>no mlp VN à la snoot gameit's joever
>>41591225>Expecting anything good to happen everLol
>>41591296That's the easiest part. The art and especially the writing are the biggest hurdles.
>>41591225sometimes i fantasize about making a VN, but im a drawfag, not a writer or coder.
Because it takes a FUCKLOAD of work to make anything that's not a 5 minute cum and dash piece of shit
>>41591431You could use vectors for the characters and if you put enough anons together they'll come up with something vaguely coherent.
>>41591401>no ponified Snoot Game modIt's never been so joever
>>41591801the scalies mogged us yet again, such many cases
>>41591873For VN, in our own fandom we got mogged by>Anthrofags>Soon EQGfagsIt's over.
>>41591270I wanna feel like i ak talking to someone and fall in love
>>41591225>VNWho cares about these """"""""""games"""""""""""We already have cool shit
If anyone wants to play the extremely stupid VN I made a few years ago they can:https://mega.nz/file/eW52DIQZ#T-2EEC9f3e0VMgJTLI3aYMIlHTFkpR_d4W6_CMDmEwI
>>41591718I never understood the "I am not a writer" excuse. Unless you are weeb level of tasteless you should be fine.Regarding coding, there are different kinds of coding. >>41591296 has more in common with drawing a flowchart than with software development, and it doesn't strictly require any coding convention knowledge to get started. Even in the industry, most programmers are very retarded anon, give it a shot.
Fishing for ideas. What would each Mane 6 route be about? Maybe Alicornification for Twilight? With branches to either go through with it or stop it?
>>41591925>Twilight get raped>Rarityget raped>Fluttershyget raped>RDget raped>Pinkieget raped>AJget raped
>>41591903im not a writer because its hard for me to make characters feel like their own types of people. I puke words onto the page and it always just feels like shit I would say. I'm also not good at coming up with enticing drama, or other things. I cope with it by drawing what im thinking instead of writing it out because otherwise I don't think its as appealing.
>>41591243/mlp/ can't even make an episode without relying on aislop crutches. Do or Deer was an absolute nothing
Equestria higb wozld be perfect for a VN... we got so many genres of fangames but bareky a VN...
>>41591931What if the mane 6 are trying rape anon while he tries to rape them. This sounds like it could be fun.
>>41592036Frankly I'd like to see more shit get made even with ai crutches.
>>41592041Brilliant idea.Faving the Mares trying to rape us would be so lovely
>>41592047The aipisodes are trash, I'd rather not be exposed to 40+mins of autism. Aitards don't know when to stop or how to write anything concise with plots like a VN.
>>41592041The entire game is meant to anon to turn the mares off so that he could rape them in peaceeveryone knows that anon is a man of rape not a man of consent
>>41592058Or maybe the one who wrote those just needs to improve his writing. AI is just a tool, using it doesn't magically make someone worse or better.
>>41592077It's been documented already that everyone who uses the AI crutch will never improve. The ai does everything for you, and you just move onto gen the next thing. Use slop, turn brain to slop.
>>41592124>and you just move onto gen the next thingESL. Opinion on writing discarded.
>>41592140Nothing about that was ESL, ESL.
>>41592140>>41592170>>41592124ALL ESL
>>41592170>ontoOn to.
>>41591225VNs are a shit genre, why would anyone want one?
>>41592124>it's been documentedWhere?
i will make something on this inshallah
>>41592218Based.
>>41592200>Aitards coders couldn't access their 'tools' with Ai servers down they were worthless and less skilled than the ones who didn't use it at all. >Aijeets in school submitting Aislop writing when they were retards before, are retards after who show no improvement when not using Aislop.>Aitrannies who haven't developed a single skill in art are still complete inept failures without proompts
>>41591225Wasn't there a porn VN in 2019-2020?
>>41591903No, there definitely are some people who are artist-minded and not writer-minded. Genndy Tartakovsky and John K, for instance.
>>41591718What a coincidence, I also sometimes fantasize about making a VN, but I'm a writefag, not an artist nor a coder.
>>41592264yes... a coincidence...
>>41592246>people who only use pencils don't suddenly become good at paintingWell no shit. It's a tool, it shouldn't be the only tool.>are retards after who show no improvement when not using Aislop.So in other words, retards will be retards and AI has nothing to do with it.
>>41592246 I wouldn’t be calling others "AIjeets" when you just proved you’re ESL. Also, Anon asked >where which means he wants something other than your retarded post.
>>41592246I don't know what's sadder, the post itself or the fact that the creature that typed it thinks it fits in
>>41592268Ai is for the brown horde being imported into the first world. Learning a skill is for white men. A crutch is not a skill. If you use Ai you are brown.
>>41592268>So in other words, retards will be retards and AI has nothing to do with it.This is true, however I present you with this venn diagram showing the overlap.>Verification not required.
>>41591225There have been actually been several attempts, but they tend to either die of creative burnout or, I imagine more commonly, C&D's from Hasbro.I remember there was very promising visual novel from a couple year back, with custom art, voice acting and everything, that was shutdown because of a C&D. It was called Pony Tale Adventures. There's still gameplay footage of it online for those curious.
>>41592289 If you spend any time on /mlp/, you know exactly who this retard is. Very low IQ individual who only spams "Brown," "AIjeets," "Slop," and similar words. He also loves to trash "slopmares," Bale, or any /mlp/ projects that exist. It’s funny how he calls everyone ESL when he’s clearly one himself. I think it’s all projection on his part. Just ignore or mock him.
>>41592302what Im more suprised is how many attempts an some finished games in the adventure genra there are and not a single harvest moon like Farming-sim/Dating sim kinda game.
>>41592302I thought some fans are continuing to work on this in secret?
>>41592309Yep. Instantly going for the tired old "brown" cope when he ran out of arguments gave it away. No more (you)s to that retard.
>>41592309i actually agree with the sentiment though. hardly anyone uses AI for something actually good here, its just thread filler at best, and embarrassing at worst. its an excuse for retards to act like they know a thing or two without actually learning anything constructive
>>41592309See this? Because of retards like you, they relied on the aislop and caused jeet jibberish hallucinations instead of just doing their fucking job.https://apnews.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-health-business-90020cdf5fa16c79ca2e5b6c4c9bbb14?taid=671cde7444b38d00014b98dbAi is for browns and lazy faggots who are brown internally. There is no debate
>>41592325I honestly don’t care about AI. I just enjoy shitting on this retard.
>>41592325I disagree, /ppp/ had done really good work on pony voices and believe it or not, there are good images in the AI art thread even if there are lazy proompters too. Even /chag/ has some really fun logs.I think it's become an unfortunate situation where the people making any decent AI stuff are also smart enough to not post it outside the generals cause they know it'd just cause reee. Which makes it so the anti-AI people only ever see the worst stuff.
>>41592309My biggest gripe with AI generated content on here is that anons usually don't usually possess the skills needed to refine output. Like cool man, you saved yourself hours on rendering but they usually can't be bothered to fix some fuckass anatomy or a weird ass cutie mark. For the ones that do have the skill to do so, their stuff is awesome.
>>41592341/ppp/ is uncanny shit powered on pure copium
>>41592343Now this I 100% agree with. I'm all for using AI for pony but ffs, do the bare minimum and learn to inpaint and/or the basics of photoshopping, fix the small shit before you post.
>>41592332 >Because of retards like you Nowhere did I say I use or defend AI, ESL-kun.
>>41592343Critical thinking is a skill that Ai jeets discourage, critical thinking is how you improve without crutches. They only cope and wait for someone else to make a better model or lora so they can continue to use the crutch by just plugging in another subsystem for their skilless ass.
>itt: carbon-based life forms about to realize that they are random delusions in the void
AI chatbots make me shoot HOT CUM and there's nothing the seethers can say that will prevent that
>>41592309 he’s also the guy spamming >Twilight slide thread it’s impressive how removing this single poster would improve the board
>>41592435Yes everyone you don't like is one of your boogeyman, common low IQ post
>>41592435Are you sure? Holy shit, if so, there was never a guy who needed a proper ban more.
>>41592341my issue is that i actually applaud the pony voices, and i look forward to their future successes, but the image generation is where i draw the line. its a tool for losers to cope with not having any drive to do anything interesting, nor being able to have uniquely creative ideas.
>>41592434Based coom-bot enjoyer
>>>>41592289>Virtually all experienced scholars know that writing, is “not the transcription of thoughts already consciously present in [the writer’s] mind.” Rather, writing is a process closely tied to thinking. In graduate school, I spent months trying to fit pieces of my dissertation together in my mind and eventually found I could solve the puzzle only through writing. Writing is hard work. It is sometimes frightening. With the easy temptation of AI, many—possibly most—of my students were no longer willing to push through discomfort.>I researched ways to incorporate generative AI in my lesson plans, and I designed activities to draw attention to its limitations. I reminded students that ChatGPT may alter the meaning of a text when prompted to revise, that it can yield biased and inaccurate information, that it does not generate stylistically strong writing and, for those grade-oriented students, that it does not result in A-level work. It did not matter. The students still used it.>In one activity, my students drafted a paragraph in class, fed their work to ChatGPT with a revision prompt, and then compared the output with their original writing. However, these types of comparative analyses failed because most of my students were not developed enough as writers to analyze the subtleties of meaning or evaluate style. “It makes my writing look fancy,” one PhD student protested when I pointed to weaknesses in AI-revised text.> These technologies, however, often result in inconsistent writing style, do not always help students avoid plagiarism, and allow the writer to gloss over understanding. Online paraphrasing tools are useful only when students have already developed a deep knowledge of the craft of writing.>“Using ChatGPT to complete assignments is like bringing a forklift into the weight room; you will never improve your cognitive fitness that way.”>Many of my students were non-native speakers of English. Their writing frequently contained grammatical errors. Generative AI is effective at correcting grammar. However, the technology often changes vocabulary and alters meaning even when the only prompt is “fix the grammar.” My students lacked the skills to identify and correct subtle shifts in meaning. I could not convince them of the need for stylistic consistency or the need to develop voices as research writers.The teacher quit over aieets never improving, nuff said.
>>41592460
>>41592447 there are times when he goes into a full frenzy of sage posts in a short period, so you can see exactly what he’s posting it’s always shitting on a general, a background mare, concepts like batponies, or words like snowpity, or just posting slop or brownsame when he gets IP banned and you see all the deleted posts
>>41592434You just gave me an idea. A VN about a pony coom-bot that becomes sentient.
>>41592460So ESL retards are ESL retards, even when given access to chatgpt.This text says more about the students than the AI.
>>41592470>snowpityeven a broken clock, eh?
>>41592475No one who's spent anytime in /chag/ ever writes outside of it. There is no skills learned in just unearned dopamine. No one will use /bale/ and also post in the aishartist thread, they're incompatible like oil and water.Ai jeeting is looking for shortcuts for your failures instead of working on developing any skills for yourself. The aitroon community, including on this board is rampant with fraudulent scamming niggers who want nothing more but to use it as a 'tool' to put out dogshit so they can make a quick buck and feel better about themselves as they plug in some loras from scraped artists.An entire subcommunity of brown. The real writers don't use it, the real artists don't use it. Because real cognitive skills have to be exercised and Aijeetgens are the polar opposite.
>>41592495>goes off about quality>SHART JEET SLOP SHART JEET SLOP every other wordAbsolutely no self awareness
>>41592495>everyone who [my headcanon]Ok, I'm done.
>>41592501>No effort in, no care taken when making, no effort outAislop is what it's deserved to be called. Only jeets don't like the comparison, because it represents the level of ''''quality''''' that poo's produced and consumed even before LLMs were being shoved down our throat.
>>41592495its pervasive, filling up loads of threads with shit. and then when a real drawfag comes around they all start sucking them off because its like all theyve ever known is years old fanart and ai shit
>>41592535>filling up loads of threadsName two examples.
>>41592495>>41592528Why are you so obsessed with calling others "brown," "ESL," "jeets," and more when you’ve already proven you’re ESL? Is this projection? Also, please, show us your high-effort projects.
It's as simple asAI image generation has no other use than draw draw porn fast, everything else defies the concept of art since it doesn't make you feel anythingAI assistants is like having a smart buddy that can help with anything, but formal education is still needed to set goals and certify skills.

>>41592656A castrato is a male singer who underwent castration before puberty in order to retain singing voice equivalent to that of a soprano, mezzo-soprano, or contralto. The voice can also occur in one who, due to an endocrinological condition, never reaches sexual maturity.Castration before puberty (or in its early stages) prevents the larynx from being transformed by the normal physiological events of puberty. As a result, the vocal range of prepubescence (shared by both sexes) is largely retained, and the voice develops into adulthood in a unique way. Prepubescent castration for this purpose diminished greatly in the late 18th century.Methods of castration used to terminate the onset of puberty varied. Methods involved using opium to medically induce a coma, then submerging the boy into an ice or milk bath where the procedure of either twisting the testicles until they atrophied, or complete removal via surgical cutting was performed (however the complete removal of the testicles was not a popularly used technique). The procedure was usually done to boys around the age of 8–10; recovery time from the procedure took around two weeks.The means by which future singers were prepared could lead to premature death. To prevent the child from experiencing the intense pain of castration, many were inadvertently administered lethal doses of opium or some other narcotic, or were killed by overlong compression of the carotid artery in the neck (intended to render them unconscious during the castration procedure).The geographical locations of where these procedures took place is not known specifically. During the 18th century, the music historian Charles Burney was sent from pillar to post in search of places where the operation was carried out: I enquired throughout Italy at what place boys were chiefly qualified for singing by castration, but could get no certain intelligence. I was told at Milan that it was at Venice; at Venice that it was at Bologna; but at Bologna the fact was denied, and I was referred to Florence; from Florence to Rome, and from Rome I was sent to Naples ... it is said that there are shops in Naples with this inscription: 'QUI SI CASTRANO RAGAZZI' ("Here boys are castrated"); but I was utterly unable to see or hear of any such shops during my residence in that city.
