the models i create are literally just sprite sheets, and the way i do it is i use this free image generator
https://perchance.org/ai-text-to-image-generator
sometimes it gives me something great on the first try, like my 'Angry Face' unit, other times, like my 'Death Knight', i perhaps spun that thing (literally) 1000 times trying to get something i liked. then i edit what i get in gimp afterwords.
let me tell you my desire, what it is i want
let's say i have a model standing as you see mine do in my videos, and then, my "animation" is just a crude 1 pixel offset often, so they have a little movement. i want something that would take the first frame, and give me 8 animated frames, at 64x64 px
meaning after i already created my image, then modified and sized with gimp, i want something that would "animate" 7 more frames for me based off the first, that will look good on the loop at the end
so my desire and need is very very specific as you see: this is not something just starting, but literally i have been working on this since 16 years ago (and 28 years ago in my mind)
hear me clearly as a fellow indie-dev if that's what you are, i will joyfully help anyway i can but also hear this, i literally cannot playtest anyones games or systems, even an ai model creator, for as i've shown unless you offer a replacement for the perchance image generator that is an improvement, or the animation function i described, i don't have use and i don't have time. this is not an insult, i am so happy you are making something to help others, and i hope it helps everyone it can
as for me, this is not a hobby project or little side game, but literally, all i do everyday all day (literally) working on it to improve it, whenever i'm not actually playing (it's online playable right now)
i owe it to all the future players, and i even owe it to God to complete this. literally my time left on earth if it's 2 minutes or 20 years or more, all will be spent on Final Tactics. i believe it is a gift from God to not only me, but all who will play, and i must give all of myself for this. to create what i intend, all of me for the next 20 years is required.
ty for your offer and ur intentions of help, and with the caveats above clearly stated, i also will do anything i can to help you
cheers, and God bless u =)
The LORD JESUS Christ is His Name.
