Two-person indie studio Chequered Ink launched a pack of 10,000 game assets to "give budding developers an alternative to AI", which includes over 9,000 graphics for platformers, RPGs, puzzle games, board games, and more, as well as over 700 sound effects.

So it still gets something else to do the work for you without paying for it?

[–] BennyTheExplorer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're paying for it. This pack costs money.

And even if it was free, the problem with AI isn't that you're not paying for it. It's that you are ripping off artists without their consent. All artists that are in this asset pack consented to their work being used.

Oh, alright. Some of the other comments made me a little angry, that may have clouded my judgement on yours. So
