@RapistGoku Thanks, but I don't know if they could fit the template sprites in the OP link.

@RapistGoku I've tried CivitAI, but they use some virtual currency that you can only replenish by participating in their forums or paying actual money.

I know there are also some AI tools that you can download and run locally, but I currently don't have a powerful PC for that.

Something to think about:

Just think of some obscure, dead franchise that still has a cult-following, but little to zero chance of a revival or a series that changed drastically that the newer games look nothing like the older ones (like Ys with the bump combat system).

Another thing you can do is to try to port your games to more obscure platforms like BSD, Plan9, or Haiku. There is probably an untapped market of users who want to play something on there other than TuxRacer. It just like when indies were porting their games to Linux back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Sadly, this option is if you write your games "from scratch", but luckily SDL pretty much runs on everything so if you just use that than this should be no problem.

So apparently 4chan now requires an email address to post. At this point, they might as well ditch the anonymity and just have accounts like a regular forum.

@PurpCat So what didn't work on OpenMandriva?

@Hephaestic Just find some dead genre to revive, spread the word on various gaming forums, create something, and hope for the best.

@tinosoft Fascism is just the merger of corporate and state power. It says nothing about the well-being of workers or capitalists.
