REALLY hoping this opens up more opportunities for opening up the first 3 worlds or even first 5 considering there's like 17 main worlds and like 4 side worlds so far
They really should make the first 3 or 5 free so people can better experience the game first and then decide if they want to buy membership for the rest.
@traversetown I heavily agree, especially since the next update features a 2nd world rework they should make ATLEAST the first two worlds free. But it's a start and I think this will lead into faster openings
two new pieces but with how I set up the lightbox they literally take the entire gallery. SO maybe my next big site update will be making an actual gallery instead of what I did make. we will see
These pieces are awesome. I don't want to be that guy but it says "suddne" burst of color on beyond all odds. love the art and the whole sit, cheers.
@calupis LOL don't worry about being that guy. just realized it too and I've looked over it 10 times, thanks for telling me
Nekoweb is obviously the alternative and I already have a site up (slaid.nekoweb.org), but the social aspect of Neocities was a big draw and excitement to me. Maybe Nekoweb will add more social things, maybe not, but idk. I'll stay here on the meantime unless things get worse
AI obviously has been with us for decades by now and has proven worth too - hard to deny the medical advancements AI has caused, especially when my father was able to be saved from prostate cancer due to medical advancements related to it - but it's just a shame that someone with enough creativity and thought behind this site would also implore genAI as a good way to make art, much less be a way to replace creativity
TL;DR the person behind Neocities had a post surface from end of 2023(?) that was basically him defending genAI. Talked about how it "exponentially increased creativity" and "made beautiful art" and unfortunately it's not something I agree with. https://kyledrake.com/writings/ai
i see...... kind of unfortunate as an artist myself. i'll consider a nekoweb but unless things get like,,,,, bad bad i'm probably not moving
i honestly doubt there's gonna be ai on here at any point in time. though if you want data scrapers off your neocities site you can make a robots.txt file, i found it out from here https://neocities.org/site/shinyexe?event_id=4237442
@sclptures how do you implement that on a neocities site? still sort of new to how to implement that kinda stuff
it's easier than it may look! just make a new file called "robots.txt" at the base of your site and copy the text into the file
i agree with everything you've said, using ai for art isn't cool but for medical purposes and to actually help people is an amazing advancement in technology. i do like the social element that neocities has as opposed to nekoweb so i think i will be staying here too
I agree completely with what you're saying. It's quite the situation going on now, but I am going to stay on Neocities since I really enjoy it here. I'm not moving unless all hell breaks loose and this place isn't enjoyable anymore.
The OG Roblox was seriously one of those things you had to be there for. So much plane wars, paintball, and tycoon games. With the things I hear about Roblox now, it's saddening knowing kids nowadays will never get the same experience.
roblox just unfortunately got too moved with the new generation. Most of the popular games are basically gambling RNG, tower defenses, simulators, or all 3. Also the site just keeps removing features that really aren't that bad. Game Genre's getting removed in like 2016 was a downfall
Game genre's being removed is something I still haven't gotten over. I miss that feature so much, its so hard to search for stuff now.
this really hurts because i started playing roblox right as it was going down the shitter. i'm glad the roblox high school legacy version is still somewhat active though
3 new pieces all made within the last week ^_^. hit a bit of a stride recently and getting better at metalheart every day
holy shit that goes hard
