Tribute song
« on: November 18, 2024, 02:30:59 pm »
Inspired by this awesome mod and  Solarius Scorch's song Hellerium Trails I decided to make a tribute to what I consider the best tactical RPG in the word.

Given that I'm talentless hack with no skills I made it using AI. Despite that it ended up surprisingly not terrible so ... enjoy.

What can I say? Good job! I liked it. ;D
The music works for me, and the lyrics were all right - despite having been machine generated, I think they fit well.
Perhaps one day we'll assemble a whole album? :)

Thx Solar!

I haven not used AI to generate any art before so I was myself surprised how decent it ended up. In Suno I generated lyrics by simply listing some core themes of X-piratez and what genera of music I want. That produced several melodies, and I picked the one I thought sounded the best. Then I generated some images in DeepAi using simple key words like "muscle hypertrophy female, chaos warrior , pirate" or "post apocalypse ruins" or similar to generate some theme appropriate images.

Next I edited mp3 and jpg in Shotcut in to a video. I never used video editor before so I got highest rated video editor flatpack from app manager on my Linux distro. After that learning to use it and editing final video took only about 3-4 hours.

This AI thing is quite impressive, only complaint I have is that hands and weapons often end up looking messed up, but given that it's completely free of charge and better then anything I could ever paint myself I cant really object too much.  ;D

Using Slave-AIs to generate music 'eh? Better to scrap them for optronics.

Music is cool, but I think tribute song for Piratez should be something akin to Heavy Metal movie soundtrack. So, well... Heavy Metal.
Even with the same lyrics, but someting boombastic.

I think there's room for all kinds of songs on this album. ;D

That's a pretty catchy song. I was expecting something more... girly (galey?), but ogres are a thing. :)

Is there a way to download it?

On PC monitor bottom right there is 3 vertical dots icon next to speaker icon. Clicking on it opens pop out with download option.

Edit: I see this option is only present for creator of the song, I'll see if I can upload it somewhere for download.

I have trouble getting Suno to reliably generate female vocals. This is is closest I got and she sounds like she is juicing on anavar, but that actually might be setting appropriate  ;D

So I made a post yesterday on how you should use Udio over Suno but then thought why not make a song myself. Now it's not perfect as it decided to spam verses (reminds me of a band called Ancient Bards lmao) and ran out of prompt material and I don't have much credits left to fix it, but if you're willing to regenerate fragments you can make a decent fan song. It's definitely stronger when it has an existing song structure and lyrics, as in making covers and not OC songs but Im getting derailed. Anyways enjoy, what do you guys think.
