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
