I would argue that with photography, only the tooling changed but the craft remained, while with AI the craft completely transforms in something else, in which I'm just not interested in.

> Does it matter? Like how does it matter?

Yes, it matters to me because art is something deeply human, and I don't want to consume art made by a machine.

It doesn't matter if it's fun and beautiful, it's just that I don't want to. It's like other things in life I try to avoid, like buying sneakers made by children, or sign-up to anything Meta-owned.

Hey, I'm building a next gen virtual pinball simulator!

I'll post an update to VPU in a few weeks!

Yes, I also have a Tilt Five kit, which is awesome.

We're still doing lots of work on the core parts though, so these things will come later.

Yes, Volley was a nice project because one of the dev team has one at home, so we got ultra detailed assets. It was also a great use case to test Visual Scripting.

But before we dive into more table builds, we'll be focusing on the engine work.

Yes.

But at the end of the day, this is a hobby, and Unity is an awesome engine to work with. I'm following Godot more closely than ever, but too much effort to still be able to call it fun would be necessary to port this over.

Absolutely, that's the main goal. I've built my cabinet over 10 years ago, so testing is assured. ;)

Aw, thanks :)

TBH I just started looking into it, together with a few other developers from the community. I'll post something at the usual place as soon as we know more.

It depends on the effort you want to put in, and the tables you want to play.

VPX has the largest table collection, and the good ones play very well. But there is also Pinball FX which is a lot easier to set up, and they are catching up in terms of cabinet support (we're helping them, the next thing is force feedback support).

There is also Future Pinball which runs a few original games with mods pretty well now, but it's still closed source.
