The idea of the character is to be an elite sniper, he will stay hidden shooting from long distances and causing large amounts of damage but with a low rate of fire and with little ammunition in the magazine, being able to switch to a rapid-fire pistol for close-range combat when necessary. The character's gameplay will be to stay on top of buildings shooting at enemies from afar, for this the falloff must have a large range so that the character does not lose damage by shooting from afar since that is the character's objective.

The M2 could have a scope that you could zoom in on by scrolling the mouse wheel, similar to the scope of the vindicta ultimate but with the ability to zoom.

I don't find this idea fitting a deadlock undead noir style for this game, it's too scifi

The image is just a concept, it is not adapted to the game's graphic style.

It would look more or less like this in the game, but the devs can change its appearance as they wish.

Using generative AI to make your concept hero is the quickest way to get it ignored

It's so AI and out of game style still

It's so AI and out of game style still

I don't see any problem with the image being generated by AI, it's faster and more practical, besides there are characters that are practically the same but with different colors, if it's not in the style of the game then there are several characters that aren't either, even because the image was generated based on the style of a character in the game, but that's okay, the character's appearance is not important, what matters are the character's skills and statistics. You are giving attention to something unnecessary.

Then why generate an image of a character, valve doesn't appreciate this kind of thing

Valve doesn't appreciate what exactly? That players use all the tools available to create the best possible feedback with illustrative images that show how they imagine their characters? What you're saying doesn't even make sense.

 

[IgorNL]

You have an incomprehensible hatred and prejudice towards AI, what difference does it make if it was generated by an AI or by a person? The result will be the same, in fact it will even be better because I wouldn't make an image as good as the AI did, since I've never worked with image creation.

 

[IgorNL]

If I have a free tool available for me to use and improve my feedback showing how I imagine my character, there is no reason not to use it, AI only brings advantages.

 

[IgorNL]

And you shouldn't go around saying what Valve likes or doesn't like, if it doesn't like it it will speak out, you don't need to speak out for it, you shouldn't make your words Valve's words.

It does, an AI isn't a legitimate tool to design a character, keep arguing it won't change the fact valve doesn't appreciate that

 

[M.V42]

And you shouldn't go around saying what Valve likes or doesn't like, if it doesn't like it it will speak out, you don't need to speak out for it, you shouldn't make your words Valve's words.

This is based off of valve not allowing AI technology as a method for development or design in video games on their platforms

Of course, because using AI to create a game and sell it to other people is the same as using it to create an image to give feedback that will hardly be added to the game, you are crazy.

 

[IgorNL]

Your prejudice blinds you.
