Generated tracks

You see people like PylonDude with descriptions like 'I generate tracks because I can't draw'. Isn't drawing what FRHD is all about? That's like running for president and rigging the poles 'because I can't run for president properly.'

 

I honestly think they should just to see what could come out of this. Who knows what kinds of possibilities could be created using generated tracks.

 

i think if someones genned their own art or makes stuff like zeke15, they should be fine; everything else should get hidden unless its got a good reason not to be

 

Yes they should be allowed. Some of the funnest tracks I’ve ever played were generated.

 

it depends, i think autogen art is pretty dumb and shouldn't be allowed most of the time but there are other kinds of track generation which are cool and worth keeping

 

I like them, so I think they should stay, only if it doesn't get out of hand.

 

Stig you always gotta be a hypocrite

NANI?!? How can u debate this YES!

It depends entirely on the context of the generated track in my opinion. I have generated a ton of tracks in the past, some published, some just for my own experimentation. I think using an image to track generator to convert some random image from the web isn't okay. I also think that unless you can make your own generator, you shouldn't be genning tracks. Just like it is wrong to copy someone else's track, using their generator is essentially the same as copying.

For example, I published a track called Scioto that used an image to track generator, however I took the photo, edited it, and treated it as my won artwork. I also spent hours coding the generator itself. In publishing that track, every ounce of work was still my own so I think it is okay. Using another persons generator, another person's image, or outright spamming tracks, that is not okay.

I've been around long enough to see where generators can get out of hand and I try to avoid that. I think the focus shouldn't be about stopping generators, it should be about stopping the abuse of them.

 

Image generation = lewds!! Why would u not want it, also i don’t think it would take hours to code a gen, I made my first working version in about 15 mins

 

Lewds?

 

Lewd is like nsfw(not safe for work) or “adult” content

 

1. No one calls them lewds, and 2. That would fall under the whole abuse thing I was talking about. If I wanted to stare at tiddies, then I wouldn't be doing it in FreeRider

 

Yes people call them lewds and I would never give up an opportunity to stare at tiddies

 

This came out sounding really weird sorry lol

 

Wtf

 

People who generate tracks should be BANNED
