Hi folks,

I look for some open / free to use (commercial products) generated sound / music AI generation tool that I can run locally on common consummer hardware. I would like to iterate faster on prototyping apps / games without the hassle of searching / currating / cropping / transcoding audio media content.

I do not always need high quality content and do not want to mind if I forgot update media with copyright issues in my dev workflows before publishing.

Nothing very serious though, I just explore simple game dev at the moment and want to focus on game concepts instead of media content management.

any link / suggestion (it could be a 2 steps cli to search -> download from a free sound / music bank) welcome.

Hi folks. Few month ago, I found a desktop local first software to generate image from prompts using my gpu. It's called noiselith. Today it has completely gone from what I can find on internet and I have no clues why. I think they were using open source image models like stable diffusion, so I don't really know why they disapeared.

Am I just not able to find where it is now? is there good alternatives (I don't find some and I am surprised), Is there some sort of legal issues with such kind of software ?

Thank you for any information about this.

I look for studies that discuss about messages lengths and communication efficiency and the relation if any with nowdays messaging usages compared with previous generation habits.

Any thoughts, sourcesor suggestions are welcome.

GTA V does it good : when ingame hardware is used at maximum capacities, when game menu open (pause / escape) hardware (GPU / CPU) consumption is 3-10 times lower and when game is alt-tabed, hardware consumption is near 0 (excepted data loaded in memory). When I run some other games (Monster Hunter World at least) Hardware consumption is always 100%(or 100% of what requires 30-60 fps).

I wonder if some kind of norms exists in game engines / best practice in video game world to make this feature more generic (I'd like to avoid killing extra polar bears when playing).

I think lowering consumption in games could be done automatically or with a manual option

Any sources / ideas / suggestions ?
