Disclosure of use of AI / LLM tools and plans for complete removal of AI contributions (Red Crown Archives) agameminer.wordpress.com/2026/08/17/d...

I have been informed on the negatives of AI / LLMs (Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude, generative AI) regarding the fact that it steals code, research, creates isolation compared to researching through the community, as well as the fact that at it already steals natural resources like drinkable water without much distinction.
I have removed any and all LLM scripts from my workflow and will not use them anymore. Moving forward, I will export game data / datamine without any use of LLMs, after which I will erase any game data touched by LLMs from Red Crown Archives. If any LLM-aided research was recorded, it will be erased. The folders confirmed to not have AI will have a checkmark (✓).
Games where they were used: Hotel Dusk, Last Window (Game Data only).
Scripts used:
• Crop images
• Crop out bad details
• Merge images
• Export two formats in batch to PNG which we already knew how to do without AI (BPG, EBP)
• Resolve conflicts between textures when adding multiple Melonripper models in one model because all use the same naming scheme
• Convert a 3D model format (GLTF) to the other safely (DAE) since vertex colors get removed on Blender and I don't know why (I tried other tools and none seemed to work, if anyone know how to preserve vertex colors in Color Attribute nodes when exporting Melonripper please contact me)
• Checks of integrity (md5 audits)
• Make a tree TXT
• Check what colors are suitable for a sprite sheet background (Only the user chooses which to apply, themselves)
• Re-export GIFs and APNGs in batch because of an incident.
These scripts were used on the interval from 2025-2026.
Those who already read my Journals, also know that I used an LLM in 2023 to try to find clues about Last Window's Debug Menu, but thankfully nothing came out of it.

My journal never had any information obtained with AI, only confessions about using it.
If there is a need to do so, these details of the Journal will also be erased.
Not only that, any code that was obtained with AI and introduced into KyleHyde, was replaced with code from the dev, jas2o, in 2023. In the words of the developer himself:
"Given how against AI I've been and how I changed some parts that got merged in, I consider AI to have no influence on the tool."
In Kyle's Briefcase, I will share sprites and models that are at usable formats, but unmodified, for added credibility of no AI use.
I apologize to everyone who is disappointed in hearing about these news, and of me. I should've stopped long ago, as I've poured 10 years into this work.
I hope that through these actions, the Archives and the community will be spared of any issues moving forward.
Signed,
Adrot (16 August 2026)

Tidbits from the book: - JP gameplay shows Richard's American surname in the environment. - Dialogue reveals how Michael Crusoe was found. - JP Chapter 8 references the DS puzzle that was teasing the sequel: TOYOUOF16YEARS

The 3D Locations of Hotel Dusk are now available at Models Resource! I've done it! You can use your modern smartphone or PC to zoom into a location, and look inside. models.spriters-resource.com/ds_dsi/hotel... #hoteldusk #wishroom #ウィッシュルーム

I DID IT! I SUBMITTED THE FIRST HOTEL DUSK MAP YEARS AGO AND GOT REJECTIONS (BLAME BLENDER FOR GASLIGHTING ME ON EXPORTS), BUT NOW THE BAR + ITS EXAMINATION AREAS ARE APPROVED AT THE MODELS RESOURCE! THAT MEANS THE REST CAN BE SUBMITTED TOO! I'M SO HAPPY! models.spriters-resource.com/ds_dsi/hotel...

A 3D preview of the Bar from Hotel Dusk. Anyone that uses a PC or smartphone can preview the model. It is recommended to zoom in, either with the scroll wheel or with multitouch, to look inside the rooms.

Red Crown Archives now has FIXED all of its Animated PNGs across the Kyle Hyde Saga´s characters and Events, and are now set at 7.52 FPS, making them the exact speed as the game's 7.5FPS! Take that, GIF! Hopel Dusk's Opening's structure has also been altered for ease of use.

I know folks want more, cause Hotel Dusk feels very close to complete, but I really wanna work on something else right now, so I'll put this on the side and work on FEZ. My passion has been rekindled for that game... I'll leave you with an extra little teaser, Another Code / Trace Memory fans...

Happy birthday, Another Code: Recollection! It's been 2 years since the game's release! I have added game data to Red Crown Archives, from Ashley's 3D Models, to Backlog Character Portraits, Character Detail Portraits, Items, Maps, Talk Icons (Character Emojis) and Title Screen.

Acecraft is so disappointing in that the shmup gameplay, art, design and music have a feel of care akin to Cuphead, only to then be flashbanged by 300 daily gacha features that take MINUTES in getting over with (gotta level up your everythings) before ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.

Why I can't see him, I am European... This is so weird. #lastwindow

It seems that for some people, Last Window IS visible on their NIntendo Today app.

Adrot @adrot.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

N-Nintendo...? Is there someone you forgot to mention today...? #Cing #lastwindow #hoteldusk

In the "Games released today" section of the Nintendo Today apo, there is a random copyright that mentions Cing. This coincides with the release of Last Window, yet the game is not visible on the page.

Happy 16th birthday, Last Window! I uncovered an unexpected number of unused sprites! Here you go!

Been shown an article from @sourcegaming.info on Louis DeNonno (sourcegaming.info/2021/11/25/c...), gotta say I was enjoying the read. The only thing I'd like to comment was regarding the end (Shown in pic 1). I attached in Pic 2 and 3 my theories about why Nile stopped pursuing Louis. Basically...

Let's not forget all these folks who helped build the Cing archive directly and indirectly! Their contributions have been vital to the community, as well as our Ko-Fi donators.

10 years of Cing preservation! Some of the things to come: -A timeline/journal detailing the progress of datamining and archiving Cing games and more since 2015. -More Hotel Dusk sprites + speedrunning guide. -3D models on The Models Resource? (pls God). Thanks for your support!

...Going slightly below the red cars makes you immune to their hurtbox, and buildings around still have outlines. Those outlines can create flickers of black if am not mistaken. And boy, that "hedgehog outfit" in front of the kids. It's like a clash of polish that's usual of the Atari name lately.

Adrot @adrot.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

That Bubsy 4D demo is intriguing. Outlines still appear in cutscenes diespite disabling them. Depending where you are, you can screw up Bubsy's cutscene angle, the third stage suddenly had Bubsy walk veeryy slowly, the instant respawn can be dangerous if you are near a body of water downhill...

And that is not all for Last Window! I datamined the Events and Search Areas of the game in a half-year long effort to get as much stuff out as possible from the game! More will come... Last Window Events: mega.nz/folder/dOIjV... Last Window Search Areas: spriters-resource.com/ds_dsi/lastw...

IT'S CONFIRMED! @kanayan2929 is releasing a new game, ''Dear me, I was...''! AND IT USES ROTOSCOPING LIKE IN HOTEL DUSK! We are so back. Coming only on Switch 2, short length, and possibly less than 10$.
