you can make something similar to a gameboy, something it is obviously inspired by the gameboy, but you cant make something that is derivative of a gameboy or use trademarks
inspiration = ok
derivative = not ok unless you have the rights to the works you are making a derivative of
thats really because it is only able to imitate the robot apocolypse stories that it knows, the bulk of which are old hat.
and if real human beings dont write new robot acocalypse stories that become part of the dataset these imitation engines use, then it will never be able to write anything but what it can write now.

i have gotten good results hiring human artists on fiverr.
only issue i can see with the ai taking over artist's jobs in the long term is if someone makes an ai art algorithm that is actually creative.
what we have now is imitative, not creative. if humans stop creating new art, there will be nothing new added to the dataset, and generative ai art will have nothing new to imitate.
safe to submit to OGA as an asset? it depends on how you created the image. i am not admin or the most knowledgeable about the legalities and definition of a derivative, so take what i say here as it is: my opinion.
derivative means it is derived from something else. did you trace the original spaceman head? did you resize the spaceman head and adjust the pixels to look good at low res? in other words, did you use the actual image of the original spaceman in the actual composition of the new spaceman. if yes, than it is a derivative work.
samesies on the pattern problem. although i dont think its necessarily a problem as such.
listen to popular music throughout modern history, and it's ALL repeating patterns.
take this:
do-re-fa-la-re
do-re-fa-la-re
do-re-fa-la-re
do-do-re-la-do
first three lines are just repetition of a simplle minimelody, fourth line is a resolution of that melody ending with the same note that started the melody.
now take that same melody, mix it up a little, see if it sounds good (assuming first one sounded goood XD) and you have two patterns. repeat these two patterns to make a sort of meta-pattern X. now try to make a breakdown pattern -- a tempo change, or a another resolution pattern, call this Y.

you just wrote a pop song! here is your golden record, thanks for all the fish!
1) what am i going for? A - do i want to make something in specific style or B - do i just wanna riff around and see what sounds good.
if A then proceed, if B then just do whatever i want.
2) pick a mode that fits that style.
3) come up with a hook or signature riff
4) make the rest of the song around that hook, usually i write in a verse chorus verse chorus style cuz i come from a punk band background.
as far as instruments and synths i will play around with different stuff. i use midi so i can plug in diff instruments to see how they sound.
for the variety question -- i fail at this. my music is usually pretty steady repition of what i hope is catchy hook. this comes from the punk band background i think.

safe to use in your game? most likely yes.

were these animated with mixamo?
they are probably just better than us :)

YES! just in time for the summer jam too!
i have been wanting to use your space merc redux and dead gunner redux assets, and now you have forced my hand. i know what i must do for summer jam.
great job.
good discussion prompt.
so i usually go through these steps:
1) what am i going for? A - do i want to make something in specific style or B - do i just wanna riff around and see what sounds good.
if A then proceed, if B then just do whatever i want.
2) pick a mode that fits that style.
3) come up with a hook or signature riff
4) make the rest of the song around that hook, usually i write in a verse chorus verse chorus style cuz i come from a punk band background.

it looks like stone soup to me
though now i look more, some the doors looks like its deriv from 32x32 orthogonal
