Darkest Dungeon SDXL

Do NOT ask what happened to versions 004 through 009

This version aims to solve a number of problems with previous versions:

• Too little variety in generation because of a small, uniform dataset

• Outputs occasionally look "low-resolution" because of the game's sprites being made at slightly less than 1024x1024

• Too little interoperability with other LoRAs / base models

This is done by adding a new dataset trained on frames selected from the game's two opening cinematics, and improving the quality of the existing dataset.

Known limitations with this version:

• No longer very good at generating the game's iconic "Afflicted" scenes

• Will often generate jagged edges, and is very biased towards creating deciduous trees

Short keyword dictionary:

• DDCinematic - accesses the new dataset trained on the game's opening movies

  • DDAncestor - tries to create a likeness of the Ancestor - not tested very much

• DDAreaCove - tries to create the Cove, seems inconsistent

• DDAreaRuins - same but with the Ruins

• DDAreaWarrens - same but with the Warrens

• DDAreaWeald - same but with the Weald

• DDAreaNone - tries to create a likeness of the Hamlet or the Darkest Dungeon as depicted from the game's title screen

• DDHero<HERO_NAME_HERE> (e.g. DDHeroGraveRobber) - tries to generate the likeness of a specific hero - seems relatively inconsistent?

The preview images are a little single-minded, so I'm eager to see what people can do with creative prompting, different base models and LoRA-mixing!

To-do list for the dataset in future versions:

• The Flagellant, Shieldbreaker and Musketeer once I get their relevant DLCs

• General graphics of the Crimson Court, Colour of Madness and Butcher's Circus DLCs

• Darkest Dungeon 2

  • The Runaway

  • The Duelist
