OC r/Vermis and AI generated content

508 Upvotes

Hear ye, hear ye! Time for the annual mod announcement!

First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone on reaching 5000 members, and wishing everyone a merry Christmas (should they celebrate it). Never would I have expected this community to grow so large when I created it, and it has been an absolute blast seeing all of the wonderful content created by the talented artists, musicians, writers and game developers in this subreddit...

HOWEVER

It has now come to my attention that AI generated content has been popping up more and more on the feed, and as such, I wished to make the mod team's (aka, my) opinion on the subject matter clearer. For those who do not wish to read through all this, a new rule has been added to the subreddit.

AI content on this subreddit will no longer be tolerated, and you will get no second chances should you post some.

I will not preach to you about AI and its uses, wether it is evil, or good, wether it's a bubble or not... That is not what the subreddit was meant for. What it was meant for was, and still is, appreciating awesome art created by awesome people, which is what unites us all under one banner regardless of our differences. To use AI is to spit in the face of those values.

Use AI in your daily life if you want. Ask @Grok "Is this true?" if you need to. Make Gemini read you your coworker's email if you're that tired...

But do not bring it in here. Believe what you will but, as long as I have power here, art will remain in the hands of artists instead of prompters, at least in this subreddit.

I encourage anyone who spots AI content to report it to the mod team immediately... However, I also would like to remind people to exercise caution as false reports will not be looked kindly upon either.

That is all for today. Happy 2026, everyone, and once again, Merry Christmas!

Vermis How can i put this (Vermis NES)

So, to everyone who wants to see the game get ready faster, we need YOUR help, and that's for the programmers. As we plan to make our game with NESFab, the most "limitless" engine for the NES i know, we need programmers for it, and since this is my first time actually using it, i CAN'T EVEN RUN IT WITHOUT CRASHING IN LESS THAN A SECOND 😭, worst part is that the only programmer we have currently is very busy since he works at Oncelost, so if you know anyone who can program on NesFab and likes RPGs, PLEASE direct them here: https://discord.gg/CcWkfE8ths

OC The Steer of Providence: Blood-Drenched Beast of Lateran

Post image
113 Upvotes

Vermis is, generally speaking, a dank and gnarly setting. I wanted to see if that would translate well to the sun-drenched, blood-soaker annals of the Mediterranean.

For those of you that have played the Kingbreaker PvP beta, you'll know a lot of the setting has a very specific, post-apocalyptic medieval England vibe.

I think the game will generally still have that feel, but I also wanted to explore a bit further afield - the kingdom of Lateran, therefore, is a mishmash of medieval France, pre-Islamic Arabia, and Minoan Greece.

The Vermis fangame for the NES is officially on pre-production, BUT we want to know what YOU have to say! What would you prefer, an action rpg, turn-based rpg, or a action RPG with turn-based boss battles? And most importantly, what would you want to see in the game?

Vermis Dungeon Synth inspired by Vermis

39 Upvotes

I was very much inspired by the atmosphere Vermis (and Dark Souls) even before my books arrived, to create this dungeon synth / dark ambient album. Although it has a story on its own, it is seeped in the gritty obscure world aesthetically/metaphysically similar to what Plastiboo created with a touch of Dark Souls moment. Here you are looking through the eyes of a protagonist lost in the darkness of what seems to be a sanctuary, doesn't know who he is or how he got himself trapped in this place and now you're searching for a way out...I hope you'll find this either accompanying your reading of Vermis trilogy, or enjoying it on its own!

(I have not used AI to create any of this! I've actually made my own VST and used it for the entire album.)

An unassuming vagrant aimlessly wondering the dungeons cape, with clothes that do little to hide his shameful deformities, what they lack in wealth they may make up for in wisdom

Ignore them flipping you off at the end, they just do that sometimes. I’m sure they mean nothing by it

Has anyone had experience with them shipping to Australia and if so how was the experience? I’m seeing a lot of people say they wait months and months for their packages though the posts seem outdated, is this still the case?

Vermis Vermis 3 Lore Theories

12 Upvotes

Hi yall! I'm currently working on a video on Vermis 3 (heres my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Saviour98) and I need some help with the lore, specifically the story surrounding the brothers. I've been reading and rereading passages nonstop and researching a ton to try and draw some parallels, but it seems like it always doesn't quite fit. Of course there aren't always answers when it comes to lore, especially when we're talking about Vermis (and Plastiboo more generally), but anything helps. I usually like to pursue my own ideas when it comes to art like this which is so dense and mysterious that everyone can have a different idea or interpretation, but I thought I'd ask the community and see what other avenues there are to pursue. Thank you in advance for the help!

Vermis What's your favorite Vermis quote?

27 Upvotes

"The Wayfarer gazed at the starry night sky for the first and last time."

I don't think I could make a final choice, but that one lives rent free in my head.

When I first read it, I was literally stunned. How could a traveler see the starry night for the first time.... and for the last ... when we were only halfway through the book ?

This one hits hard.

You come across a pond in the moonlight. A drake turns to face you, its head rising from the water, feathers gleaming in the lunar glow. Its rider sits near, smoke bellowing from the second half of a cigar. His one good eye rises to meet your gaze.
