To be honest, I’ve played many AI-made games with incredible designs, and you could only tell they were AI because you had seen the same model used in other games , so I totally get you. But when I started this project, my idea was always to have one or more real artists behind it… even if it cost me an arm and a leg. In the end, it’s basically my child, and I want the best for it. And I truly feel that games made with real artists behind them have much more soul, and that’s what I’m mainly looking for.
As for the artist, I only started looking recently, and I’ve actually found a pretty good one that I can work with little by little (so I don’t completely ruin myself overnight). I couldn’t really explain all of this here, but on my other socials I’ve tried to be very clear about my intentions and about the fact that, for now, the game is made with AI. Even though some people have complained, there’s not much I can do until the final designs start coming in...
The Lewdgames thing was honestly very improvised Later realized there were more tags, but as long as no one complains…
Thank you so much for your comment, really. The truth is that even though they’re placeholders, I spent quite some time playing around with the AI to find designs I liked, and I’m pretty happy with the result (especially the mermaids THEY ARE GORGEOUS!).
) Anyways.. best of luck with your project. I like the graphics as is. Hopefully you can find a hybrid approach that works well for you !
