Firstly - what Discord channel ????? I vaguely remember there was one waaaayy back (pre-Novilon) didn't think it was still active
Secondly, I had already asked this (
go back a page) since - if you couldn't guess by now - I've been experimenting with Stable Diffusion to try & produce graphics for myself to try and learn how to make suitable scenes based on the current gameplay.
[
FYI, The way I've currently been working is by playing through then seeing where IMHO there seems to be a lot of text but no graphics (I've already mentioned a couple of areas that I'm working on myself)]
Other areas that I've just thought of atm that seem a bit devoid of graphics are
- In the park while at the swings (there's a couple of scenes with Cream on the swings & either Sonic is on the bench or pushing her),
- In the Mall there's no 'visuals' for when you get Icecream/special icecream - on subject of special icecream there's nothing for when you do eat it back home
- Buying stuff in electronics store (although not a lot can happen there anyway)
- In Arcade (apart from the Bike ride) when playing the other games (grabbing her ankles for example while playing dance game)
I guess by recycling existing graphics we could make them a little more 'visually appealing' instead of a blank background picture - like when character are chatting...

oh and of course there's probably a requirement for replacement AI graphics for the existing 'handdrawn' ones like when peeking in changing room
There's also the problem of 'keeping a style' consistently throughout the game, after all - compare my version & the one you posted & you'll see mine is a completely different in style to yours which looks more like 'cartoon/comic' style to me
(this is why I asked in earlier post what people were using to make AI... but everyone was using something different in SD, FYI I've been using Novafurry in my attempts)
We've already got 3-4 'styles' in place (Avalon/Novaca, ShadowWordPorn, .....) that are all different in some way (Avalon/Novaca are the most similar to each other) so when playing you're gonna see a mashup of graphics
For example (if I figure it out right) right at the beginning of game when you 'skip the intro' you could probably see these graphics IF you had all graphics styles active at the same time
USELESS BIT OF INFO: FYI my research shows that there's currently 167 AvalonX graphics,55 SWP, (so far) 13 Novaca graphics and 160.... currently in use in the game
