Actually there was a complete version of Breeding Season. They decided to do a revamp that only made it partway through before spurple gutted the game and ran off with the assets (to start his own game which has become almost the prime example of development limbo and patron milking).

boblicticious Then, is this the "complete" version or the "revamp"? Because I might [unironically] learn something new about the original today.
Honestly I don't really think that's the biggest problem with AI, more that non-artists relying on prompts are too intimidated by the idea that they don't have talent to ever engage with the art, to where they never look into composition or any kind of theory, which is what leaves the great rendering you can get out of AI so unappealing.
Most don't even know that there are tools to fix consistency issues, they just assume the prompt handles everything.
So to criticize H-bomb, you could look at his Patreon banner for a noisy fractal wallpaper with text in a color that barely stands out from the background further obscured by even more random vibrant colors meant to accent the title, then covered in sprites with contrast turned to an 11, where every tiny piece of the image yanks at your eyes for attention.
It is, by all objective metrics, a terrible piece of art.
Meanwhile some prompters have actually put together very good art.
I haven't played the game itself but I follow the thread for Aphotic Side, where the developer has resolved issues with consistency while also painting over the mistakes like bad fingers, even following basic rules for composition like a real artist might, which had me initially questioning if it was AI.
Really I think the difficulty is in how AI is perceived by AI artists. A prompter can't just pick it up and equal a real artist, but it can also look good if pursued as a tool with actual skill.
Sadly, I don't think H-bomb is gonna get there.

1. Better hope the project isn't cursed by using that name.
2. At the very least, using A.I. to make alien girls isn't entirely a bad idea, since the uncanny factor and strange anatomy is already build-in.

Ai art is just bland and scary, not even considering all the stolen art and all that is involved with that. It's ironic that it only took like a month and now literally all AI art looks exactly the same, same shading, same gross style.

That's the revamp. I don't know if there are any existing copies of the original completed version before the revamp. I deleted every previous version each time a new update came out (not to mention it would have been like 2 hard drives ago). When they announced the revamp I don' think anyone expected that it would end up unfinished. They weren't doing something terribly groundbreaking, just adding story elements, some new static NPC's, and changing the artwork up a bit.
The original complete didn't have as many NPC characters, but it had all the breedable races fully implemented, all the traits were fully implemented, and it had an albeit short storyline event for when you paid off the debt and essentially beat the game.

I always leaned towards believing more into H-Bomb's story over what happened with the OG then S-Purple, especially considering the mess that is the new game by S-Purple, so was kind of excited to see a comeback, at the very least we could have been able to eventually tell who the real issue was. Yeah, this isn't it though. Even AI art aside, it really just feels like zero effort at all was put into this. It really feels like a novice programmers second project, second as in the one following the classic button just about every starter class teaches. Its really not good, and not what you would expect from a second game, even the writing isnt great. Like someone else said this really just feels like a cash grab using the title, and if so its a bit late.
At least now we know they were both responsible for the failure of the OG game, at least if this is actually H-bomb

Goddamn those Patreon rates for the comically bad alpha on offer. And people are buying into it. Well it's their money I guess.
Omg guys... just look at that horrendous psychedelic-looking "graphic design is my passion" title art and wordart-style title font... no ways u guys are falling for this suspiciously obvious scam

In the great debacle between H bomb and S purple, I was always more on the H bomb side, just sounded more plausible especially after the also broken bland piece of crap that S purple would go on to make, really smelled to high haven that S-purple went out of his way to fuck them over, i am going to reserve judgement on this game till it has some more content under its belt but it will be a good opportunity to judge h bomb on their own outside of s purple and see if they will be a problem too.
So it's a sequel to one of the greatest case studies into why not having a project manner is a terrible idea, made by the person ostensibly in charge of that trainwreck, with hefty pricing out of the gate, low effort AI "art" and the kind of overinflated scope that suggests he learned absolutely nothing from why the original BS devolved into a shambling wreck oozing out just enough content to keep the Patreon money flowing.
I don't know if a more spectacular amalgamation of red flags could be made on purpose.

H Bomb got his own mistakes but S Purple did it to kill the game to open a space for his own game which is way worse then BS.
I liked BS as it has everything without limits and I said them to use image series like comic pages rather then animations to cut the heavy animation load game needs. To ne honest, I don't get people who wants short and mediocre sex animations at breeding games. You just use quick breed option after you watched 2-3 of them. It's not about the animations but the idea.
I wish H Bomb just bring the BS to Unity and go on with just new artist or 3D or whatever. TBH he should go for 3D models in game engines with morphs for the art like Breeders of Nephelym even it will be not an open world, roaming game. Way easier then AI or handcrafted art as you need tons of art very fast.

You can. Just add the ignore filter and create a bookmark to that search page and it will always be filtered.

i think H-bomb wasnt the problem, there was an artist in the team name is Spurple he left team and started his own game, it was big dframa then because there was a lot of money for supporting the game and H-Bomb actually shown receipts snd his messages with Spurple showing he had no idea of Spurple almost exact copy of the game
now with the shuffling aside artist and new possibilities with AI generation im pretty excited for when this game is gonna go now if it fails H-bomb cant blame no one but himself

not a fan of this uncanny realistic AI art, but still glad that h-bomb is back. I still love the OG Breeding Season.
PS: After thinking for a while, I think I'm just gonna put it in my watchlist first until there is decent enough art.

Yeah I'm definitely not a fan of this AI model so many people use now. I can appreciate it eliminates the artist problem for game devs, but at the cost of it looking like...well this. Also as others said, that background just screams of red flags and scams.
