I get why people miss the old style — it had a unique vibe, for sure. But let’s just call it what it is: AI assets. I’m using them because, realistically, I wouldn’t have been able to finish the game without them. It’s not just about visuals, though — I’m trying to build something fun and interesting overall. The tools I use are just a means to an end. I still care a lot about the game itself and want it to feel like mine, even if some of the pieces come from outside help.
Yeah sure the old artwork was very good but I like the new as well. Its still a lighthearted funny and sexy game. Best of luck!

I respect that you are honest about the reason for using AI assets. If it works for you, then I guess it's all good. If the alternative really was to not actually finish the game, then using whatever means available to speed up progress does sound like a no brainer.
I just want to mention that, even as someone who just saw the game for the first time today and has no attachment to it, I think your own art style feels so much nicer than the AI CGs you've shown. Even if you try to compare in terms of shading or "realism" and think AI does it better, people's own art styles have something that generic AI cannot easily replicate. It's not easy to explain, but I'm sure you understand what I mean. It's not really something you can compare using objective metrics.
If you're hell-bent on still using AI image generation, I'd at least look into better models/loras so that the output is not as painfully generic as what you've shown so far. This type of AI cg is kinda painful to look at in 2025, and there are enough tools nowadays to do considerably better than that.
Also, if you're planning on replacing the existing art, I'd ask to keep a link of the last version with your own art available, even if only out of respect of your own art.

Yeah, my older version with the original art is still up on Newgrounds, so it’s not going anywhere. I know a lot of people connected with that style, and I respect that. The truth is, I’m working with limited resources — both in terms of time and hardware. I don’t have access to all the tools or high-end models, so I’m doing what I can within a small budget and what my current setup can handle.

I'LL SAY IT: I do hope the old art comes back or you make new art. I was a fan of it
I hope to ask some other questions if you have the time.
If there is a main ending and sounds like a quest after going back, what will be added? Brand new areas? New world with new races?
Will there be any corrections to your current assist? The frog scenes, I have what looked like the tongues merging.
Will there be anymore QoL updates? Personally I hate the screen shake during the scenes.
Will there be new characters, either MC or NPCs?
Talked about possible job endings, what about characters to romance?
Sorry to ask a lot but wanted to know what any of this looks like from a dev standpoint. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for the interest — I really appreciate it!
There will be new locations to visit. Some are already marked on the map, like the penguin on the rock and the dragon skeleton, and a few more will be added later.
As for the AI images, like the frog scenes — I originally planned to replace them with animations. But that might take a while… For now, I’ve added a lot of different versions to keep things feeling fresh and a bit surprising.
About characters — well, Synthia (the cat girl) is supposed to get her own game one day, but she might show up here first. In this one, I mainly wanted to hint that she’ll be more important later, rather than just saying “she doesn’t know about the artifact.”but well I didn't
Job endings are planned — they’re easier to implement. As for romance… honestly, I’m not sure yet how to handle that. Right now, I just wanted to get the game to a playable and somewhat complete state.
I'm always happy to talk about the dev side of things, so feel free to ask more if you’re curious!

Hey, quick update — I’ve decided to shift plans a bit.
Instead of continuing the “egg” storyline right away, I’ll be focusing on a new game titled Chosen of Xixrelk: Curse of Pheromones.
Why the change? Honestly, the original idea might have ended up causing more frustration than excitement. If I followed through with it as planned, I feel like it would've just led to mixed reactions — and I'd rather work on something that's more fun, surprising, and a better experience overall (not to mention, less obviously tied to AI-generated assets).
So yeah, this new project will be smaller in scope, but hopefully a better fit for now.

Why the swap to AI? Your previous art looked much better, it had a unique style and was very erotic. AI art lacks emotion and thus is never erotic as once you've seen one AI art you've seen them all
