The character models will be the same, they'll just be drawn by me.

An example of how the cgs would look:
I see you went full change of style. I think what 렌파이ntr meant was to keep the actual model and style. The look is completely different now, not at all like what the demo portrayed. I was assuming that when you said you were keeping the anime style for the characters that you were keeping the same look and style for them. I wouldn't call this anime style at all like it was before.

But the characters will continue in the anime style. But they'll be drawn by me.
I could see if you kept what was rendered in AI and painted over it to change it a bit, but this is... I don't know man. When I played the demo I was stoked, now I'm just not really impressed with where its going. The story premise was very intriguing too. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm bashing it but it no longer has an exciting look that matched with the demo story. Maybe you intend for it to be a more light hearted game like I said before?

The question of whether it's light or not will depend a lot on how the public receives the next updates. After all, the game is only at the beginning and a lot can change, be added or taken away.

As for the designs, messing around with AI is a pain and I prefer to do my own drawings. And improve them over time. That way I'll have more control over poses, clothes and expressions.

Not to mention that by creating my own designs, I'll give my game an identity. After all, I don't want it to be just a bunch of cg AI being thrown at the screen. I hope you understand that.

I understand. The demo is what drew me in, if I had seen what you have changed to now from the start I'd probably have skipped right over it. I guess seeing the demo and then seeing what you are changing it to just felt like a bait and switch. This isn't your fault, like you explained before you wanted to get a quick product demo out there and I guess you used AI as a placeholder. I would have picked a different AI model that fit more with the cartoon style you have now though to generate the placeholders, there are plenty out there. As it is now people see what's on the first page and then when they come back they are going to wonder if they even saw the same game. Again not your fault, you did explain your position before with using the AI gens as placeholder.

I think maybe you should add a note to the main post though that what is shown is not how the product will look in the future and that the look and style is just AI generated placeholder.
