......if the next game is going to be completely AI I'm 1000% not going to play it. Fuck that shit. Also, ugh, lesbian and straight crap in it, too? There's more than enough straight and lesbian VN's out there. To say I'm disappointed about this news is a massive understatement.
Mmm is true that this game has a gay MC but the world around him is not gay at all (only homoerotic), so it hints that the developers are not into doing gay stuff exclusively. I don't think im going to play their next project since i'm not bisexual but for bi people this is a win i guess, probably a game where women are not as sexualized as the other games in this forum. Also having like 4 MC idk, this multiprotagonist thing is something i always hated in narrative games, but well, if the game won't be as tedious as this one and maybe a lot more short we can exclusively play it for the lore and understanding everything better, since is a game with a heavy lore focus more than romance. (at least this one, i mean we can all agree that the game focus on crafting, storytelling and rpg elements and delegates romance to a second place) We can think that maybe the next one will be the same, with a high storytelling focus and the romance being only optional. Another thought, i don't mind the use of AI, is the world now, everyone is obssessed with AI, if you just saw CES you know what i mean, using AI in a supportive role in this kind of indie games is not a problem to me, obviously doing all the game in AI would be a terrible decision, maybe a symbiosis is the way to go, idk using AI to improve the 3d renders and stuff like that since they don't have the budget of idk Activision or even giving full voice to the text lines, you know using AI for QoL purposes.
