The developer might be trying to copy what the other game "Starmaker Story" did, it's just that this dev isn't doing it as well.
Someone saw that comment about making pixel art by just downscaling an AI image and took it literally, without any additional postprocessing, or even carefully picking a proper model/lora. They picked the most generic vanilla model :KEK:

What's honestly worse, is that they looked at the shit results they got, and went "eh, good enough, let's release it". In brand with most AI devs I guess....

So few AI devs actually try to do a good job, but the few that do, from my experience seem to be exceptional, and or course produce greater quantity of content compared to traditional devs.

Seems to be using regular (maybe AI) art and then pixelating it.
That's exactly what they're doing, the all the dev had to do was make the images less blurry, simply changing how the pixelation process affected his images would've fix the problems.

I've used stable diffusion a bit here and there and I get what they're doing and what they've done wrong. When you shrink an image, it makes it more pixelated. For AI art, shrinking is really good at obfuscating some of the wonkier elements. Like eyes and hands. But if all you do is shrink, you just get a blurry image. You have to sharpen the image with a photoshop app and it helps to clean the image up a little by hand too.

AI will give you exactly what you put in. You can spend a day refining a single generated image until it's fully polished or you can spend five minutes generating a hundred equally mediocre generated images.
atp wouldnt it be easier to just learn to draw lmao
