Not sure about the virus rumors but I still tried it and I like the AI art if that's an okay thing to say...

I like this game a great deal.
I've written this in regards to the art in Alchemist Mina and The Shopkeeper: AI art is fine if it's the tool and not the focus. I get some people have strong opinions about AI overuse and I completely agree that there's a line where it becomes stupid, but on the flipside if it's useful as a tool to allow people to actually do some of the things they won't be able to otherwise, then go for it.
I thought the itch.io direct download was actually the 0.1.19 build though it doesn't say that on the package...

I really enjoyed this. Light management, great art, fun characters. I'm looking forward to future updates.
I was wondering why i couldn't recruit the Minotaur, Cowgirl or Orc even though i had room available for them and it wasn't until i check the gallery and they were asterisked out as not available yet.
I also wish i could level the characters quicker, wether that means the nun appears more often or maybe just more xp per customer (2 rather than 1?).

Or something like a once-in-a-while event where everyone gets double XP, like some big-shot group of customers comes to town. Ties in with the idea of leveling up the waiting area and so forth.
Totally unrelated to that, I have a bug -
If buildy guy comes by to build and upgrade something, and you lack the funds but say "yes" he says he can't do it and he leaves, NEVER TO RETURN. This is too much realism in the game.
tell me when the AI content drops to near 0 and ill give it a try

You are obviously welcome to this opinion.
I for one am happy to see more of these types of games, but I'm also biased towards management-based games and I always feel like there could be better ones. This one's actually quite promising. I do hope the dev continues to work on it and develop it further.

I've said it once and I'll say it again - I understand people not liking AI-based art, but if the underlying game is good and the AI is a tool and not the point of the game, then I don't see a problem with it. If you limit the development of games exclusively to people who can actually churn out hand-drawn art you're going to crush the development possibilities for many developers trying to get off the ground.
I -despise- AI as a crutch, but I support it as a tool. Seems self-contradictory, but I look at it this way: use AI to help polish a character design? Great. Prompt AI to write a game for you? Not great.
But hey, that's just like my opinion man.
AI art is fundamentally broken considering how it comes to be, if you use it as a reference its fine, but if i can tell you used AI in any way then you failed. The dev said they used AI to speed up the project, considering it was made for a jam and that they are slowly getting rid of it as they keep working on it, which is something i highly respect. Im not going to play a game that uses AI assets just like im not going to play a game that is filled with bugs, it would distract me too much to enjoy it. Once they are done replacing the AI assets ill be trying the game out.
Man single-handedly kills development of all games that have no art, have AI art, use real porn, DAZ3D renders, HoneySelect renders and everything else that isn't custom made 3D models or hand drawn art (so like 80% of games here). On the other hand I kinda agree with him, although some AI is fine, but I like games with animations, which AI on it's own is shit at, so you know, at least make nice AI renders and animate them with Live2D, but just AI renders and nothing else? Hell I'll take RPGMaker game like hazumi with 2-3 picture slideshows instead.
