I think more people prefer the background characters to have the AI generated style (I also clean up and make changes to the images). I've had some people even ask me if my art would get replaced with these "improved models."Will there be a way to switch back to the chibi art used for generic NPCs instead of the AI art. Always found AI art far more jarring in comparison to every other character compared to the chibi but I'll probably get used to it if that's not ideal
Also, needless to say, being able to generate images makes my workload infinitely easier and allows me to massively increase the scope of the game. More backgrounds, more NPCs, and more CG to bolster the current content. I don't even have enough of the chibi art to keep using it anyway.
