For me they look not better, more like "handdrawn" with sharper edges. But completely lifeless. Hope the dev skips that AI shit.
People like this A.I crap,you just have to look at some of the A.I so called art in the fan art thread on this site.
You lose all sense of depth and realism with those.
AI does NOT produce attractive imagery and using AI enhancement on a render removes the realism from it, rendering it lifeless and dull, barely one step above cell shaded IMO.
You want to make a game using it then feel free but the original renders in this game are literally miles above your "Enhanced" versions.
Okay fellas, thanks ya all for sharing, but it's just means that we have a different opinions and its cool, no problemo.
As Toxic said in the discord, he consider using AI to process Ms. Denvers renders is disrespectful to the artist's work.
But what i consider disrespectful is the addition of such pixel-collapsing renders to the final version of the game.
Once again, two different opinions met each other.
If we talk about the AI that i used, then this was the usual free online AI with extremely limited functionality.
However, if you use, for example AI of the level that L&P uses, then the picture will be of a completely different level & quality. Even L&P - fucking master of the novel universe is using ai to make his renders better in the end but not our friends from Ms. Denver team. Well, wherewer.
Anyway. I made all this noise and criticize the state of the game not because its fun, but because i really like this game and i want to push the developer with my criticism to get better and better, to make the game better and better. Make them understand that there is always a reason to get better.
I can only hope that all i wrote there in the discord, including in personal messages to the developer, will give them at least an impulse to constantly increase and not decrease the quality of the game as i can see in difference beetween ver. 0.05 in which the renderers are lot better in quality than those in ver. 0.06. Although it should only be the opposite.
See ya.
