boobs_lover_69 your 1 star review of this game is very interesting, but begs a few questions. Here is what you wrote in it:
The amount that I care about the slow speed of updates is so much less than the amount I care about how fucking soulless AI art is. I've loved this game up until now, but if you start using AI art in future updates just to make updates come out faster, you will 100% lose me and many others. As far as my review of this game up to this point, I would honestly give it 5 stars, but the choice to take the honestly incredible artstyle and replace it with AI in the future is not one that I can get behind.
So what exactly is "losing you" mean? What support did I lose? What appreciation? What help? Did you give this game your theoretical 5-star review before, when it was 100% hand-drawn (currently still is) to support it? No. Did you perhaps support it financially? No.
Both of these actions would have improve financial situation of the game and I could afford to continue to pay for hand-drawn art, not go in the red and not be able to afford it anymore and trying to save the game with other cheaper means like AI art.
Tanking the game's rating with your 1 star review is your only contribution to what you call "incredible art-style of the game" and did nothing to support it or show your appreciation, when it mattered.
Money would help afford the hand-made art. Good reviews would rank the game higher on the forum and bring more views and as result supporters. Your 1 star review tanks the game further, no matter what art is chosen. It doesn't do anything good or constructive whatsoever. And it's also dishonest, since your actual perception of everything currently in the game is 5 stars. Where were these 5 stars when they were most needed?
