I practice my own art in the meantime even when using AI. All the CGs I generally draw a rough outline that I use as a base for the AI.Very interesting game. I admit I was hesitant considering the 'quality' or lack thereof when AI is involved (And I still personally would prefer an AI free version in the future if possible) but aside from that, this game is very good. You rarely do see NTS games, or even NTR games like this. Even NTR Bunnies (another NT- game I enjoy) I felt like the cuck was kept around out of pity or some sort. In this, I can truly feel that Kat (whom I thought looked like a heavily pornified Neco-Arc) loves the main character.
It's a very thin line to walk in this sort of game, too mean and it seems like the MC is kept around purely for humiliation, too nice and it makes you question the Netora-e part of the game at all.
I'm watching with interest, SadCat.
I do not have the money to devote towards an actual artist. This also lets me generally work at my own pace without needing to rely on getting things from an artist in a reasonable time.
I understand a lot of people's reservations on AI. I honestly think it's not that bad and once techbros and companies realize you cannot use AI to replace every single bit of effort, opinions will change.
