If you really would support the game you didn't had to ask this question. You would know the answer like all supporters.

My fuckin boxers literally provide more support!I support it with inaine comments in this thread
My g, do you think I spend my life living on a forum? There's not only 1 game I'm following. Sometimes the easiest way to get an update is to ask a question.
And if you're a "supporter", you're doing a pretty bad job at it, considering you're alienating other potential supporters like me from the game with your pissy unhelpful "you ain't allowed to ask questions, u are supposed to know hurrdurr" comments.
In my experience, the vast majority of people are completely incapable of telling the difference. There are several games updated in just the last couple of days where people are crying about AI models when the dev tagged the game w/ AI bc they used AI to generate the backgrounds. And to be really blunt, we'd all be better off if a lot of VA's and artists were replaced by AI.
I scanned in some paintings my ex did so she can sale them and most of the first comments were quite literally trying to claim physical paintings were AI art. I'm more than tired of listening to her break down about how she's going to be replaced by AI.
Make something that looks remotely professional and here come the accusations. Make something where you state you're using it as a tool for s specific reason, here come the accusations that you're using it for everything. Unless it looks like it's hand drawn by a preschooler, everything today is being accused of being AI by someone. Hell, AI art is quite literally based off of other peoples creations, which was based off of other peoples creations, which in turn were based off of other peoples creations. Neither the AI nor the artists would have been capable of creating the art we consume today if the artists before them hadn't created what they did.
For example, every alien depiction in scifi has characteristics of animals or humans when science dictates that it's incredibly unlikely that lifeforms from another planet would share any characteristics with how life on this planet evolved. Hell, we have a lot of animals that evolved from the sea to live on land, just to return to the see due to natural disasters taht would have only occurred on this planet. So we know alien life isn't likely to look remotely like anything we've seen before, and yet we're still incapable of conceiving anything that isn't derived from what we've already seen. We are literally no better than the AI we've created, and that's the sad truth.

And AI art (or any AI used to do creative tasks) is still in its infancy and will improve a lot, the only limitation is basically that art or any creative task is under more subjective judgement of quality depending on the observer/consumer, but AI can access data much faster than any single human (depending on what is powering it up hehe) and can learn by itself if will follow the same steps/phases than chess AI did.
Nearly 30 years ago was the last time it was news a chess Grandmaster beating AI in a chess duel, since then the best AI are way better than the best human players and is basically impossible for a human to beat StockFish for example unless it is set to a lower intelligence/lower ELO rating hehe. One of the great steps was done with AI AlphaZero that learned chess by itself playing consecutives matches against itself. So it is just a matter of time AI art take over, but are us humans that will set the rules on how it should be done and implemented and used. Same happens with automation etc etc there will always people afraid of their jobs being replaced by it.
Onething people need to understand is that for any game/movie/series to become a hit it needs enough audience who buy and pirate.If the game is available only for patrons then it would not grow and it will never have patrons.People buy things that are most talked about.Its human psychology.For example the biggest titles on this site wouldnt have had patrons growing if they were never pirated.So yeah not everything that is pirated kills the thing.Game of thrones was the most pirated series ever.Still it was huge success as more and more people talked and discussed about it HBO kept adding new patrons.Thats how things work in entertainment space

There are good pirates and bad pirates. Some just use the games and move on, others, like me, play the games first and then if they enjoy it, they support it. As in every VN there is a link for patreon or steam, saying "if you enjoy them the game, consider supporting it". If it wasn't available outside of patreon, why bother putting an link in there.

Dude, the past we travel to in the future is the past they lived in the past. Our future present is the past that they remember, when they remember you, before you remember them or when you first met. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey.
