This art style and the look of their faces clearly evoke the themes of traps and autogynephilia. The faces look like they're about to say "you like kissing boys, don't you" - no thanks.
Oh really? That's definitely not what I'm going for, I'm sorry you get that feeling from the artstyle. Are there any specific images that are making you feel that way or is it more a general feeling across the game?

Good start! It's similar to My New Girlfriend for the art and the NTS theme, and it's a beautiful news! It keeps promising, so Dev keep it up!
Thanks! It is similar as I've been talking with CircleGames for a little bit. I do hope there is enough of a difference! I'm trying to set up different scenarios that MNGF most likely won't tackle.

Thanks for replying! You could blame my honed pattern recognition skills, but these pictures in particular are what's triggering these creepy vibes. Like, imagine a creepy sex offender or predator using something like that as their profile picture - this smug smirk, I call it the autogynephilia smirk, is mostly responsible for my impression of this.

Thanks for the feedback! I've never heard that term before so glad I learned something new today. Well considering this is a game where sexual fantasies have free reign, it's hard to create art, even with AI that doesn't cause certain reactions from people. What I mean is, as I've never heard about autogynephilia, I wouldn't make the connection to it from these pictures. For me, they were horny, naughty and playful and I assume for other people it will be the same, however like you said, you might make that connection to that, even though that's not my intent with these pictures and I don't think I can solve that problem without making the facial expressions too bland..

It's good to hear that this wasn't a deliberate artistic choice, but rather a coincidence caused by the AI-generated art. But, like I said, my pattern recognition is extremely honed, so I blame both myself and the pathetic state of sex pests for making a connection.

I will definitely try to pay attention to it for the future. Thanks again for the feedback though, I appreciate it!

FWIW I don't see what snorfle is referring to -- "clearly evoke the themes of traps and autogynephilia" did not ring true to me when I read it. The only thing I noticed about the art (besides the fact that I like it) is that it looks like the same art style of MNGF... I definitely know a good trap when I see one :sneaky: and that didn't occur to me when I looked at the screenshots, that's all I'm saying.

While me and Circle definitely use similar artstyles, there's definitely subtle differences such as his linework is more pronounced or at least the way his setup is and I believe we also use different checkpoints, that said however, it is still similar in a way, but I don't neccesarily think that's a bad thing as I rate his game to be the best AI game on the platform currently.

Makes sense. I'm very much looking forward to trying out your game!

Initial impression is that this is another basic AI game. There have been several coming out lately, I play some of them. While others were/are promising, this genre seems to either look similar to each other or struggle with proper developement. Kinetic aspect makes me even less optimistic. I cared enough to write this post so I do hope it does well if it deserves it. I will check back after some more updates now that it's on my "Watch". Good luck!
