I’ve been following this game for a long time, and I clearly remember you talking about how difficult and time-consuming it was to create each H-scene. When I finally played the game, I could truly feel the effort and dedication you put into it, and that made it very valuable to me.However, using AI to create these scenes feels very different. I hope you can understand my perspective. I wish you the best of luck with developing the game.
This is a wild take. Do you think an AI made my entire update or what? We're not there yet.
For your information, I still spend hundreds of hours rendering each update. Writing, sound, programming... takes me like a few days tops. But on the other hand, I spend entire weeks and 8-10 hours a day, crafting the images alone, trying to make the scenes even more beautiful and erotic than previous updates all the time. Nothing was lost in that regard. This is still a passion project.
As for proper animations, they are a full time job task and my software lacks features of newer programs like soft body physics. Now I'm simply making my life easier and animating static renders that I would have never animated before. I'm still doing some animations in my program, like the blowjob ones which were not AI this update. However, I could have never made all the kissing or groping ones with this quality in a million years using the same software. I don't see what's "artificial" about AI, it should be called "augmented intelligence" because it's improving me and giving me superpowers as a solo dev.
Not telling you to reconsider, but your point of view makes no sense to me because Sinful Summer still has my "soul" (whatever that means to spiritual people) and it's still my renders and my unique art. It's not like I show you the hours working behind the scenes, so I don't see why, hypothetically, me spending thousands of hours learning Blender to make better non-AI animations would make a difference if I hadn't tell anyone. That would just lead to burnout and an abandoned project actually... I don't have a team to work on this, it's just me.
I'd rather tell you proudly and show you what the new tech is capable of if you use it right, instead of hiding it like a coward or not use it at all and get stuck with caveman tech because some skeptics will get mad. I think people should just appreciate the final product without their biases, it's not that hard.
