I can draw quicker than Ai can reliably make something useful for me. I know everyone hates Ai but i've been trying to get it to work and honestly it's a technical hell.
This time around what's funny is that according to them art isn't the problem but rather the writing is now the current "block". Since they announced that updates are gonna be on Ren'Py they have now found a new "problem" to blame delays, now its not unity being the problem but rather something else. Be for real, like I don't share the criticism around the new art, every artist changes and seeing how most of their patrons agree its just a simple matter of getting used to the new art or ignoring the game, but their excuses and the serious lack of communication has caused this game to really falter to what it should be.
Let's set this straight before it gets twisted further, I couldn't give a flying fuck about their feelings. I draw the line at harassing devs but I wouldn't say this matches the criteria since it's closer to a circle jerk of hate and otherwise agree that actions have consequences. My point is that insults aren't critique. If people want to throw shit like a bunch of apes, have at it, just don't try to claim it's anything higher brow than that. I haven't even interacted with Mishanya1004's previous comments because he's being honest about the fact shit-slinging is all he's doing and I respect that. I didn't even know about the RenPy port since it's been gone so long otherwise I dare say I'd be playing that instead, just like I said would be the case if there was an alternative and the only quote I took from his earlier outburst was for the general understanding of how GenAI works, like Gerbalzlayer has also said. It wasn't until Freelancer's minimisation that I said something, which Mishanya has agreed with. I'm not even going bother with Erebus's cherry-picking of information.
To be fair, I was making a general statement, not one specifically aimed at anyone; hence why I didn't quote anyone for a direct response. So instead, here's a more succinct explanation of how one person's criticism is another's insult:
"No guys see it's taking us LONGER to get updates out now haha, we're totally not using AI, also we need 5 month update cycles now to get you the quality you deserve" - somebody idk lmao (I'm being facetious nobody get their titties twisted)
Projection? Are we really stooping low enough for a "no you"? I have nothing to feel guilty over.
Except for the fact that we know for sure none of your points apply to SR7. He has always been like this, and his worst parts have only intensified with time. I wouldn't be half as bitter if at some point he actually was better qua communicating and updates - but he wasn't, and at least, back in the day his bad points could be forgiven cause the art was nice.
Yk I agree people in here have gone a lil overboard on criticism and personal attacks. I have issues with the devs I've outlined before and think they don't hold themselves accountable and communicate poorly.
