Using AI-generated artwork in a game is not practical because the artwork it creates can be unpredictable and inconsistent. Game development involves a lot of creativity, and AI-generated art may not be able to capture the unique style and vision of the game's artists.

Also, game artwork requires more than just a single image. It often involves creating multiple layers, textures, and animations that must work together seamlessly to create a complete image that feels immersive. AI-generated artwork may not be able to produce these complex layers and animations, which are essential to even function as a game asset.

Lastly, refining and improving AI-generated artwork can be time-consuming and difficult. This can slow down game development and increase costs.

So while AI-generated artwork can be useful for creating concept art, it is not currently practical for use in the game due to its limitations.
As a developer and intermediate artist this is not true anymore. It may be true for a high profile project but for a fan fic porn game it isn't. If you don't want to use it's fine but use a better excuse/reason like morals and ethics which are valid (but then again what does akabur thinks of this project), but the workflow its almost controlnet is scary good and good old masking and img2img gives good results.

AI-generated artwork is not viable for this project, and as the main developer, I am better equipped to make that assessment than someone who does not have the understanding of the project's requirements.

As the developer, I can provide some clarification.

Unfortunately, attempting to recompile the older version 1.39 of the game is not a viable option due to the unavailability of some Java tools. The specific Ren'py launcher version we used will crash during compilation because of it, rendering the task impossible.

Regrettably, unless someone possesses a copy of the android build, it is forever lost.
oh hey lol you literally responded to me in the discord as well I believe although the answer there was more cryptic (i think it was something like there is no 1.39 android) so i was a tad confused.

Anyway shame to hear about that as I've heard 1.39 has Luna content. Is it true thats in the pipeline to be reintroduced?

I'm not sure about its feasibility, but there's an app called Joiplay that functions as an interpreter for different engines, such as Ren'py. It might be worth trying out to see if it works for you to play the 1.39 version on Android.

Content update for Luna is scheduled to be included in the upcoming 1.46 update, which will be released after the imminent one.

Wait is this still being developed?
I remember talking with the creator of this years ago on another forum...
Assuming it was the creator of the original Witch Trainer that you talked with, this extensively modified and expanded version - Witch Trainer Silver - is being developed by a different team.

Hmm, memory's rough but It was soon after the original games release was definitely called Witch trainer: "something"

I remember it changed the game pretty heavily, removing much of the senseless grind and making it more a steady enjoyable narrative.

I believe there's at least one other modified version out there, but I haven't played it.

There is literally a comment from one of the developers just above yours and mentioning an imminent update. You don't even have to search the thread its right there my dude.

Was more an exclamation of disbelief than anything dude.
I think i originally saw this being developed back like 7 years ago(2016 i think i saw it originally), seeing it randomly while browsing the site was enough of a nostalgia trip. But seing its also still being developed? damn.

Yeah wasn't sure on it but some even early dialogue has been changed and not for the better.
Last thing i want to read is modern politically dusted hot takes of either leaning, joke or not.
I'd be interested to see examples of what you're referring to. Just so for curioisity's sake, to see what the extremely American dev team did.

Wont take you seriously if you highlight a word like "extremely" while it was said by neither party.

That’s not a quote, it’s just mockery at how hilariously confidently you both make assumptions.

but you don’t have examples I guess? Just here to virtue signal to your fellow forum goers about how cool you are?

Okay, I'd be interested to see examples of what you're referring to. Just for curiosity's sake, to see what the American dev team did.

So, can I get some of those examples, or does my highlighting one word, for the purposes of a later callback that isn't at all relevant to the main question at hand, mean we can never get those examples?
