O-kay. Now that I'm quite a bit farther into the game (Day 12) some sectors seem oddly linguistically repetitive or antithetical. (Mainly the cheerleading after-game hangout sector)
Every author has their boundaries when it comes to topics they won't delve into through their work, but when I can noticeably see the text consistently draw itself lines it does not follow, I can't help but think that that's only really a mistake AI would follow so consistently.
"But we need to set some ground rules if we're doing this. No spreading anything mean or serious, alright? Only fun stuff."
--Followed by--
"Yeah, like how to freak people the fuck out by just standing there."
It's incredibly inconsistent and the text throughout concurrent late-game (Day 10+) creates so so so many more notions it does not only not follow through with, but entirely conflict.
There's probably a lot more during earlier portions polished up by the length of which it has been there...
These short-term inconsistencies followed with the almost-inhuman tone consistency drawn throughout the whole game makes me believe this game is in some mannerism utilizing AI to create it-which is fine-I just think games like this need to be more open about it, because the only potential mentions of such I heard to be so were through the Discord -.-It does heavily break my immersion learning about this, and it does sadden me quite a bit :<
I don't mean to be accusatory, I am just sharing what I genuinely believe as a consumer from my perspective without filter.
This game has a LOT of love put into it. And whether it utilizes AI text to cut some corners in its early writing process doesn't take away from that.
The amount of effort it takes to code, manage art commissions, make sure current story leads up smoothly with prior plot, make sure current story will lead smoothly into future plot, test-through with your game before the publish of the next update, and still not even beginning to mention about the volume to which it does so.
That being that the developer adds, on average, just a little over 1,000 finalized words into the story each and every day.
To create that volume, at a consistent rate, in high quality as a sole developer takes an astronomical amount of effort,
-assisted or not.
There is real pain and real love etched by a soul who cares for its development. That is a project worth supporting.
There is major quality, and the author goes to incredible lengths to make sure quality art is sustained AI-free.
I've joined the Patreon for the development of this game and I strongly encourage whoever reading to do so aswell :>
