Ai slop xd

Just because images are generated with AI doesn't make a game slop. I've seen over a hundred games who didn't use AI, that have nowhere near the level of writing, let alone the passion or time put into them.

how is it passion if the guy rather take easy way out instead of puting in the time in everything
Passion into the writing? I don't really know what point you're trying to make here. Getting skilled enough at art would take years, especially if trying to get good enough for a wide-scale project like a game, and 99% of the time a developer can NOT AFFORD an artist. It's not a matter of effort, it's a matter of availability. If there is no artist available, and you don't have the artistic skill or know-how to learn incredibly quickly, then AI is the best route to still make a game that can be enjoyable. I don't really much like the normalization of AI usage, but this is one of the very few cases where AI is less of something used to detriment effort and more to actually fulfill an effort's purpose.
It's not like anyone is losing out. If he didn't use AI, he wouldn't hire an artist, and the game just wouldn't exist. We'd all be losing out, because it's a greatly written game.
AI is the pathway to creation, in this instance, not a way to jump past passion and effort put into the work.

No the art adds a visual component to the game that creates interest that would otherwise be lost to those who have no interest in a purely story driven game. I'm this case the developer is using AI the way it should be which is a tool to enhance. He still puts an incredible amount of effort and care into ensuring character consistency unlike a lot of developers that use AI. People need to stop directing hate towards the use of AI willy nilly at the to first site of it, especially in the furry community where resources really are limited. Yes, the way AI generative art is essentially stealing IP is bad, but that's on the companies that are doing that. I would argue it's just as unfair to disregard the creativity of those who lack the talents without taking a good look at what they have to offer. Someone lashing out and calling it AI slop without even giving it a chance shows ignorance to the moral issue in the first place. Why would someone trash one artist to protect the rights of another? People need to stop this senseless hated and actually think before they villainize others who are just trying to bring their passion to life. Attack the root of the issue, the companies scraping the data, not the low hanging fruit of the people using the tool as designed. Especially when the fruit is self isn't rotten, and has been grown with thought and care. This isn't meant as an attack against you. I'm just fed up with this behavior of the original comment in general. It's just as bad as the AI companies and does no one any good.
