I think AI wouldn't be too bad since I'm guessing its less work for the developers, but yeah its really nice to know who you're interacting with. Hopefully something is done for it in the future because it does get boring reading texts all the time.
I said "no AI" because I personally hate it when used to generate images... It would definitely save time but it would heavily downgrade this well crafted game (imo)! Also a Picrew wouldn't be too much work per se, because there's only a set number of features each character can have, but I can't start imagining how such thing could be implemented in a game...
I disagree. Putting aside the fact that I despise AI when used in any form of media, a scripted Picrew would mean drawing each feature only once, and then program the game to fetch said features and "build" the character art, not every single character from scratch. Yes, it would be challenging but not massively. I don't know how else I can explain it but let's agree to disagree .
