Oh, wow, can't you be like, you know, more original? Isn't it the point?

Don't like it, ignore it. This game is just not for you, and that's OK!

You'd call my hand-drawn games "cringe shit" too, anyway :P

So you had the ability to make a hand drawn game, you just gave up instead?

Yup, people didn't like it as much. Some say I was never an artist to begin with, since I wasn't good enough. Now with help of AI I can focus on other parts of the game.

Dude don't get discouraged your art was getting so good! Maid's Duty was super polished.

Besides the moral conversation on AI the thing with it is that all the generative ai seems to look the same. If you could somehow stylize it's output that would go a long way. Even just a little bit. 'My Fluffy Neighbour' does a pretty good job of having it's AI look a little more distinct. I think people see this same style that EVERYONE else is outputting and associate that as slop because it's indistinguishable at a glance from the actual slop.

Maid's Duty was made with AI assistance, I guess doing the extra step with animations kinda hides it. With this project, I was just exhausted to do that. Instead I focused on story and gameplay. No animations allowed to add more content too.

I tried that and it has an interesting system with the animations. Would love to see something similar down the line. Though I strongly disliked it being Pony X Pony. I think it's the only non-HMOFA game you've made too.

It was a workflow test. I used animations in several games on Steam, but it doesn't seem like it's a sales driver and requires too much work.

I am sorry people are being mean to you. I like your games. I don't think using AI is giving up. Few people can do everything on their own. My games have very little music because I suck at making music. You did your best and people are mad it does not live up to their standards, but you didn't ask for a trophy. You did nothing wrong. I am genuenly mad people are being mean to you for no reason.

Thanks! If anything, I think my games are getting better now. Instead of not being happy with visuals, I can just move on to other parts of the game. I keep experimenting, seeing what works, what doesn't.

Some mean comments are expected on free stuff; it stopped happening on Steam though.
