If enough money is raised will it be possible for the game to get human made art?
I'm not sure, because of licensing and stuff.
For me, using AI is the only way to create a game with this much content (200+ unique cards) as a solo dev with zero budget, which allows me to keep the game 100% free and release updates quickly and to generate artwork inspired by popculture.
I do it just for the fun of it and I fear the second I earn money from it and invest money into it, it would become too professional.
that’s understandable i was wondering since do to the fact that the goofy llamas are part of the game’s charm I thought the ai might affect people’s enjoyment, but for what you’re trying to accomplish it might be the best idea to stick with a.i. Thank you for being upfront about it though in the game description not ever game is willing to be honest about using a.i and this allows those who actually have a problem with the art to go away before they’re meet with an unpleasant surprise.
