Thanks for all your kind words. Yes, my intention is to go wider in the future with many more of the beast races being represented. I wanted to do a (very) early access release with the current content to get feedback and find any game breaking bugs. I'm just a single dev, so it takes a while, but I will get there eventually!
Also, as you can see in the AI disclosure settings, I do use AI to help with both art and coding. That said, there's still a very large amount of "human" work to make something like this possible. Hopefully the merits of the story and the fun of the game win folks over. That said, if a skilled artist wanted to join the project and could match the current aesthetic well, I'd be thrilled to work with that kind of talent.
