Hello, thanks for checking out my post!

I have released a new ai-genreated backgrounds. and it's not getting quite well. it barely appears in the search and always in the end of the list. I don't know why ??? .

Thanks to check it out and tell me if i did anything wrong or it's normal behavior and it just need time!  Any form of feedback is welcomed, I'm happy to learn from you!

Come check it out, demo is available ! - https://mnasr.itch.io/game-assets-pack-vol1

It takes time and effort to get noticed! You should appear higher in the list if you click on "Most Recent" or "New & Popular". But to actually gain popularity you will need to market your assets, just creating an account and dropping a couple of posts will not get you a huge amount of traffic. 

As for the asset pack itself, first of all the inconsistent style in the example images doesn't look too appealing. I know you said only two styles in the pack (realistic or cartoon) and so you are showing those two styles, but anyway it just makes it look like a random grab-bag of images rather than a coherent package that all fits together. The page itself is very plain so that isn't really selling it either.

Secondly, the AI errors present in the images are pretty obvious and make it look less professional.

Thirdly, many people will simply not want AI created art, myself included. Especially here... Itch.io is very indie-centric and full of real artists who work hard to create their art. AI generation can be viewed as stealing from artists, since it can only function by learning from existing content created by humans. Even if that content is free, it is disheartening from an artist point of view to see that free content regurgitated by a computer and then sold for profit. Also, anyone who does want to use AI could probably just generate their own backgrounds. 

Thank you for taking the time to review my assets and for your constructive feedback. Your insights are truly appreciated.

I'm committed to continuously refining my AI-generated backgrounds, both in terms of quality and appeal. Your feedback serves as a valuable reminder to me. I respect your viewpoint and the concerns you've raised. It's important to acknowledge the diverse opinions surrounding this emerging technology. While AI-generated content may evoke different reactions from traditional art, it also opens up new avenues for creativity and innovation.

Finally, I would be grateful if you could guide me to some resources on marketing strategies. Also if you recommend another type of assets that will be easy to learn doing without AI.
