What the developer says
As a solo developer, I unfortunately cannot afford to hire artists or creators, so the media in my game is a mix of AI-generated and hand-edited/crafted. I would love to have my assets professionally made, but the cost of somewhere around two thousand icons, portraits, and other media assets would be far more than I can afford as just some guy working alone. I've done my best to create the best art and sounds with the tools I have access to, trying extremely hard to make things you will enjoy. If this game were to ever be successful enough, I'd love to hire professional artists one day to remake my assets (and for my future games). I thank you for your understanding, and I hope the game is good enough to get me there eventually!

This covers several major asset types, so AI scope is major. However, the developer is a solo creator with one release, 46 reviews, and an 82% positive rating, which shows real effort rather than volume production. Against: The developer says assets are hand-edited and crafted, and the game has a solid review score, suggesting meaningful human work beyond raw AI output. |
