whole thing looks AI generated

That font is going to get them sued by WotC

Yeah, the images are AI-generated. I work alone and I'm not an artist, so this was pretty much the only realistic way to get something decent-looking

That's not an excuse. You are effectively using other people's work without even crediting them.

You're right, I should have mentioned it upfront. The visuals were generated using Nano Banana Pro. I understand that's still a sensitive issue for many people and I respect that.

But you don't seem to understand WHY it's a "sensitive" issue.

Also, by "crediting" I don't mean "this is the AI I used".

Thanks for adding that note to the description! Just for clarity: If somewhere in the future you are able to work with an artist, would you re-work the art for this game? And can we expect a Linux release?

Other than that, I had the wish for this kind of game for some time and I'm glad something like that exists now. Given the circumstances, I still don't see myself in the target audience, but good luck on your journey!

I want to thank everyone in this thread for the honest feedback. I hear you on the AI art — I understand it's not just an aesthetic preference but a matter of principle for many of you. This conversation genuinely helped me realize the issue runs deeper than I expected. I acknowledge the problem with AI-generated images — that's fair criticism. But I'll also be honest about something else: my native language is Ukrainian. If I had replied to you in Ukrainian, or posted this thread in Ukrainian, none of you would have understood a word — and I suspect most of you wouldn't have gone out of your way to translate it either. AI is what makes this conversation possible at all. I'll be more transparent going forward. Appreciate the patience.

Я не розмовляю жодного слова українською і навіть не розумію кирилицю, але все одно надіслав це повідомлення без використання штучного інтелекту.

Користуватися безкоштовним сервісом перекладу дуже просто, і це займає лише кілька секунд більше, ніж просто набирати повідомлення.

Навіть якщо це не ідеально, це все одно нормально та по-людськи. Особисто мені подобається бачити, як люди, які вивчають англійську, роблять поширені помилки, тому що в усіх наших мовах є дивні фрази, про які ми, як носії мови, зазвичай не думаємо.

Сподіваюся, у вас все добре, і не падайте духом. Я розумію, що ви не можете найняти художника одразу, але, можливо, ви могли б спробувати зв’язатися з місцевими художниками або людьми в Інтернеті та дізнатися, чи хтось бажає з вами працювати.

Ви можете бути здивовані тим, наскільки дешево це може бути. З мого досвіду, люди охочіше допомагають, ніж ви очікуєте. Вони можуть знизити ціни, ніж зазвичай, або, можливо, нададуть зображення в обмін на частку доходу від гри, або дозволять вам відкласти платіж на потім.

Хай щастить, і Слава Україні!

I'm trying to figure out where that second ampersand should be in the name based on the cover image.

Dungeons & & Diagnoses?

Dungeons & Diagnoses &?

& Dungeons & Diagnoses?

I did notice it hard to miss. I figured it works as a built-in disclaimer: if the AI artifact in the title bothers you, you'll know right away this game might not be for you. The cover stays as is until I move away from AI visuals entirely. If you're genuinely curious it reads Dungeons & Diagnoses. The second ampersand is just the AI doing its thing.

I've heard the people that own D&D aren't very nice, that name might cause problems.

Why is there concern about the use of artificial intelligence in this project? The creator simply shared a brief concept outlining the core idea. He himself mentioned that if the project proves successful, he is willing to move away from fast methods and do the work manually. Instead of criticizing the use of AI, it would be more helpful to offer constructive criticism, and perhaps also download the concept and let the creator know he's on the right track.
