whole thing looks AI generated

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".

You're right, I don't fully understand the depth of it. I know it's about artists whose work was used to train these models without consent or compensation — and that crediting the AI tool doesn't address that at all. I wanted to make games — it's something I genuinely care about. But I'm a solo dev with no budget, and hiring an artist simply isn't an option for me right now. AI was the only path I found that made this possible at all. I understand that doesn't make it okay for everyone, and I'm not trying to pretend otherwise.

Do shitty MS Paint drawings. If your game is good, the visuals are, at best, tertiary. Especially here on Lemmy.

Dude, have you noticed that all those replies are AI-generated? 🤣

Counterpoint—I use em-dashes cause I like them, and that makes people think I’m a robot. Fuck ‘em, I can be a robot if I wanna be.

Sounded like it, but that's a whole other can of worms that I'm not willing to engage with.

Fair point. My English isn't great so I used AI to help phrase things properly — but the thoughts and decisions were mine. Guess I should have mentioned that too.
