Tried my hand at a pixel art portrait. My next game is going to be intense with the portraits, but I wanted a consistent art style with the low res tilesets. I can touch up some shading and anatomy errors as they're pointed out, but if the overall piece looks good, I can stick with pixel art for the portraits instead of digital art like I did before.

Being that it was a grey area in the rules before
While there are perfectly valid moral reasons to consider AI art theft, this site is perfectly happy to host content that uses stolen graphics and audio, with the stipulation that rips cannot come from indie games.


This is the distinction right here. AI art scrapes from ALL OVER the internet, including freelance artists, often without their knowledge or consent. Using an AI art generator IS ripping from indie creations, be they games or otherwise. Not only do these generators scrape images from indie creators, but you can tweak your prompts to deliberately imitate another indie creator's style, which is all kinds of messy both legally and morally.

I think there's a huge difference between disallowing genres and disallowing a system that creates assets using theft.

I agree that immediately going for the retroactive denial is a bit much. I say give devs a grace period to replace/remove all AI assets from their games, then deny these pages after a certain date has passed and said assets have not been removed.

my game's database is just like my life—completely all over the place

Clean it up. Get rid of all the bad actors and delete all the unnecessary gear clogging up space. Any items that you haven't used in a while should also get tossed.

Then do the same for the database.

Too bad, AI "artists." Now all that's left for you to make your game are RTP, RTP edits, Final Fantasy rips, commissions, asset packs, and the thousands upon thousands of free assets that kindhearted artists put forward willingly out of love for games and game dev.

I know it'll be tough, but I think you'll manage.

Oh, and Kickstarter's metrics said that 5 backers were referred from the link here!

I just want to point out that I backed this before the game page on RMN was even up. I promise you that more than 5 people from this site came out to support you and this project.

Congratulations on the Kickstarter funding! Good luck with the rest of development!

Commercial? Free? Other? IDK YET

Going into commercial game dev hoping for a "hit" will only lead to disappointment. Earning a respectable income won't come from one or two games.

That said, have you considered Patreon or Ko-fi? That could be a way to earn money while still releasing the game the way you want to. It probably/definitely won't be much, but maybe it's a middle ground between extra income and more players?
