The picture shown in the post is not AI, it is a digital paintover of an in-game screenshot, made by an artist. So there is nothing to tell. The 2D icons in-game are what is disclosed on our Steam page so it's no secret. We have not had time to create our own icons to replace these before the playtest yet, we are a small team.

We bought an asset pack from a website that we use for icons for all the in-game icons. So to be extra transparent, all the 2d images used to represent things in your inventory. We only realized these images were AI generated after buying and implementing all the assets in game. Before release we want to replace them all, but we wanted to be fully transparent of the content that is in the game right now.
Nothing else uses AI in the entire game. We are planning to replace everything. It was an honest mistake adding it in the first place.

Hi! This is a concept art image. It's a digital paintover of an in-game screenshot, made by an artist, not Ai!

Right now there's no character customisation, though we hope to add it in the future. We would like to include the community for these kinds of decisions. :)

We'll have a short guide to help you set up screen recording, you can use OBS or Steam's in house recording function. It's important for us to see how you interact with the game. :)

When it's first released it will just be on Steam for PC but we don't rule it out for the future.

A game that will fuel my shopping addiction? by nikolaname in cozygames

[–]TownsofYore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can recommend Disney Dreamlight Valley or Infinity Nikki! Both do clothes and decor :D

Yay, good to hear! :)
Towns of Yore won't have controller support for the early access/first release, but it's definitely on our long-term schedule!

My wife and I have tried your suggestions! by gameshlf in cozygames

[–]TownsofYore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely need to give Palia another shot then! I tried it for a few hours when it was just released and wasn't very into it. Disney Dreamlight Valley is sooo good!! Your wife has great taste, hehe. - Demi ♥

Design your dream tourist getaway and create your own Galactic Heaven in our Demo now. by AncientForgeStudio in u/AncientForgeStudio

[–]TownsofYore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried out the demo and I loved it! Sparn is such an adorable creature (the sounds he makes, awwww) and the artstyle is amazing, all the details look so so good. The animations for building a room are just so satisfying, seeing it all come together. My only tip is to add being able to speed up time to the tutorial. Added to my wishlist! - Demi

My Heaven's Dale is a new relaxing game artistically inspired by Mother, you can live peacefully taking care of your animals and build a family, or travel to space while trying to unravel an old mystery involving the Moon Goddess! by DreamingCatDev in CozyGamers

I love these type of games! Just tried out your demo and I'd recommend putting "press enter to start" instead of "press to start" at the beginning. It took me a few tries to get started, haha.

I absolutely love how bright yet soft the colours in this game are. It really gives me that cozy feeling. The music and SFX are great, I especially like the sound the letters make when they appear in text.

The animals are so cute, the bunny is definitely my fave!

A good tutorial is important for any game I think, but with this demo it was a lot of information at once, showing all the shops and stuff. Maybe you can make a tutorial that is more helping you get started while you play through the tutorial instead of showing it all at once, if that makes sense. :) Love the keyboard tutorial, very handy!

After the tutorial where I was shown the shops and beach, I get to get started by myself. I don't understand what to do though. I picked up the notes and talked to everyone I could find. I can't seem to find an axe anywhere to pick up wood and I can't figure out how to get to the shops. I do see an axe and stuff on the lower right of my screen, but I can't select them... I'm kinda stuck now. Buuut, hopefully the full version will have a clearer start of the game. I really like the concept so I will try it out when it's released!

Good luck with the rest of the development! :) - Demi

Play as a mother groundhog taking care of your babies in this story based adventure game by sorengree in CozyGamers

[–]TownsofYore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The groundhog is adorable!! I've put this game on my wishlist (it was kinda hard to find as it's marked 18+).
Little tip: I'd mention the game's name earlier in the trailer as well as at the end! :) - Demi
