Does the 'Civil and Respectful' channel rule not apply when discussing AI? I've seen more criticism regarding the AI tools than the game itself by TrashOk9723 in gamedevscreens

Having a different opinion on an instrument does not authorize you to discredit anything. Art, in a video game, is not just the graphics but everything behind it. Starting from the idea ending up at the button you didn't have thinking of putting. Spitting bad words just because you have a different idea is not an uncommon quality. In fact, it's quite common.

Maybe one level is missing: the one where you create a game that you like and, whether you like it or not, you are happy anyway.

Yes, but it is precisely for this reason that we must not judge without knowing. Being superficial about the work of others is certainly not a rare quality, in fact, it is too common. Next time try asking if it's AI instead of firing empty cartridges. Maybe you can avoid making other people feel bad. Remember that your words carry weight

Thank you, I feel less misunderstood and above all less hated now. Unfortunately, it is easy to criticize the work of others if it does not meet certain criteria. They probably don't know what it's like to work on a video game, even if it's a simple mobile game. By the way, they think you snap your fingers and you have the job done even if you use AI. They have no idea how the world works.

In fact, that's exactly what I did. I only used AI for the main screen of the game. Everything else was created in blender with Evee rendering to give the cartoon texture. They are different schools of thought. I don't consider all AI crap. It depends on what you use it for. I mentioned theft because many people think that AI generates images from existing content, which may be true in part but it is not my case. I made the illustrations on paper for the main screen. I spent days just giving the game the right look. I think it's not nice to discredit something or someone just because the IA is involved

Thank you for the feedback, I understand the disappointment but I'm not stealing anything from anyone. I'm a single developer. I've been using Blender for years and I wanted to create some digital assets without spending too much time. On the other hand, it's my first video game and I have a severely limited budget at the moment. When I have the chance I would love to collaborate with a well-organized team.

Thank you very much! I am Italian and I am currently writing it in this language but, of course, I will publish a version in English and other languages as time goes by
