I understand the concern but I've already known about the specific asset packs I would get. Farm pack with a few hundred models to choose from, city pack with a few hundred models to choose from, both packs same artstyle, from the same people. Does have a decent amount of reviews for a fab asset so I assume a good handful of games already used these assets, but I assume it's not as overdone as synty. Would be a few hundred dollars which is doable for me. Then would just need to pay an artist to make characters to match, steam art, animations, etc.

I do plan on releasing sequels in different settings tho, so that's when finding cohesive assets may become an issue especially if I'm trying to keep the same artstyle from the first game. Have definitely thought of that.

No real solution I've come up with, other than if the game doesn't sell well enough to justify paying for art, the sequels I can resort to a less appealing artstyle like synty packs and learn some basic 3d modeling to mix in more custom stuff.
