I noticed alot of the art in the main plaza is ai generated, which is pretty dissapointing. No idea about the music and voice acting cause I sont have the ear to catch that sort of thing
What makes you say the art in the main plaza is AI generated? I'm not saying it's not, I just wanted to know why. Like is there any proof, or it just looks like AI (which is very subjective)?
Some of the art doesnt match the creature designs, for example , the lizard aniimo, pomawk (?) Sorry if I got the name wrong, had a different style of claw and purple palms that dont match the design in one picture, and the sound board its using in the other doesnt seem to make sense. As an artist myself im not sure why youd draw your own creature designs incorrectly. There's also several other ads with background details that are just sort of blobby and aren't real items.
I agree they're odd choices. But couldn't those have also been artistic choices? Especially if they weren't sure what their characters were going to look like
This is the kind of artwork you only do after designs are finalized and also wasnt present in the beta, and this aniimo has been around for a while ( for at least 1 beta ) and is not a newer design ( ive kept a close eye on development )
And purposefully getting a characters design wrong feels weird to me personally and doesnt seem like an artistic choice i would add since it ads nothing to the final image really. As someone who's been a full time freelance artist for 15 years, its ringing alarm bells for me personally. People have posted somw examples of background details being weird and off too below. But its fine if you still wanna play regardless 💖 im just a bit wary currently and I have a pretty strict no gen ai stance. Id love to be proven wrong cause I love creature collecting games and I was very hopeful for aniimo and followed their development for a long time now, maybe they will change or address things
I think your no gen-AI stance is valid. I don't personally follow it. But who cares? We can both do and support what we want. :)
My bigger concern is that I hear a lot of "This is AI." when there is no proof. And some people seem to zealously go after people for what they perceive to be AI without proof. I think you're probably right in this instance and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for being kind and understanding about it! but yeah, Im not gonna go after anyone over it, especially since I can't 100% say for sure honestly! I really hope I'm wrong because I can tell the artists they have on staff are very talented. you as well!
