Tell me about the BGs...


Hello, everyone!

Today, I’m asking for your opinion on something that could significantly change the way I’m producing the game, and it will directly affect the game’s development. Normally, this would be a question for my Patreon supporters to vote on, but since there aren’t many yet, I’m posting it here.

I’d like to talk about the images I’ve been using for the backgrounds. Right now, they’re AI-generated, but of course, I’d like to change that if possible. However, due to a lack of resources, I can’t afford to hire an artist. But last night, during a feverish brainstorm, I thought, “Why not use Minecraft?” So I got on my computer and then remembered... “Oh right, I have zero artistic talent for drawing or building.”

And here we are. I did some tests using maps I found online, and now I’d love to hear your opinion. Which style should I go for? I’ll leave a few example images for comparison.

Let me know what you think!

It would be both fine if the characters can blend in both worlds

True, I'd have to make some tests. There is also the CGs... (⁠ ̄⁠ヘ⁠ ̄⁠;⁠)

You'll get there buddy  ( ✧Д✧)

Thank you~   •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

I consider the AI look better, but i cant stop thinking that this might be a lil sneak peek but who knows. °>°. Still im happy to see you are doing progress!

Or im just dumb and forgot those were in the current build. T-T

Hehe not actually. Those images are kind of a spoiler  ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭

Oooo, than i can't wait for the next build to drop! I kinda wanna know more about MC's past.

Will do darling OwO 

I don't consider AI to be bad, especially now when there are many different versions

I have a quick question, you really don't have anyone to help you?

I mean, I don't think so?

So, I basically have 1 friend, the artist Glitch, who is already working on the sprites and CGs, and he is quite busy. Besides, I can't afford to look for other artists. Glitch is already being an angel by charging me so little  (⁠。⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

I see it's true that in the art world it's paid, it's a real shame that there is no one who can do it for free, for example if I could help you I would do it for you for free but as I have no level in the art so I can't do much

At least you pay it but a little what

Well, thank you for your intention. And you're asking how much I pay Glitch? In our country it would be the equivalent of around 5 US dollars for a halfbody sprite (⁠ ⁠・ั⁠﹏⁠・ั⁠)

Oh...i see i see

well I'll say the same thing AI

Noted! (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

How can I say I have no idea, well I don't know how to help you?

Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you said... Are you asking me how you could help me? Well, there are some ways, like Patreon, that help me raise funds, so I could try to find a BG artist. But of course, don't feel obligated to financially support the projects  乁⁠|⁠ ⁠・⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠・⁠ ⁠|⁠ㄏ

Sorry if I didn't answer, but I can help you, I don't mind, but

We'd be really happy to have your support (⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。⁠)⁠ノ⁠♡

The AI ones are fine, plus it has the advantages of keeping your costs down

Noted! (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

For now the AI seems to work well.

Hey there. Thanks for your answer. And yeah, I guess the AI images might look better than cubes all around... ಠ⁠ω⁠ಠ

(+1)(-1)

in my opinion I think the AI version is better

Yeah, for sure. The cubes looked kinda strange for me :3
