Trying out something new ~
Heyo!
As mentioned in previous post, I have been dabbling with something new last month which is AI !
This could cut down on a lot of the time needed to produce a visual novel but I am still seeing if I can make this work because it does comes with a lot of issues like
- inconsistent character / face / body
- really bad looking penises / bad or extra anatomy (Had to train how penises look from different angle and whether they are flaccid/erected etc)
- and most importantly AI sucks at 2 or more guys having fun together
The key to solving all these issues is training models myself but this would require high GPU and CPU power as well as instead of lessening my workload, it may drastically increase the time and work needed due to all the training involved
It does have lots of potential in making beautiful VNs but I will play around with it a lil more to see if it is worth the trouble ~

I, personally, really *greatly* prefer the 3-D photorealism look to the drawing/anime look. It's a major reason why I support your games on Patreon. I really dislike games that are just drawings, AI or not. *
The good thing about AI is it can produce literally any style from 3D Photorealism to anime-style!
In all honesty, the more I see of AI "art" the less impressed I am. Still, I think you managed these well. Hope you try for some more varied images - while I don't expect too many guys like Jorge, ( shame that - he is so very hot! ) it should be able to handle the twink and twunk side of things reasonably well.
I do think that AI could help contribute to a faster and less stressful development. However, I do think that the drawbacks outweigh the positives at this point in the possibilities of AI. The inconsistencies with the bodies and especially face may be odd after being used to seeing the same 3D models we have become so familiar and attached to over the past years. I also think that the high quality of 3D renderings with consistent shadows, depth, and texture are often very hard to mimicking using AI vs. a 3D model.. Just some of my thoughts on it! I am not sure how others would feel, but I would personally be okay with waiting longer for a new chapter and keep the same consistent art rather than the AI. But these are only my opinions! Curious to see what others think.
I've experimented with AI on my PC so I 100% understand your pain. I have a few AI posts on my Twitter. Even my profile picture you see is AI generated. Duplicate anatomy and deformed anatomy are very common issues with AI. I'm still figuring it out, negative prompts are necessary. I had a hard time getting one person to look good and while getting two people was okay, any fun stuff just looked terrible. I do think the model you're using plays a factor but if you find an image you made that's close enough, you can use it's seed and regenerate it different or the same and make it better. Maybe go to reddit for advice.
