I find the problem with AI art is it being disingenuous and scummy, but you give a good reasonable explanation for its use and you aren't doing this just for profit.
Maybe eventually you would change to commissioned art for the game but if you both cant afford it or make it yourself i don't find any problems.
Keep up the good work :]
I would say I'm making a visual novel because I'm fascinated with AI and where it can go, rather than that I want to write a visual novel, and just happened to settle on AI for the visuals. ..So commissioning art is not very relevant in this case. Even if there are some amazingly talented people out there, it would be impossible to create the animations. If I were to commission art and then animate with AI, I would still need 100's of pictures.
I have some scary stuff planned, and some very strange things already made. If people like this story, I will gladly publish another chapter. I'm a little put down right now, tbh. I'm doing this project to escape some struggles in life that are not minor.. so I guess I can't deal with too much negativity.
