It is very dodgy. He also seemed to have his posts removed from the incremental game subreddit.
I think that was related to him posting about getting booted from Steam for using AI-generated art. That started a few days of threads on the subreddit's stance on AI-generated art. I'm just speculating. Not sure if he removed them due to bad PR or if a mod sided with the people who are against for-profit games using AI-generated art instead of paying artists. I'm not stating any form of opinion on this matter, just speaking to what I observed on the subreddit. I do know that this game feels like a monumental undertaking to get to a well-polished end-state, and I would still gladly pay $5 for it without monster/hero art until it make sense to invest in the artwork to re-enable a major revenue stream such as Steam. I love the idea and I'd play it with even placeholders for the art.
