Good to know the author isn't censoring mentions of AI at least. But yeah I'll be avoiding their games from now on. Big shame too since I enjoyed OIHS from way back in the day. Ah well, more time to play literally every other furry VN that doesn't use machine plagiarism.
My point is is that it's not hard to pay for a background artist esp with patreon money. Or just use stock images. Many other devs do this, it's not a high bar to clear.
