Honestly, kudos on not using AI, but even if you did it'd be fine. A game is about a lot more than just the art itself and the writing, character development, personalities, etc all matter as well. Anyone who'd snub a game just because it has AI generated art in it (which by the way takes time, effort, etc. on it's own to make it good.) clearly needs to take a step back. That's like watching only movies that have no CGI or digital special effects in them at all.
