  That’s not an excuse. You are effectively using other people’s work without even crediting them.

    That’s not an excuse. You are effectively using other people’s work without even crediting them. You’re right, I should have mentioned it upfront. The visuals were generated using Nano Banana Pro. I understand that’s still a sensitive issue for many people and I respect that.

      But you don’t seem to understand WHY it’s a “sensitive” issue.

        You’re right, I don’t fully understand the depth of it. I know it’s about artists whose work was used to train these models without consent or compensation — and that crediting the AI tool doesn’t address that at all. I wanted to make games — it’s something I genuinely care about. But I’m a solo dev with no budget, and hiring an artist simply isn’t an option for me right now. AI was the only path I found that made this possible at all. I understand that doesn’t make it okay for everyone, and I’m not trying to pretend otherwise.

      Thanks for adding that note to the description! Just for clarity: If somewhere in the future you are able to work with an artist, would you re-work the art for this game? And can we expect a Linux release?

      Other than that, I had the wish for this kind of game for some time and I’m glad something like that exists now. Given the circumstances, I still don’t see myself in the target audience, but good luck on your journey!

        Yes, absolutely — if I ever get the chance to work with a real artist, reworking the art is something I genuinely want to do. It would make the game feel the way it deserves to. And Linux release is on the roadmap! No exact timeline yet, but it’s planned. Thank you for the kind words — means a lot even if the game isn’t quite for you right now. Maybe one day it will be
