Artwork ruins the game for me.
I've owned the game for awhile and always justified the poor, mismatching artwork at pre release issue.

However now that it's released it's clear the artwork itself is not going to be improved?

This type of game (for me) almost requires a solid artwork to immerse you in the environment it's creating. It's technically a randomly generated storyline game but as a player you're completely pulled out of this by the artwork.

If there was a specific style or flow this game would be far more enjoyable.

I don't think it is- it costs money and the Dev isn't going to use AI art (either bowing to the whims of the mob or fears of the British legal system).

The good news is modders don't care and there are 6 art mods. 4 are Srdest- 2 different agent styles, two different witch styles, 1 agent style by Zymi and 1 agent style by ShockMeSane.

Aside from agents and witches, there isn't anything. Its a big project; Shock stated they were working on it, but I don't know if they still are.

Art is like, the least of their concerns right considering they're fixing a lot of issues that exist under the hood and working on a completely new god. So I'd suggest looking to modders at the moment.

The story you weave is the artwork. Its a shame to miss out on this great game because of the art. To each there own.

ngl I really like the current art style, inconsistent as it is. Gives it a nice ecclectic charm, and makes it clear that none of these are meant to be actual appearances.

Legitimately cannot imagine what's wrong with the art. I think it's delightful.

I would be fine with the artwork if not for use of flashing as means of highlighting in UI. Also, typos. So many typos.

Just bought the game yesterday and i'm enjoying and getting to grips with it.

Yes the art is a bit inconsistent and all over the place, the UI a bit weird and the music could do with a bit more to it.

I don't personally have an issue with the art, and steam workshop is up and has mods in it so you might be able to find portraits and other stuff in there to change up the aesthetic to something you like more.

Do you think it's possible that the dev might personally dislike AI art, or is a dislike for AI restricted to the hoi polloi and Luddite lawyers?
