Whenever I went through the game, it reminded me of this guy who did similar works musically by leveraging other abilities he had(film editing in this video's case).

If we talk specifically about Tomboy: Love in Hot Forge, then this is a complete story, its sequel is unlikely. We plan to make another game but with a completely different story and visual style. The rest of the release of new games depends on the support of us at Itch.

Thank you for indirect answer. I figured it was something from adobe. Tho there's tons of tools for that nowadays. Not so much to wait for AI tools for animations honestly. I dislike the fact about AI generated content like majority, it may look lazy. But once you do some research, you figure out its not as easy as people make it look and others think, then you start to like it and appreciate it, it requires alot of time invested, and actual skill. It's a new thing afterall, people should actually spend more time researching it before ditching it's content.
Good luck with other projects, looking forward to them.

The girl looks like Tomo-chan from a four panel manga series and anime: Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! It's well worth reading/watching if you appreciate tomboys.
More seriously, this little project is a harbinger of a new era in both adult and main stream entertainment. The graphic elements are equal to mid/top tier Koikatsu products already and the extra work put in on the animation is the icing on the cake. I fully expect that within a couple of years half the projects on F95 will include AI components (and mainstream animation will also be in transition).

Most likely photoshops his images too, like I do.
Though I gotta say, I'm impressed by OP's gifs.
Takes me days to make a single gif... Gotta manually edit every single frame.
Welp, now I've got another tool I need to learn.
It saddens me that this is the Final build. I never imagined that a redhead tomboy blacksmith would be this hot. I guess I found a new fetish for abs.

Doesn't help that many AI CG games on here are lazily done, almost anyone can cook but not everyone is a chef. The people that are lazy, just fill in some random tags and use the output directly in their game. Others use a bunch of options in Stable Diffusion for example to improve the output until they achieve the result they want. This can be further enhanced in Adobe Photoshop, After Effects or other options.
In this video you see how a rough sketch can turn into imagery you can use:
Many artists are afraid AI will take away their jobs, but in fact it makes their jobs a lot easier as they can simply draw a rough sketch and have AI fill in the blanks. Like is shown in this video:

Looks like Hitomi Takano from "Hitomi-chan wa Hitomishiri".

No, the real question is...
Is the AI generation a tool being used by an artist to create something, or a lazy way to pump out content?
Which was answered.
The real issues with generated art are theft and bloat. (in this context. There are WAY more issues in others.)
When used properly, it is an assistive tool that simply allows an artist to do work faster, or to accomplish something that fits their vision but they can't do themselves.
The theft part is still important. Models SHOULD NOT be trained on work without explicit artist consent.
If I sketch some line-art and import it into tools to generate a 3D mesh with it until I'm happy with the model, then I import that mesh into a CNC machine and have it carve the model from wood, Am I a "wood carver"?
No.
Does that mean the wood sculpture isn't art?
Also no.
This dev seems to be using the tool correctly.
You are free to dislike it, just as you are free to dislike black-velvet clown paintings, but don't art-shame someone for not being art-enough.

It wasn't my intention. While I have criticized many developers, I have never engaged in art-shaming anyone here. My first post was related to the conversation below. I appreciate everyone's art, whether it's professional or amateur, equally. Have a good day!
