So, for a few smaller games in the past (including tomorrow's Dinos Shakespeare 2 DLC), we have used AI backgrounds. We had both in-house discussions about it, as well as extensively made sure that the singular artist we used for said games was being ethical in what she fed her AI.
Scarecrows came out, and at the time, we assumed the generated art was made using the same level of care (as their prior art that we used from the same artist was painted), and while we have no reason to believe otherwise and do not wish to slander said artist, we will be working to attain new background art for Scarecrows. This might look like a combination of new and existing art or it might be new art altogether. Regardless, it will not happen overnight.
We will not be using AI art of any kind in any future games. We apologize to both our fellow developers as well as our customers for any ill will gained via our actions.
A 100% free adventure set in the North Pole, a few months before the holiday of Saturnalia. It is a time when all the hidden and magical creatures of world spread joy to humankind in the form of gifts and toys that seemingly randomly appear. Led by the High Fae, Klaus, this has been tradition for generations.
Until now.
With one week to go, Klaus has just up and left.... leaving the creatures of the North Pole in charge of getting everything ready. Where did they go? Why now?
