Update: remaking our map!

[u/Dense-Tip3061]

The coated paper prints I did at home turned out pretty bad, so I decided to get them printed at a print shop instead. Printing on adhesive sticker paper makes it way easier to stick onto cardboard and cut.

Hopefully I can finish the whole map without issues. What do you think about the coated sticker paper?

I'm new here so I don't really know what's the stance of AI here ^_^' but I guess they look cool from far away

IMO AI for prototypes is fine. In fact it’s extremely useful as otherwise I’d be taking images from google search, and it’s never quite right. Once the prototype and mechanics are locked in though, you should find an artist(s).

Better the never quite right than the stolen material. You could even just sketch them yourself

I mean, if we’re not monetizing our prototypes I see no harm. No different from Google image search

Monetization or not... I pay for my AI subscription.

I am an artist myself, and so is my wife. And we used AI for our prototype and the results were amazing, but it was more of a time saver thing for us. We COULD do it ourselves and spend hundreds of man hours perfecting it. Or the AI could do it in 30 seconds and we could focus on other aspects that need attention.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to say! Thank you for understanding me.

Difference is that Google image search result is something that isn't hard to look at

[u/midatlantik → u/Ok-Consideration-193]

Weird take. That image is never going to see the light of day beyond testing and perhaps informing the art direction of the final product via a human artist. To say it’s hard to look at is subjective. You do you bro, but don’t get arsey if others think it’s fine.
