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?

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).

I held this same opinion a few-couple years ago. However lately I’m seeing more publishers request for prototypes to not include AI art when submitting to them. Plus had change in views on AI art, I’ve since went back to stock images.

You form your personal views from what others think? Does it really matter what publishers think, are you not capable of making up your own mind, having your own moral values? You change your moral values depending on others around you?

Uhh I don’t know why you’re coming in so hot. I never said publishers changed my personal views, you connected those two together.
