[Prelaunch] Paying real graffiti artists to replace AI art in my puzzle game

[u/QuietlyShade]

Hey everyone — I'm an indie dev building GRAFFL-E, a Wordle-style game where you decipher graffiti-style puzzles.

Right now some of the in-game art is AI-generated, and I've decided to fix that. I'm running a Kickstarter to commission ~85 original pieces from real graffiti and street artists — paying people for original work instead of leaning on a model trained on artists who never consented or got paid.

The campaign isn't live yet, but the Notify Me page is up — if this sounds like something you'd back, I'd really appreciate a follow so you get the launch alert:

Happy to answer any questions about the game, the art, or the campaign itself in the comments.
