Erosphere [v4.5.4.0-2k] [bdot.labs] v4.5.4.0-2k

Hell yeah!

Believe me I get that AI art is considered problematic by a lot of people. I consider myself an artist too (yes i mean the non-AI-reliant kind) and as such I’d rather abuse AI than be abused by AI. You can’t stop AI art after all so we have to evolve somehow. I’ve spend 40+ hours on single artworks before and I know the effort that goes into an art piece but I also know how tedious this process can be. AI allows me to spend more time on overall quality by cutting a lot of the time spent on that tedious part of the process. Also this process isn’t as straightforward as ‘press button get artwork’ I still have to make major decisions where the art should be headed and correct a lot of stuff for consistent character design and stuff like that.

The 2k version is free and publically available here. It features 2048×2048 gallery images.
The 4k version is available through patreon or subscribestar subscription. It features 4096×4096 gallery images but is more costly in terms of performance and hard-drive filesize.

Basically this is because I was too lazy to get comfortable with live2D or other animation software so I wrote my own animation framework. This framework kind of does animation in runtime and thus requires better than low specs. I’m sure i can optimize this some more but for now this needs to suffice. Also this framework gives me a bit of flexibility to do some cool effects. You can also turn those off if you don’t think they are cool – that should also improve performance.

I wanted the version to reflect how much content is in the game rather than have a version that basically tells you that the game is not finished. So this is what the version means:
Basically add up the first 3 numbers and you get the number of items in the gallery.
4 Scenes – All animated except for the first intro scene with multiple sequences.
5 (female) Character Renders (includes different outfits)
4 Cards
0 Minor Version (for bugfixes)
2k/4k Resolution of Gallery Images (2048×2048 or 4096×4096) – 4k version is available through patreon or subscribestar subscription

The cards are part of a game system that isn’t fully implemented yet. Meanwhile you can enjoy the visuals.

It’s only minor transformation but if you want to spoil it:
