A furry tf (or personally i'd prefer scalie XD) would be absolute peak content.
Sadly it's just not really realistic to include as a general game feature i don't think. Like Finchy has said before if any tf content ever does get in it would need to be a temporary or self contained thing so that all of the existing art doesn't need to be redone, and so all future art doesn't require twice as much work.
Yes, it would definitely have a very drastic development cost, I *personally* see it as worth it but it's a very subjective thing. Such a feature would obviously make any new content take longer to develop, but it would also add substantial replayability as you could experience the game differently in each form.
Perhaps it could be tested in a specific, isolated event zone initially, and if it is works out well there then perhaps it could be expanded to the rest of the game?
I mean...i'm pretty sure all the art in the game is mostly just AI generated. it def has the look of it at least. if i'm right in thinking that, its not exactly extra art being made from him...its just 1 more input he puts into his slop maker. (that's just what i call LLMs, no offense to the person using them. I just don't like the ethics of the service itself.)
Yeah im not a fan of AI either, but this game scratches such a specific itch that nothing else does, and at least has some genuine effort put into it on the gameplay aspect. If the game ever really pops off in popularity though I would really really really love for actual hand-drawn art to be used for the game.
The use of AI definitely has me hesitant to share the game and support it financially but so far the dev has unexpectedly earned quite a bit of trust with how they treat the game and community, if there's ever an announcement of plans to hire an artist to create hand-drawn assets for the game i'd be far more interested in supporting the project.
