  • Opinion on potential art changes (future of the game)

    I adore the pixel art/tooling style !! forgive me if im wrong, but the art style is currently not pure pixel art, but a pixel outline/base with tool shading for details, yes? this art style is very unique, and special to me. i used to be on avatar forum sites a lot, and a few of them used this tooling/pixel style for the avatars and items! I created some items there as well. I really love this art style!

    I dislike the new potential styles... but what worries me much more is that this posts says these were AI generated... : / I am very very much against AI especially in the use of art. I know you said the final product would use a real artist, but i feel any use of AI art generation damages artists everywhere. > .< AI art generators stole data from real artists in order to create their engines... i am not trying to be too negative or critical, i just have very strong opinions about AI art. : /

    wanting to bring more people into the game is great!! trying to think of something new to entice people can be a good idea. however, i think you might have better success trying to bring back original users of the game rather than cater to a new audience. perhaps I am only projecting , but I totally forgot this site existed until I got an email about it. I am pretty excited to get back into it! I have been reading some of the forum posts, and I see people mentioning furniture and im like !!!!!!!!!! 0.0 I WANT FURNITURE !!! and i wanna participate in the events ...

    i feel like, bringing back some features and events, and creating new events and flowers, might be the direction to go in to bring back users to the site ! perhaps adding a new mini game, or even adding a small new feature to the game could do it! i am not sure how changing the style of the flowers would bring in a large amount of new people tbh : / i am 33, but i dont think the majority of younger people would ever be interested in a game like this or dragoncave. i like slow pace, but EVERYTHING these days is fast fast fast, and young people have grown up with that. but the very nature of a game like this is chill and NOT quick. so it will likely not be very appealing to many young people, ever, even with an art style change.
