    Yes, but you can’t have professional art during the whole process of development. It’s far more efficient for a solo dev to test first before paying an artist to make the final assets.

    Game development is so chaotic, I’ve seen people throw away thousands of dollars of art because it turns out the game never needed those assets in the first place.

      I mean… There are free and super cheap assets that can be used for temporary placement. Plus I’m not against someone using AI for their assets.

      My point is, if someone’s gonna use two years or more of their lives for making a game, using AI art is going to go against them.
