First of all, yes CGs are AI generated, but this doesn't mean that development becomes instant.
Kal still does a lot of post processing and other things. And the amount of content in this sole update is much much much more, than most games get in a year or two.
Just trust the process. Kal has a great reputation, and he never failed fans in terms of content quality.
Not in mean way but he put this on himself with the really rigid thinking instead of adapting. Maybe starmaker really was a side project at first. It's not. Not anymore. Maybe he wanted to keep things clean. No added content past 2.0. 2.0 being the final update. Only solid updates. 1.1. 1.5. 1.8. only letters if it needs a gamebreaking bugfix. Because of his imposed rule he HAS to add as much as he can creatively within one patch.
Is not really a self-imposed rule. Starmaker was and continues to be a side project. That doesn't mean he doesn't love the project, hence why he is trying to put all of the content he envisions into it. Starmaker has been a wonderful game with which he has learned more about unity, and it continued to grow because every time is almost done, he thinks about something else that would be good to have and so he works on it.
