Posts like these always make me lose faith in specific communities. It's not the first time idite has been accused of using AI. There was another guy on a different website who used an AI image detector as proof for his accusation, and idite just ran an official sprite of Charizard through the same tool which came back as nearly 100% AI positive.

I think you're spot on in regard to the fact that these types of people come looking for only one answer. They aren't looking for clarification, they are looking for validation for an answer they have already determined in their heads. Idite goes through all this effort to defend himself, but some of these people are so lazy, they can't even bother to run their witch hunt essays through spell check. I'm being genuine when I say this, trying to decipher what OP was attempting to say was actually painful.

There's a lot of artists on the discord server, and although I'm not an artist, I'm slowly starting to learn how to properly recognize AI generated pixel art. To set the record straight, most if not all of those artists can accurately tell if something is AI generated, and they wouldn't hold back on idite. They'd be the first people to call idite out if there is even a possibility of any of these claims being true. It's hard to believe this person's claims of being an artist, considering how lacking their judgement is in comparison to all the artists I've had the pleasure of interacting with. If they really are being genuine, I hope they don't double down because they would look even more foolish than they already do.

Idite puts so much work into this game, and I always hate when people pull out these wild accusations or complain about a game they have the privilege of playing for free, trying to impose their will on idite when they don't like how he made a specific part of the game. The reason updates take so long is also self-explanatory. It turns out having to manually draw all these scenes takes literal months, who would have thought??? If AI was ever involved, the wait would not be this long. I don't think people realize the timeline this game has been running on. I suspect the next thing someone will try to use to accuse idite of using AI, if they haven't already, is inconsistent art styles that can attributed to idite attempting to get other artists on board with the project.
