    Play &apos;The Unseen Depths&apos; and check out my hand drawn pixel art game assets here - <a href="https://sebbyspoons.itch.io/">https://sebbyspoons.itch.io/</a><br>Should I go back and replace the Fish art with my own style, or should I focus on refactoring that Hook script first? Let’s chat!

    Ooh creepy recommendation and timing! I literally just went back to that game a couple days ago since the jam ended! I took part as composer and sound designer with a team in that GWJ and we came #15 for audio and I was delighted, was a fun theme to make a game for! Great job on the game, might go play it again right now actually

    Congratulations! &nbsp;As a very new Godot developer, I really like seeing and hearing about other developer experiences. &nbsp;I just tried the game and it is really fun. &nbsp;As for AI art, I understand why people are always split. &nbsp;For me I see it as a tool, like an IDE or Photoshop. &nbsp;I&apos;m not using it to generate new art, but I do use it to clean up my images and smooth them out.

    I would be super interested to see what changes you would make to your code with the power of hindsight!

    Nice Job! I&apos;ve always been a bit of a programmer, so good code architecture has always been beaten into me. Unless your prototyping, then you can do basically anything you want.

    Oh my god I was part of this jam (we can see my game at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJcKwAy0O2c&amp;t=622">10:22</a> haha) ! It was my first one ever, didnt expect to see a video about a game of this jam this late lmao<br>Your game was one of my favourites !

    I would go back and change the assets, to be honest the game is a good idea and very workable. Go through those comments and make the changes the comments suggest. also maybe add more items not fish that can be caught.

    There&apos;s nothing controversial about using AI generated images/sound in games. It&apos;s stealing.
