Yesssssss

Slay The Spire 2's placeholder art should be a lesson to all the developers caught up in AI-generated nonsense

Rather than get caught up in the generative AI debate, Slay The Spire 2's developers have worn their placeholder art on their sleeves

@cwebber there should be a mode that replaces all the art with the placeholders. I love it.

@Scmbradley @cwebber in the first game that's something you unlock once you beat the game, wouldn't be surprised if they added that again

@HeNeArXn @Scmbradley Yeah! And you can set it per-card

Some of the placeholder art is better than the final ones. Especially "Immolate", "Tantrum", "Fasting", "Wraith Form", and "Whiplash" are really good

@HeNeArXn @Scmbradley The watcher ones are a bit different because some of the "beta art" actually came out later, so it's basically fanart made after the fact, but some of them are so good

@HeNeArXn @Scmbradley I love Slay the Spire so much it's kind of a problem

I haven't gotten to play StS2 right now. I currently quarantine all my proprietary gaming to my Switch (1).
