Semihot(?) take: As an artist and animator for indie games, I ADORE "programmer art". It's literally my favorite genre. Stick figures and hand drawn assets read "I put my heart and soul into going out of my comfort zone and beyond my physical capabilities to do what I love."

Whereas I feel confident saying that most folks playing indie games read AI art as "I just want money" This take is more for solo devs with little to no art background If a solo dev can't afford an artist and still wants to make a game, the terrible MS paint art is SO much more charming than AI

@cammycomposer.bsky.social literally sent an MS Paint artwork for me to reference off of. I freaking love that.

YOU UNDERSTAND I love when @waveparadigm.com pulls up MS paint to show me his visions This was meant to be a t-shirt
