1. timeline-based mesh deform
can produce simple animations from a single keyframe
can apply to separate limbs too for more control

in an attempt to make the game more relatable, enemies will spew nonsense at you like "job" , "bills", or even "pants".

AI is here to stay, whether we like it or not. Don't fear it, harness its power for *actual* creation.
This is a storyboard for an illustrator, it's not meant to be released as slop. Even if I would do that, we know we can do much better. But as the saying goes: Make it exist first.
Enjoy the peek!

Pardon my #AI but this is what it was made for:
super fast conceptualization.
This is a #storyboard mixing AI-generated images, actual game assets/screens , and quite a lot of manual work editing images, text and layout. And the good news:
About 80% of the AI images generated locally on a 1060 6GB
