i am going to lean ALL IN on a maximalist storybook fantasy ✕ garden gnome aesthetic in the CGI imagery in my video game. there is absolutely no way this could possibly backfire on me
@Lady what are you subtooting
@wallhackio the visual direction of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2
@wallhackio to be clear i think they largely made the correct choice. Kokiri Forest SHOULD look like Peter Pan and garden gnomes and have maximalist textures and fairy light visual clutter. i am not sold on the execution but i understand the vision here
but it also looks like somebody asked an a·i to enhance a screenshot of Ocarina of Time
what is that you say? artificial intelligence image generators have largely been trained by SF/F nerds who love maximalist storybook fantasy art and computer generated imagery? i don¦t see what that has to do with my video game
