Oof yeah, I totally get what you mean. Makes sense that you’d come back to him in between other stuff rather than just grinding nonstop. Still, those editing sprints sound intense . But hey, now I’m even more curious to see the final version. Also Viv is right, a behind-the-scenes video would go so hard. Even if it’s just like a casual walkthrough or timelapse once your setup stops being cursed, I think a ton of people would appreciate seeing how the process goes. And yeah, no stress at all about the full-body Matt! I’ll totally keep my eyes peeled on patreon for new CGs and future high-res drops. Anyway, glad things are moving forward and that you’re giving yourself a bit of breathing room too. You 100% deserve it. Can’t wait for the new update!!!

The fact that you took the time to explain everything in such detail just shows how much love and care you're putting into TrueClash. I really, really respect that. 🙏 The AI topic is indeed complicated. Like yeah, there are definitely games out there that feel soulless because they just slapped AI content in with zero effort. But that’s not what this is. I was able to feel the difference and I had no idea how much Photoshop work and tweaking goes into making everything feel right. That sounds exhausting but also super impressive. Like, spending weeks on sober Harry? That’s dedication. It honestly sucks that people assume it’s just “click a button, boom, finished.” From what you’ve said, it's clear you're putting in way more effort than most people realize and your honesty about not comparing your work to traditional illustrators? Mad respect. You're being real about your limitations and your growth, and that’s rare. I also had no idea you tried hiring artists before and got ghosted, that sucks. It’s incredible that you were able to keep going after that, most people would’ve given up. I’m really happy you found someone like Mark for the GUI work though! Sounds like things are moving in a great direction. Now… Matt 😭 Yes, I’m 100% taking you up on those 4K images because I need that dakimakura. If you’re ever up for it (no rush at all!), maybe you could send over the poses you personally think would work best for it? You know him better than anyone, so I totally trust your taste. Something that really shows off his charm—and maybe even a couple spicier poses, if you're feeling generous 👀 Just whenever you feel like it, no pressure at all. I’d love to make it perfect, but I know how busy things must be and I can’t wait to see the new CGs of him in 0.2 and 0.3! Anyway, I seriously appreciate the honesty and vulnerability in your message. You didn’t say anything bad, just real stuff and that’s honestly the best kind of message to get. Thanks again and please tell the rest of the team they're doing an incredible job.
Hey, I’ll be honest. I’ve always been 100% against AI usage like create full illustrations with it and stuff like that though I'm not against in receiving some help from it, but despite that, I ended up trying the game… and I loved it. As long as everything else isn’t AI-generated, I can accept it. I get that illustrations take a lot of time and effort to create, and considering the game is completely free, I understand why AI might have been used. Soo, what really pulled me in, was the story, it’s genuinely compelling. I’m a huge fan of things related to boxing, and the aesthetic of the game is just incredible. The way the characters are written also blew me away. There’s real personality and emotional depth there, and that’s what left me in awe. But, if I’m being really honest… the first thing that caught my eye before even playing was how freaking HOT Matt is. I was shocked! AI or not, he’s stunning. I’m dead serious when I say I need a full-body image of him, because I’m already thinking about making a dakimakura so I can cuddle with him 😭 It feels like this game was built for my tastes, and that’s just wild. I’ll absolutely be supporting you and keeping an eye out for new updates ( I’ll be waiting for new patches desperately!). You’ve created something really special here and that's not sth you see everyday.
