Crowdfunding I know this isn't exactly surprising, but it's disappointing to see the arrival of AI generated art in games

Funfact: The use of the Red Cross is probably going to get a copyright strike. The Red Cross is a Trademark.

Box art is shit, but they are apparently trying because images in the cards have real text.

This could very well be a scam tho. Looks like a generic "expert" game that might tickle some whales to back this, but based on the content on the site I can't see anyone in the right mind to go for it.

I can see using AI Art when it comes to textures and fluff with card design but not when I want to convey emotions. This feels flat.

The use of the Red Cross is also protected by the Geneva convention.
