Since we are not artists to make our own visuals, we used AI to do that part for us. The way we used the AI was we went on the website DeepAI, and we typed in there the keywords of the art that we wanted, and there's a selection of theme there as well, like how that art would look like with the keywords you have typed in. And after that one, just click \"generate\" and the AI will generate the art for you. You can also see some arts as well with the same keywords you have typed in. \n\nHere's the link for you to use: https:\/\/deepai.org\/machine-learning-model\/fantasy-world-generator\n\n![DeepAI.png](\/\/\/raw\/07a\/c4\/z\/55c54.png)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":904381,"author_name":"askbond","author_uid":"askbond","epoch":1673324224,"text":"How to get new person?

I like the idea of having farmers and being able to level them up and send them out each month for tasks.  Once I could actually see them, it worked quite well.  A few critiques:\n\nOne of the boons makes a farmer's level level 5, even if they're already level 12, so it's very demoralizing haha.  Repairing the Shelter costs way more than advertised. Events don't scale, so thief stealing 50 coins when you have 20,000 is no big deal.
