Jackdaw Games firmly believes in the irreplaceable value of human-created artwork, which we regard as unparalleled in delivering the immersive experiences our customers deserve. We hold human artists in high esteem and recognize their contributions as essential to the quality and authenticity of our games. As a testament to this belief, we are committed to ensuring that these talented individuals are appropriately compensated for their creative endeavors.

However, we also acknowledge the practical realities of budget constraints, especially for a small studio like ours. Therefore we leverage AI-generated artwork for our prototypes.  This approach allows us to efficiently iterate on our game designs while providing our playtesters with visually engaging content.

Nevertheless, we emphasize that AI-generated artwork serves as a temporary measure during the development process. For the final product, we wholeheartedly embrace the craftsmanship and creativity of human artists, elevating our games to their fullest potential.

In summary, Jackdaw Games remains steadfast in our commitment to fostering a thriving ecosystem where human creativity flourishes. We strive to strike a balance between budgetary considerations and artistic integrity, ensuring that our games deliver the captivating experiences our players deserve.
