Behind the Scenes of Our New Tinker in WIP
Hey Itch.io!
So, I felt like the announcement of the new Tinker was met with some excitement here, so I took the liberty of putting together a little WIP to show you how the character was created!
A lot of people think our new Tinker is just an AI-generated image. I hesitated at first about whether I should respond, but I’d rather build a relationship based on trust with you, and (even if it breaks the magic a bit) show you the real work that goes into creating such polished characters 🪄
I managed to dig up as much as I could from our early creation steps — it’s been a while, I have to admit (we actually started working on this new Tinker back in 2024~).
We do a lot of pose research before finalizing a character — aside from the face, it’s really in the pose that you start to feel the soul and personality of a character.
For a NSFW game, color is something especially important.
(Yes, I know — the naked characters matter too xD — but color sets the mood and the overall harmony.)
It’s our job to make sure everything feels just right… so that you never even notice it!
Yeah, it’s silly, but we just added a single layer for the eye highlights — and it gives this amazing effect ~ Personally, I never get tired of it 💚
And here, you can see how many layers we’re working with! Yep, our files are massive — but don’t worry, we’ve got good hard drives too, ahah! To wrap things up, I think it’s fair to say we really care about what we create. We’re genuinely trying to deliver a high level of visual quality for the upcoming OPT — and we’re giving it everything we’ve got to get there.
( That said, I’m telling you now: I’m not doing this full presentation for every single character! Ahah 😅 )
But honestly, in a time where more and more 2D games (And especially for NSFW games) just generate a random AI-made character and call it a day, we felt it was important to show you how we do things, properly.
That’s it! Thanks a lot, and have a great day!
Bye ~

Thank you for taking the time to show the process!
As someone who was skeptical at first, I greatly appreciate the transparency. AI-generated images are starting to infiltrate a lot of games, especially on Itch, and sometimes it makes it hard for people who want to support actual artists over machine-made visuals.
Major props to the team for seeing the community's concerns, acknowledging the validity of those feelings, and using it as a moment to showcase the love and effort that actually goes into creating this game. 💜
Thank you very much! 🩵
I must admit that I understand people, I'm also quite paranoid with all the AI there is. (Just Pinterest becomes unbearable sometimes, it's a disaster for finding references) Honestly, I think we're going to start doing more and more of these "behind the scenes". Like you said, it's important to see when there's a real team of artists behind a project ~
Looking amazing so far
It really is mind blowing how much the art has changed and improved! Super excited to see what y'all are you too, keep up the great work! (No pressure <3)
i love it!!
