Solo developer's party game struggles with a character AI couldn't draw convincingly

A solo developer from South Korea built a pose-matching mini-game for his party app, Party Picker, where players copy a figure's pose after a brief view. He asked an AI tool to generate the character, but the drawings had awkward proportions and poor faces, so he eventually removed the face entirely. The final character is a faceless wooden mannequin drawn in code with CustomPainter, though AI also wrote that drawing code. He also adjusted the controls, limiting movement so only the grabbed joint rotates, but he felt the game was not fun. He concluded that AI has improved at coding but not at visual design.
