As a gamedev of nearly 30 years, I can absolutely definitively say you do not need AI as a placeholder.
You know what we used as place holders?
Fucking cubes.
Grow the fuck up.

The sparkles are caused by floating point differences between the two edges because the mismatch in vertcies between two sides of a polygon shell.

A fairly common issue I see with indy game posts, most notibly solo projects, is readabilty- the ability for the audience to translate or parse the visuals being shown.
This is a tricky issue as a solo devs are so used to seeing the individual parts they process the visuals with bias.

I think I have the basics for the face animation system in place. Should be expandable for future iteration.

I wanted to try doing a off-brand style, and I happen to notice my Gwenpool comics on the shelf. So, let's try Gurihiru style.
Results are not bad, but man do I hate trying to ink such thin lines. I like my lines chunky and backgrounds splatty.

I really wish games designers start to consider food and drink as a pool rather than a pill.
In other words, munching on food drains its health bar and adds to yours. Food and drink take time to fully consume, and you can hold it as you walk and casually munch, sip and set aside for later.

After nearly 30 years in gamedev, I retrained out of the industry for stability and sanity. However, that means starting over at base wages. If you can help support my writing and tutorials, that would really help.

A quick gamedev history story.
When I started my career, there were so few 3d artist the company I was hired by had to start a training school to make enough to actually make a big game.
At first we didn't know anything. Real time 3D was new and primitive, and nobody really had mastered it.
