Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

Kotaku parading that garbage "recompilation" Generation 1 Pokémon project is genuinely upsetting. I was hoping the communities would reject vibe coded garbage, but these people are now intentionally hiding the usage and even lying that it's hand-written to peddle their slop onto others.

I’ve been slowly chipping away at restructuring the story for the fourth time. It's something I wanna get right.
One of the early drafts for Float's Story had a more depressing ending which I'm sort of glad I backtracked from it. Maybe some day I'll talk about the scrapped plot points.
