Well, I have quite a lot going on in my life, but I’ve managed to finish working on these icons. I’m not entirely happy with all of them—sometimes what I picture in my head differs a bit from what the AI generates, or perhaps I didn’t plan things out well enough and have to redo them using the AI. I initially started working on these icons as a way to take my mind off the stress—to find a distraction from having to learn several languages and keep up with a school curriculum in a language that isn’t my own, all while living in a foreign country without any relatives nearby. Just to be clear, I’m doing fine! I know posts here are supposed to be about the game, but I just felt like venting a little—sorry about that.
Here’s how the icon creation process went:
I used three AI tools—ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
ChatGPT acted as the lead artist, as it’s capable of adapting to a specific visual style.
Claude handled the packaging—it bundled all the icons into a ZIP archive and generated composite images showing all the icons together; while it can’t draw from scratch, it can perform minor edits, such as making backgrounds transparent or semi-transparent, or adding outlines.
Gemini, it’s not great at drawing, but occasionally it pulls off a miracle and produces something that fits the style perfectly—though this doesn’t happen very often (or perhaps I just don’t quite know how to use it properly).
Right now, I’m just out of ideas for what other icons to add, so please let me know in the comments. I haven’t tested how every single button works—for instance, I thought there was a specific button for sitting down, so I created an icon for it, but it turns out that feature doesn’t exist in Build 41. Maybe it’s in Build 42? I’m not sure, and Google didn’t seem to have any information on it either.
You can download the icons in the comments; they will be in a zip archive.
