At this stage of development, we’re focusing not only on new features, but also on improving the existing parts of the game. In the previous devlog, we showed how we create character portraits directly from their in-game 3D models — using updated lighting, improved skin shaders, and better hair textures. And while working on those new portraits, we had a thought: Why apply these improvements on…
During the announcement, playtests, and demo, we received a lot of feedback about one specific issue: AI-generated character portraits. Even though we clearly noted on Steam that these portraits were temporary placeholders, they still came up in a huge number of negative reviews. So we decided to solve the problem properly. ✅ Warhounds is officially moving away from AI-generated portraits. Our…

💡 A bit about AI in the WARHOUNDS demo During the demo, we used AI only for character portraits and a few UI illustrations.
