No AI art left in Big Bad Pharma

Big Bad Pharma · published 15 Aug 2026, 01:30 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

When Big Bad Pharma launched, some of its art was AI-generated: the capsule art, the logo, the achievement icons and the store page images. You told me that mattered to you, and you were right. As of today none of it is left. Every piece has been redrawn by hand (and mouse).

What has been replaced

  • Achievement icons — all 21, redrawn and swapped in.

  • The logo — redrawn from scratch, and it is now the logo on the store page, in your library and in the client.

  • Store capsules — header, main, small, vertical and library capsules.

  • Library hero and page background — the last two, done today.

Everything is drawn as flat vector art in the game's own palette, so the store page, the library and the icons finally look like the same game.

On the achievement icons

These went in first because they were the ones you saw most often. All 21 are hand-drawn, with matching locked versions.

Why it took a few weeks

I am one person, I am not an illustrator by trade, and at launch I used AI art to fill gaps I did not have the time to fill myself. That was the wrong call. Learning to create these took longer than shipping a patch, but it is done, and every asset from here on is made by hand. I know they are far from perfect and I'd hate to admit how long it took me!

I don't think I have ever had such a productive week in my life, happy weekend everyone!

Game update13 Sep 2026Big Bad Pharma V1.1.6 patch notesThis one started with me sitting down and reading every thread on the discussions board in one go, then going through the game's code looking for the causes rather than the symptoms. Six separate threads were about the same thing, one achievement I thought I had fixed was still not unlocking, and a couple of you had found problems I would never have spotted on my own machine. Thank you for all…Game update30 Aug 2026Big Bad Pharma V1.1.5 patch notesA few of you sent in reports that turned out to be much more useful than you probably realised, one comment about an achievement that "never triggers" and one very patient write-up about being told you were a single item short led me straight to two bugs that had been sitting there since long before V1.1.0. Thank you for those. 🌱 "You did it raw, dawg" now actually unlocks. This was properly b…Game update19 Aug 2026Big Bad Pharma V1.1.4 patch notes🌱 No more 1/1 shelves. The two halves of the rule now live together properly. While a product still has unshelved stock, a fresh segment sizes itself to exactly what remains — that is V1.1.2's fix and it stays (27 Pedibree Minis still fill a 15-slot shelf, then a 12). But once a product's stock is fully spoken for elsewhere, an extra segment now claims the shelf's full natural capacity again,…
