Indie dev loses visual identity as OpenAI shuts down DALL-E 2
MatthiasTh · reddit · 2026-08-26
An indie game developer shared the struggle of losing the visual identity of his game 'Fusiomon' due to the shutdown of gpt-image-1 (DALL-E 2). Despite weeks of testing with gpt-image-2 (DALL-E 3), he cannot reproduce the specific art style. The game's core mechanic (fusing monsters) exacerbates this, as new offspring would look different from parents. He wishes to pay for continued access to a frozen version of the old model.
