Killing sora and what analogues I could find

With OpenAI shutting down their Sora project, I’m reaching out for help from experienced AI users. The thing is, I was using it to create assets for my visual novel - specifically the older Sora image version, not the video one. But now both versions are being discontinued. I’m working on this project alone, and unfortunately I don’t have the budget to hire artists. That’s why I rely on AI to bring my ideas to life. I’d really like to become a screenwriter in the future. At first, they limited me to 200 images per day, then reduced it to 50, and soon the site will be gone completely.
