Flash Lite Image is worth considering for low-cost concept drafts when 1K output is enough. Google positions it around speed and cost, but says it is not optimized for multiple reference inputs or sequential edits. Gemini 2.5 Flash Image has a separate role: keeping an older integration running while a replacement is evaluated. These B-tier options have different reference limits, so compare the exact endpoints your workflow needs and check their output settings. For a recurring cast that needs consistent edits, evaluate the current Flash and Pro alternatives before committing. Keep any migration reversible. Google’s policy restricts sexually explicit content, including pornography and content made for sexual gratification, which limits their role in adult-game production.
