What the developer says
About 98% of the art assets in this game are human authored. 100% are human edited. Which assets used ai: -7 pro logos that could not be satisfied with dev skills or outsourcing -The purple images in the SportsZone intro. These were generated because no public domain photos of 1990s era football players exist and pixel art or digital art were not appropriate. -The studio background and suit. -The store page assets used public domain images which then received minor ai changes, colors, hair, text, etc. This was done because they needed to look like real photos rather than obvious composites.
