What the developer says
During the visual development process, I used generative AI tools (Leonardo AI, ChatGPT, etc.) to generate initial concept art and ideas. Using these concepts as a foundation, I manually redrew and refined every pixel in Aseprite, split them into layers for parallax effects, and converted them into functional game assets for Unity. — Esra Soner (Catstanbul's Developer)

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated only initial concepts, which were then hand-redrawn into final assets. That points to limited AI involvement in shipped content. The developer has one game, not yet released, with no volume-release pattern. Against: Concept art is AI-derived and could influence final visuals; the game is unreleased, so final assets can't be verified. |
