🛠️ How This Pack Was Made

The artwork is generated with AI tools, then every single image is reviewed and finished by hand in Photoshop - artifact repair, color correction, consistent framing and palette, transparency cutouts where needed, correct sizing and clean file naming. Anything that doesn't meet the bar gets regenerated or fixed by hand.

🎮 Shipping on Steam?

Steam asks developers to disclose pre-generated AI content. You can simply paste this into your disclosure: "This game uses licensed AI-assisted 2D art assets, manually reviewed and refined by the vendor (AssetSmithy)."

💡 Notes

All backgrounds are delivered as complete, ready-to-use scenes in a unified art style - drop them straight into your project. Each scene features an open foreground area along the bottom, designed to provide clear space for character sprite placement and UI overlays without obscuring important visual elements. 14 of the 50 backgrounds include a matching transparent foreground PNG that can be layered on top of the corresponding background to create parallax scrolling effects, scene depth, or to frame the playable area. Both layers are full 1920x1080 frames and line up exactly. The remaining 36 backgrounds are flat single-layer PNGs.
