🛠️ 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, 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. Every scene is a flat single-layer PNG at full 1920x1080.
