1. No, all hand-made in Aseprite, except for the music, and the public domain sound is from freesound.org. I've got progress screenshots I could post. Want me to mute the music in the web demo? Everything in the download is hand-made by me over the last several weeks.
2. I wasn't encouraging AI, but I understand what you say. Robots have been around for decades before we had AI. I just meant cute pixel robots. In any case, I've added an alternative suggestion that doesn't mention robots. :)
No worries! That makes sense, it's hard to be sure these days. :) Maybe I should try doing a time-lapse of my drawings next time, and post it with any future art as a little gif.
By the way, I realised you're the same person I've been seeing commenting on many people's CC assets on itch, to tell people how to set their metadata! Thank you for that, I didn't know about asset metadata on itch until I saw your comments when I was browsing assets last year!
I helped many people, yeah and I like it but I am afraid that I committed more harm than brought usefulness to this world... You can find many people who set CC0 or CCBY4 and say "you can't redistribute"... They don't know what it means but set it... My comments are spread on the itch so anyone can find it and many of those who doesn't understand what license mean and just adds it just because... 🤦♀️
