All AI-generated textures have been removed and replaced with human-made placeholders.

When I started developing Atavi 2, I used AI-generated textures as temporary placeholders for some of the game's visual content. They were useful for quickly exploring ideas and getting a feeling for the direction I wanted to take.

However, I never intended for those textures to represent the finished game.

Over the course of development, I have now replaced all AI-generated textures used inside the game itself with assets created by myself.

The game's cover image is still AI-generated, but it will eventually be replaced as well.

This is another small but important step in moving Atavi 2 from an early prototype toward the game I actually want to create.
