Aniimo Pawprint Studios. NO disclosure, claimed they didn't use any and you wouldn't find any in their game. Players found it and have been calling it out since 2025, "sketch art", promotional material and in-game. -y

Aniimo steam store imagetwitter thread from AngoraZailia, the first post asys "Sadly, as much fun as I was having in Aniimo, I can't comfortably continue to play or support this game since there is some really blatant AI use going on here. Like... what even is this cry emoji"
With two pictures of an in-game conveyor belt and another of a box with weird smudges and markings on it.
The quoted post continues to say, "A lot of folks are discovering Aniimo again after the Game Awards. I was in the first beta and just gonna remind folks that its full of AI models and such sad tear emoji. Still sad about it."An "art" sketch that is clearly run through gen-ai or is entirely, red circles are over the odd parts that don't make sense in a line art sketch. It's of a playground slide with heavy inconsistencies.

Hey @retrogamebooks.com since the con is right across the street from where I work, maybe I can finally have the honor of meeting you in person during my lunch or something during the expo? Plus you're always welcome to visit the retro games store I am temporarily working at while you're in town!

I can't wait for Buttman to lose this lawsuit. Of course, he'll just simply focus more on his genAI music targeted towards children. It sucks because there are a lot of great artists signed to GameChops 😭 I also dislike Materia Music, but I'm actually rooting for them this time around.

We’re suing Materia Music. They are attempting to takedown our 600k YouTube channel, DMCA’d our licensed albums, lied to the public, and have been threatening me over email for a year. This should concern anyone who enjoys video game music or creates fan content. Read our suit GameChops.com/getem

I'm really happy I got to do this with @pixelsandpolygons.net ! I had a wonderful night talking to Darren about some really fun stuff. I also plugged @holdonpod.omg.lol and even @flannel.live's twitch stream! The rest though? It's a secret hehe 😉

I just recorded a couple of new episodes with @theletterten.lol from the @holdonpod.omg.lol podcast! It was a lot of fun! Thanks for jumping on with me. You can all look forward to these episodes in a couple of weeks!
