So, what’s the innovative tech powering Catly‘s lofty promises? After noticing commonalities with AI generated art in the trailer, Digital Trends followed up with the Catly team to confirm if generative AI is being used to power the game, or if it was used in the production of its debut trailer. A PR representative said that the team wouldn’t be going into further detail until 2025, and similarly declined to share what game engine Catly is being built on yet. While that doesn’t confirm or deny anything about the project, it leaves some questions open as to why Catly is being marketed as technologically innovative, how it’s able to deliver entirely unique cats to all players, and how exactly an open-world game runs on Apple Watch.

Yeah, if you refuse to confirm or deny that your game is made w/ "generative AI" at this time then it definitely is.

Update 12/13: Prior to joining SuperAuthenti, it appears as though studio co-founder Kevin Yeung founded another Hong Kong-based gaming studio called TenthPlanet. In 2022, the studio revealed that it was working on two blockchain games. One of those was set to be Alien Meow, which GamesBeat called a “digital cat Metaverse.” The description of the project given in the article features some of the same talking points advertised in Catly, including highly detailed felines and an open world of sorts. That game was explicitly advertised as a web3 project where players would generate in-game value from cat breeding. It’s unclear if the game ever launched.

Is the AI slop also going to involve "blockchain" bullshit? Or are they just trying to launder that project as a non-nft game with a new company while using the new scummy technology fad before this bubble pops too?

But we've been fuckin mean,

we're elitist,

can you guess when I got lazy and did not clean up my lineart?
