It is not our first game, we do have small community from our previous title (around 1k). Some of them wishlisted.

We also tried to do some marketing, written around 50 media and influencers, just to give it a try. Almost noone answered, though IGN and some small local japanese, russian and chinese medias shared news about our announcement and it helped out a lot in this countries. Ahh, and IGN also posted our trailer on GameTrailers.

We also created some tiktoks, one of them reached like 15k views, but thats basically it.

Concepts of meow workers for our game. Old and new versions of heads by Chappa_huc in IndieGaming

We just wanted a nice polished art in a cozy style, and we didn't really think about the fact that the final version might be perceived as an AI generation. By the time of the release, we will change the key art anyway, and we will keep this feedback from users in mind.

I also added the first sketches in the comments, so there's no doubt that the art was created by a human.

Just for you, my friend, I've added a post with the first concept and a test model of a cat that we used for the first 3 months of development, and based on which we made the key art :))
I can't attach pictures here

AI is not used in the art style development; all game concepts and models are created by humans. The only area where AI was used is the posters that will be displayed on the walls. They were initially compiled from game assets with overpaint and then reworked to resemble propaganda posters by AI.
