SuperAuthenti, the developer of the upcoming MMO Catly, has addressed allegations regarding the use of generative AI for in-game assets. During The Game Awards 2024, Catly was introduced with a trailer showcasing realistic cats playing in a vibrant living room alongside a customizable human avatar. The whimsical visuals quickly drew attention, but controversy followed as viewers accused the developer of using generative AI for the game’s assets.
These accusations escalated after fans noticed the game’s Steam description appeared incoherent, leading to speculation that Catly might be a scam. Adding to these concerns were SuperAuthenti’s alleged connections to Kevin Yeung, known for promoting blockchain and NFT projects in the past.
In a statement to IGN, a representative from SuperAuthenti denied the claims, asserting that no generative AI was used in Catly’s development or trailer. They expressed surprise at the accusations, stating that AI technology is not yet advanced enough to create a video as detailed as the one shown at The Game Awards. To support this claim, SuperAuthenti shared an unfinished version of the trailer with IGN, highlighting the progression from early development to the final product.

The representative also dismissed rumors about Catly’s association with blockchain or NFTs. They clarified that SuperAuthenti has never issued or owned blockchain currency or NFTs, emphasizing that these concerns are unfounded.
The broader gaming community continues to grapple with debates around generative AI, blockchain, and NFTs. Many artists and industry professionals worry about the potential misuse of these technologies, fearing they could replace human creativity or appropriate work without acknowledgment.
Although Catly does not yet have an official release date, speculation suggests it might debut on Apple Watch next summer. Whether the controversy surrounding its development will affect its reception remains to be seen.
