James Pond Legacy Artwork Defended as Hand-Drawn, Amid AI Allegations

TL;DR
System 3 released a statement defending the James Pond Legacy artwork and trailer as human-made, detailing a process from retro pixel art to a modern 3D render with manual touch-ups and denying any use of generative AI, despite ongoing fan accusations and prior criticisms from series creator Chris Sorrell about AI-generated content.
