What the developer says
This game contains pre-generated AI content. Some 2D art assets (key art, unit sprites, rune icons, and background tiles) were generated with an image generation model (OpenAI ImageGen) and then curated, edited, and composited by humans. Music and sound effects are procedurally synthesized (not AI-generated). Portions of the game code were written with AI assistance (Claude Code / OpenAI Codex) under human review. The game does not generate AI content at runtime.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states several 2D art asset types were AI-generated, so AI ships to players. It also says assets were curated, edited, and composited by humans, and audio is procedural, not AI. The developer has no recent releases, so volume signals are absent. Against: Human curation and editing of assets, procedural audio, and human-reviewed code suggest real development effort rather than mass production. |
