What the developer says
We reaffirm our respect for human artists and their work. Due to current technical limitations, we employed AI image generator during development and apologize to players for any concerns this may cause. AI tools such as Doubao, Gemini, and Stable Diffusion were used solely as references to visualize concepts and inform the creation of game content. All in-game AI assets have been substantially transformed — through redesign, editing, fusion, animation, recoloring, and pixelation in professional digital art tools — to produce original assets consistent with the game’s visual style. We do not use or reproduce AI-generated content created by third parties. All applicable copyright and licensing terms were reviewed to ensure lawful commercial use.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image tools were used during development, but claims all in-game AI assets were substantially transformed in digital art tools. This points to AI-assisted parts rather than AI-generated core content. The developer has only one game, released 40 months ago, so there is no volume-release pattern. Against: The disclosure is somewhat ambiguous about how much AI-derived material remains in the shipped assets, and the game has only 3 reviews, limiting outside verification. |
