What the developer says
We utilized AI tools to generate internal references for composition and framing. These outputs were then used as a base to manually create handcrafted pixel art assets, ensuring all final in-game visuals follow our custom palettes and artistic standards.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI outputs were internal references, not shipped assets, so scope is minor. The developer has a long Steam history since 2015 and only 2 releases in 12 months, not high-volume. 33 reviews with 81% positive suggests a real, finished product rather than mass-produced output. Against: Only 5 of 25 games disclose AI, and the disclosure is self-reported; some AI-derived references could still influence final art. |
