What the developer says
I'm a one-person developer. That means I do everything; and some of it I'm just bad at. I use AI as a tool to cover the gaps: the tasks I hate, the stuff I'd waste hours on just to replace later. The tools don't make the art. Every idea and decision, everything that made it into this game came from me.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · mixed signals, low confidenceReasoningThe disclosure admits AI use as a tool but never names what players see or hear, so scope can't be pinned down. The developer has a long Steam history since 2017 and only 2 releases in the last 12 months, which argues against volume production. Zero reviews 16 months after release leaves little signal either way. Against: Developer explicitly claims all ideas and decisions are their own and that AI doesn't make the art; release cadence is low, not mass-produced. |
