What the developer says
AI was used in the process of creating placeholder background artwork in Rogue Climber's current Early Access build. Since then, we've worked with artists and developed our own art skills to replace those assets with original artwork. All AI-generated artwork will be removed in our next major update. Thank you for your patience while we got there!

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI made placeholder backgrounds, a limited asset type, and that replacements are underway. The developer has released few games and only one discloses AI, so there's no volume-release pattern. Nine reviews with full positivity suggest a small but real project rather than mass production. Against: AI art is still present in the current build, so players may see it until the next major update; the developer's own account of replacement can't be independently verified. |
