What the developer says
We do not use live-generated AI in our game. All AI-related work has been curated, and we take great care to correct and finalize all AI-related work to avoid copyright infringement and meet our quality standards. AI is used as part of our art creation workflow. For example, we may create parts of an artwork (texture, illustration...), bring them into a graphics editor, combine, tweak and overpaint them there, then use different AI tools and configurations to inpaint and re-create parts of the artwork or create variations, then bring the results back into a graphics editor and combine and tweak them again. This is repeated until the artwork is complete, at which point we extract and repaint parts of the artwork to create separate layers that can be used for animation or simply allow us to be more flexible with the artwork. AI is also used to extend artwork for different aspect ratios, to select parts of an image, or to upscale artwork. As a small game studio we use AI to help our artists and creatives to improve our output and stay competitive. We understand that AI is a topic of concern for many. Our idea is to use these tools responsibly to support and not substitute. Thank you for supporting our small studio. Your trust and understanding means the world to us as we strive to bring you the best gaming experience possible.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI is used within the art creation workflow for textures, illustrations, inpainting, and upscaling, so some shipped art is AI-generated. It also describes extensive manual editing, combining, and repainting, indicating real production effort. The developer has released no games in the last 12 months, so volume-release risk is low. Against: The studio emphasizes curation and manual finalization, and the game is not yet released, so the final proportion of AI-generated assets is uncertain. |
