What other sources say
| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe store disclosure states AI generated some 2D characters, so some in-game art is AI. That is a limited asset type within a strategy/colony sim with 62 reviews and a real release. The developer is a university with a single game, showing no volume-release pattern. Against: Only character art is disclosed as AI; no evidence of AI in other assets, and the single release with modest review count suggests a one-off project rather than mass production. |
