What the developer says
Metal Thunder is made by a solo developer, and AI tools are part of how one person can build and compete at this scale. AI was used for some store page assets and for select in-game art in supporting roles, never as the focal point. Nothing was dropped in as-is. Every asset was directed, edited, designed and placed with human intent.
