What the developer says
This game's development leveraged Gen-AI to sample in-game sprites for the player and enemy ships. These same sprites have been sent over to paid artists to create their own renditions of these sprites. All other assets such as music, sound effects, and steam page capsules were created by paid artists.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states Gen-AI sampled ship sprites that ship in-game, so some in-game assets are AI-generated. Paid artists reworked those sprites, and music, sound effects and capsules were made by paid artists. The developer has one unreleased game, so no volume-release pattern exists. Against: The AI sprites were reportedly handed to paid artists for their own renditions, which may reduce how much raw AI output reaches players. |
