What the developer says
Assets and translations are AI generated because I am not a good enough artist and I'm a solo developer. All are based on the original style I created for the game and my own (human) intentions. Some gameplay aspects are AI-enhanced. Gameplay gets significant human playtesting. I have spent over 300 hours working on this game with my own time before LLMs (2022) were released so you will find no shortage of love and care. If you've played before, I think you will find the game experience is much improved. That said, the game is still early access and is lacking on some non-core functionality/diversity, QoL, and polish.

The developer describes 300+ hours of pre-LLM work and human playtesting, indicating real effort rather than volume release. Only one game exists, so no mass-production pattern. Against: Developer claims original style, human intentions, and significant playtesting; no reviews yet, so player-visible AI extent can't be verified. |
