What the developer says
I've spent years developing *Tenants of the Shade*, and our team has devoted thousands of hours to programming, artwork, and music. We also use generative AI tools to assist with editing and creating select assets, including some in-game icons and 3D models, as well as promotional materials. The game is still in development, and these assets may change before release. We welcome questions about our creative process on Discord or in the Steam Community forums.
