What the developer says
We have utilized AI-assisted design for the store materials and some 2D background images within the game. However, these are not purely AI-generated; they are based on our original photographs that were enhanced using AI technology, and subsequently refined manually to ensure quality.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for store materials and some in-game 2D backgrounds, so AI content ships to players. The developer says these derive from original photographs and were manually refined, indicating real production work. The game has 192 reviews at 77% positive, showing substantial player engagement rather than a quick volume release. Against: The developer released 19 games in 12 months and 30 of 33 disclose AI, which suggests a high-volume pattern, but this game's review count and manual-refinement claim point to more effort than a mass-produced title. |
