What the developer says
Graphical assets were made with the help of AI, since as an indie developer I have the know-how in coding but I am missing the skill to provide effective and appealing sprite assets.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with graphical assets, which players see, so scope is at least parts. The developer frames it as a solo coder using AI for sprites they couldn't draw, indicating limited rather than wholesale AI use. Release cadence is low (0 games in 12 months), so no volume-release signal. Against: No reviews 18 months after release could suggest low effort, but with only two games and no mass-release pattern this doesn't meet the high-risk bar. |
