What the developer says
I used AI-generated images as early starting points for some promotional key art and in-game lore portraits. I then personally edited, retouched, and finalized those images. No generative AI is used to create content, code, or text while the game is running.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI images were used for key art and in-game lore portraits, so some shipped assets are AI-derived. The developer says they personally edited and finalized these, and no AI runs during play. Release pace is modest (2 games in 12 months), so volume signals are limited. Against: Only a subset of assets is affected and the developer reports hands-on editing; 0 reviews two months after release is a weak signal given the small catalog. |
