What the developer says
AI should not take away people's jobs and turn paintings into posters, which is why DarkShine is developed as much as possible by human hands and their exuberant artistic impulses. In some rare moments, such as improving blurred textures and mechanical issues, it acts as an assistant where it is necessary to write a complex system with complex and comprehensive code without involving highly paid specialists. The majority of the game is the work of a living person with all their small achievements and mistakes.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to improving blurred textures and writing complex code, which are supporting tasks rather than shipped art or writing. The developer has released only one game, so there is no pattern of volume releases. Five reviews is few, but the low release count keeps effort risk low. Against: The disclosure is vague about how much code AI wrote, and texture upscaling touches in-game visuals, so the AI scope could be slightly larger than minor. |
