What the developer says
In the game, AI technology was used to assist in generating the majority of the art and audio assets, specifically the UI, character illustrations, background illustrations, and background music. To achieve the desired visual effect, I will manually make secondary modifications to the generated assets after they are produced. I am fully aware that AI-generated work cannot compare to the creations of outstanding artists and musicians, and I completely understand any attitude you may hold toward AI. If you are still willing to give this game a try, I would like to explain: I apologize that, as an independent developer, from a financial standpoint, it has become difficult for me to afford a large amount of art and music content. However, this does not mean I will treat this work lightly. I have already conducted multiple rounds of optimization and replacement for the game's art and music, and this work will continue. I will bring my sincerity and dedication, within the limits of my ability, to gradually pursue results that are more satisfying to everyone.
