What the developer says
We use AI tools for marketing concept development, debugging, and brainstorming. All game content, assets, code, and gameplay systems are created entirely by our human development team. AI helps us explore marketing ideas and generate reference drafts for promotional materials, which are then recreated by our human designers ♥ Instead of using AI generated content to fill artistic gaps, we went with marketplace assets when necessary, and will replace placeholder assets with custom artwork as the budget permits.

Placeholder assets come from marketplaces, not AI generation. The game is unreleased with no curator evidence of AI content. Against: The disclosure is self-reported and the game is not yet released, so shipped content cannot be verified; placeholder assets may still be replaced. |
