What the developer says
To enhance our creative process and development efficiency, our team has integrated AI-assisted tools in the making of [The Gutter]. We employed Google Gemini as a creative partner to help draft and refine parts of the game's narrative, dialogue, and in-game text, as well as to assist with localizing our store page for different regions. Please rest assured that AI is just one part of our workflow. All final content presented to players, from individual words to the overarching story, has been meticulously designed, reviewed, and revised by our human developers to ensure the highest quality and the best possible player experience.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states Gemini assisted with narrative, dialogue, and in-game text, so some shipped writing is AI-influenced. It also covers store-page localization, a minor scope. Human review and hand-drawn pixel art suggest real development effort, and the studio has only one release. Against: The developer says all final content was designed and revised by humans, and the hand-drawn art style points to manual asset work. |
