What the developer says
AI helped me a lot when moving from GML to C#. The music in the Early Access version is also AI generated this is just a free-time hobby project and I mainly needed some semi ambient tracks to set the mood. Later on, I plan to purchase proper human made tracks before the full release. Towards the end of development I also used an AI plugin for Aseprite to speed up animating some of my own hand drawn sprites, but the very vast majority of the graphics was made by me, handcrafted, pixel by pixel.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI made the Early Access music and assisted animating some sprites, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. The developer says the vast majority of graphics are handcrafted pixel by pixel, and AI was also used for coding help. One release in 12 months and a hobby-project framing show no volume-release pattern. Against: Developer plans to replace AI music with human-made tracks before full release, and AI sprite use was only to speed up their own hand-drawn work. |
