What the developer says
BotWave is made by an individual developer through a pipeline that makes use of a generative AI system. AI systems assist in writing the game code as well as generating the chosen art and audio files; everything is scrutinized, tweaked, and tested manually before being shipped out. Content generation is not done by any AI at runtime.

The developer describes manual scrutiny and testing, and only one game shipped in the last year, so volume-release signals are absent. Runtime generation is explicitly denied. Against: The developer claims all AI output was manually reviewed and tested, and the game has few reviews but 100% positive, giving no sign of rushed volume. |
