What the developer says
Explore the Universe 2175 uses AI in two distinct ways, and we want to be clear about both. Real-time simulation (the core of the game). The galaxy is driven by a custom AI system we built ourselves. Faction behavior, MEGABOT's roaming strategy, enemy tactics, and the way wars unfold across sectors are all computed live in our own engine — not generated text or assets. This is procedural and rule-based simulation: the "intelligence" you fight against is real-time decision-making, the same category as the AI in any strategy game, just deeper. Dialogue is human-written, scripted in advance. Music and sound are human-created. Some in-game entity visuals and animations are AI-generated (created during development, not dynamically while you play). Some marketing and store-page images are AI-generated. Gameplay screenshots are authentic. No AI-generated content is used to deceive players or misrepresent the game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some in-game entity visuals and animations, so AI content ships to players. Dialogue, music, and sound are declared human-created, and the real-time AI is a rule-based simulation system, not generative content. Developer has one game and no high-volume release pattern. Against: The 'AI' in the core simulation is procedural decision-making, not generative AI, and most asset types are declared human-made. |
