What the developer says
AstralX uses generative AI only for some 2D illustrative images, primarily certain biome visuals and depictions of some races/species. The game contains well over 1,000 such visual elements, which is why generative AI was used to assist with part of this 2D artwork. Generative AI is not used for the game's simulation, mathematical calculations, gameplay rules, mechanics, or underlying systems. These elements were designed and developed manually by the developer. 3D content is also not generated using AI. The music was composed manually and performed by a real pianist. The sound design was likewise created through traditional human production rather than generative AI. No generative AI is used dynamically during gameplay.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used only for a portion of 2D illustrative art, while simulation, mechanics, 3D content, music and sound are human-made. The developer has released no games in the past year, so there is no volume-release signal. Most of the shipped game appears hand-built. Against: The game contains over 1,000 AI-assisted visual elements, which is a large count, though they are described as one asset category within a broader hand-made game. |
