What the developer says
This game uses AI-generated content in the following areas: 3D Models & Animations: We used Meshy AI to generate 3D character/object models and their animations. All assets were reviewed, adjusted, and integrated by our team to fit the game's visual style and quality standards. 2D Art: Background images in-game and certain store page visuals (such as screenshots/key art) were created with the help of generative AI image tools. Our team curated and edited the final outputs before shipping. All AI-generated assets were reviewed prior to release to ensure they comply with applicable laws and do not include infringing material. No live (runtime) generative AI is used during gameplay.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for 3D models/animations and 2D backgrounds, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. The developer says assets were reviewed and adjusted, and no runtime AI is used, suggesting human integration. Two releases in 12 months is not high-volume, and 5 reviews is low but not clearly abandoned. Against: Only 5 reviews 9 months after release, and both of the studio's games disclose AI, which could hint at a pattern of AI-heavy output. |
