What the developer says
AI was used exclusively to create temporary placeholder images for character skill and perk descriptions. This decision was made due to budget constraints during the early stages of development. As the project progresses and resources become available, all AI-generated assets will be replaced with high-quality, hand-crafted artwork created by professional artists.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to placeholder UI images, not shipped final assets. The developer has released no games in the past year, so there is no volume-release pattern. The game is unreleased, so effort signals are limited but nothing suggests mass production. Against: Placeholders could remain in the shipped build, and the game is unreleased with no reviews to verify final content. |
