What the developer says
The development of Zero to Hero was assisted by Generative AI tools (Large Language Models). As a solo developer and non-programmer, I utilized AI to help write the game's source code, debug errors, extensive refactoring, and assist in designing mathematical progression systems. All AI-generated code and content were manually reviewed, tested, and refined to ensure a cohesive and fun gameplay experience. The game's core design, vision, and final polish are human-curated.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers code assistance, debugging, and progression math, not shipped art, audio, or writing. One release in 12 months and 16 reviews suggest a small solo project, not volume output. No curator evidence of AI assets in the game itself. Against: AI involvement in core code and progression systems is substantial for a solo non-programmer, though it is not player-facing content. |
