What the developer says
As a solo developer, I used generative AI tools to assist in creating many of the game's character sprites, environmental art, and audio assets. This allowed me to focus my limited time on the things I care about most: deep mechanical systems, addictive prestige progression, satisfying combat feel, and making the "numbers go up" fantasy as juicy and rewarding as possible.

Against: Developer describes focusing limited time on mechanical systems, combat feel, and progression, which points to genuine design work; only one game released, not a high-volume pattern. |
