What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine some pre-generated 2D artwork used in the game and its marketing, including environmental backgrounds, character and item art, fossil and museum visuals, capsule and library artwork, and achievement imagery. All AI-assisted assets were selected, edited, and integrated by the developer before shipping. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to a live AI service.

No live generation occurs, and the developer says assets were selected and edited. The studio has only two games, so volume signals are limited. Against: Developer states all AI-assisted assets were selected, edited, and integrated by hand, and the game has no live AI generation; only two releases exist, so mass-production signals are weak. |
