What the developer says
Signal Ghost uses a bundled local language model to generate fictional character dialogue during play. It responds to player-written IRC and direct messages using character context, relationship history, and current mission state. Signal Ghost runs on the player's device; its chat does not require an external AI service. Some pre-generated artwork was created with generative AI and edited for use in the game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-driven · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generates in-game dialogue live during play, making AI central to the experience. Some pre-generated artwork is also AI-generated, so several asset types are affected. The developer has only one release, so volume-release signals are absent. Against: The AI runs locally with character context and relationship history, and artwork was edited, suggesting deliberate integration rather than bulk generation; only one game released, so no volume pattern. |
