What the developer says
Let's get this out of the way early, because you deserve a straight answer before you wishlist. The game is mine. I designed every system myself, the fear, loyalty and betrayal mechanics, the characters and their flaws, the branching structure, the whole idea of a team that destroys itself in the dark. That's the core of Ten for the Descent and it comes from me. Where AI is used: it assists in production. Some pre-rendered visual assets, marketing materials, and parts of the in-game text are AI-assisted, then reviewed and edited by hand before they ship. There is no live AI generation during gameplay, so nothing is being generated while you play. I'm a solo developer. AI lets me hit a quality bar I couldn't reach alone on this budget, so my real time goes into what matters: the design, the systems, and the choices that make your team fall apart in interesting ways. If that's a dealbreaker for you, I understand, and I'd rather you know now than feel misled later. Thanks for reading. Anary

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assists with some visual assets, marketing, and parts of in-game text, all reviewed by hand, with no live generation. That covers some shipped assets but not most of the game, so scope is parts. The developer's high release volume (58 games in 12 months) raises volume concerns, but this title is unreleased with no review data and the disclosure describes real design work. Against: The developer credits themselves with all core design, systems, and characters, and says AI output is reviewed and edited by hand; the game is not yet released, so no review evidence of low effort exists. |
