What the developer says
As a solo developer, I utilized generative AI tools during the development process in the following ways - Visual Assets: AI was used to assist in the creation and enhancement of certain background images and textures. All final assets were manually reviewed and integrated to ensure quality and consistency. - Text & Localization: I used AI for proofreading, refining the phrasing of in-game text, and assisting with translations into multiple languages to ensure a polished experience for players worldwide. - Voice Generation: AI was used to generate certain voice lines in the game. All audio content was reviewed, selected, and integrated manually to ensure it fits the intended tone and quality. All AI-assisted content was pre-generated and manually verified by me to ensure quality and compliance. The game does not feature any real-time AI generation during gameplay.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for background images/textures and voice lines, both player-visible, so scope is parts rather than none. Text and localization AI is supporting work. The developer is a solo dev with no rapid release pattern and no signs of low-effort volume. Against: All AI content was pre-generated and manually reviewed, and the game is not yet released, so actual shipped AI content can't be verified. |
