What the developer says
During the development of Astral Trial, we utilize generative AI tools to assist and accelerate our creative workflow. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated, manually curated, and heavily refined by the development team. Specifically: - Visual Assets: We use AI image generators to assist in conceptualizing and creating base layers for 2D character portraits, event backgrounds, and certain UI elements. All generated images undergo extensive manual overpainting and editing to ensure they perfectly fit our specific dystopian, mature aesthetic. - Text and Narrative: AI language models are used as brainstorming partners to help outline world-building concepts, expand dialogue variations, and assist with translation drafts. The final in-game text is entirely rewritten and directed by the developer to maintain narrative consistency and emotional weight. - Code and Logic: AI coding assistants are utilized to optimize game logic and improve development efficiency. Please note: Astral Trial does not utilize any live-generated AI content (real-time generation) during gameplay. All assets are fixed and embedded within the game files.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for in-game 2D art assets, so scope is parts rather than none. It also describes extensive manual overpainting, rewriting, and curation, indicating real development effort. The developer has no rapid-release pattern, so effort risk is low. Against: Disclosure claims all AI content is pre-generated and heavily refined by the team, and no live generation occurs; the game is unreleased with no review data. |
