What the developer says
We use generative AI during exploration and ongoing development, mainly to test ideas, create prototypes and placeholders, and explore different directions. Once we know what works, we rework, rebuild, or replace the results together with our artists and animators. Our goal is to replace every AI-generated element with human-made work in the final version of the game. Until then, we want to be open about how AI is used during development.
