What the developer says
We utilized generative AI tools (such as Krea AI and MeshyAI) as assistive technologies during the development process to prototype textures for 3D models and generate base art assets. Additionally, AI was used to assist in the creation of marketing materials, including the library capsule images for the Steam Store page. All AI-generated elements have been heavily refined or integrated into our unique 'hand-painted sketch' art style to ensure they do not infringe on any existing copyrights or include illegal content. We guarantee that no copyrighted material was used as a final output without significant creative transformation and legal compliance.

These are in-game asset foundations and marketing, so some AI content ships to players. The developer has few releases and no volume pattern, so effort risk stays low. Against: The developer says AI output was heavily refined into a custom hand-painted style, and only 1 of 3 games discloses AI, suggesting limited rather than core use. |
