What the developer says
We continue to draw all game art by hand. Some of our sounds have been generated using a tool called ElevenLabs. We use a wide range of co-development tools to help optimise and test the code in our minigames. We have used tools like OpenAI to help with localisation of our content to other languages.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some sounds and localisation, which players hear and read, so scope is minor rather than none. Art is claimed hand-drawn and code tools are described as optimisation/testing aids. The studio has no recent release cadence suggesting volume production. Against: The game is unreleased with no reviews, so the actual extent of AI audio in the shipped build can't be verified. |
