What the developer says
EQUILIBRIUM uses generative AI to power its core gameplay mechanic: the Policy Terminal. LIVE-GENERATED CONTENT When a player types a directive or law in natural language (e.g., "Abolish the luxury car tax"), the AI Engine analyzes the request in real time and generates a structured governmental dossier, including: - Legislative feasibility analysis - Budget impact and financial coverage - Macroeconomic effects (GDP, debt, inflation) - Social and political consensus projections - Parliamentary vote simulation Model used: Anthropic Claude, accessed via API. Guardrails: AI output is constrained to a fixed set of structured fields defined by the developer. All numeric effects are clamped within bounds enforced by the simulation engine, so no AI output can produce values outside the game's defined ranges. The model operates only on the simulation state provided to it and cannot invent game data: commands that cannot be mapped to a valid government action are refused, and the player is offered bounded policy alternatives instead. No image, audio, or user-data generation is involved, and no player data is used to train any model. Because responses are generated at runtime, outputs vary between playthroughs: the same directive may produce different wording and different outcomes. PRE-GENERATED CONTENT The game's background music track was generated using AI tools during development and ships with the game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-heavy · AI scope: core · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI generates structured policy dossiers live at runtime, making generation central to gameplay. The soundtrack is also AI-generated. The developer has only one release, so no volume pattern exists, and 11 reviews after a month suggest limited reach but not mass production. Against: AI output is bounded by developer-defined fields and simulation clamps, and no art, voice, or writing generation is involved, indicating deliberate design constraints. |
