What the developer says
No AI-generated artwork, 3D models, animations, programming code, story content, or music are used in the game. A large part of the game world is based on photogrammetry of real historical buildings, objects, and locations. Other assets were created in collaboration with artists or sourced from appropriately labelled, non-AI-generated content available through the official Fab marketplace. The story, storytelling, dialogue, game design, programming, and music were created by me as the developer. After being composed, the music was further edited and refined using audio-processing software. Generative AI was used exclusively to create some of the spoken voices in the game. The voices in the final scene were not generated with AI. All AI-generated voice recordings were carefully selected, extensively edited, re-cut, and acoustically modified by me to give each character a distinct voice suited to their role. No content is generated live by AI during gameplay. I personally do not support games whose creative content is produced largely or entirely through generative AI. Human creativity, craftsmanship, and collaboration with real artists are central to this project. Voice generation was used only as a limited technical tool and did not replace the creative development or the work involved in building the game itself.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states generative AI was used only for some spoken voices, a limited in-game asset type. Photogrammetry, commissioned art, Fab-sourced assets, and self-made music, story, and code indicate substantial human production. One release in 12 months and 12 positive reviews show no volume-release pattern. Against: AI-generated voices are audible content players encounter, so AI does ship in-game; the developer's stated stance against AI-heavy games is self-reported and not independently verified. |
