What the developer says
Death Before Decaf uses generative AI tools to assist with visual asset production. This includes character and enemy sprites, environment art, and marketing capsule images, all created using a fine-tuned model trained on reference materials owned by Overdose Interactive (Scenario.gg with a custom DBD LoRA, plus Replicate/Flux for select assets). All AI-generated outputs are reviewed, edited, and approved by a human art director before being shipped in the game. The game itself does not generate any AI content at runtime: all assets are pre-rendered and bundled with the build. The game does not connect to any external AI services during gameplay.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-heavy · AI scope: major · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for character and enemy sprites, environment art, and capsule images, covering most visible asset types. No runtime generation occurs, and a human art director reviews outputs, suggesting some oversight. The developer has only one release, so volume signals are limited. Against: Human review and editing of all AI outputs, plus a custom fine-tuned model on owned reference materials, point to deliberate production rather than pure generation. |
