What the developer says
Specifically: Tools used: ChatGPT What was created with AI: Capsule images, library assets, and in-game artwork (backgrounds, visual elements, UI components). Process: All AI-generated outputs were reviewed, curated, and edited by me to ensure they fit the game's pixel-neon aesthetic and overall style. Outputs that did not meet quality or style standards were discarded or further edited. Rights & legal compliance: I have taken care to avoid generating content that infringes on existing copyrights or trademarks. No prompts referenced real persons, specific copyrighted characters, or trademarked properties. The final assets are used only within this game and its marketing materials. No live-generated AI is used during gameplay. All AI-generated content was finalized during development and ships as static assets.

The developer says outputs were reviewed and edited, and no live generation occurs. Only one release in 12 months, so volume signals don't reach high risk. Against: Developer describes curation and editing of AI outputs and a coherent pixel-neon style; no reviews yet, so player reception is unknown. |
