What the developer says
I'm a solo developer. Without AI tools, this game would not exist — the art, music, and copy would have been unaffordable to commission and impossible for me to produce alone. AI let me focus on what I actually built by hand: the game design, the mechanics, the 181 tomes, the scoring engine, the balance, the words. What's AI-generated: • Visual art (backgrounds, character portraits, tome/scroll/blessing illustrations, store page art) — generated with AI image tools, curated and selected by me • Music — generated with AI audio tools, curated and selected by me • Some flavor text and descriptive copy — drafted with AI assistance, edited by me What's not AI: • The game itself — every system, mechanic, balance number, character design, and core decision is mine • The dictionary, the tile distributions, the scoring math, the run structure, the boss fights — hand-built • The code — written by me with the help of AI assistants the same way any modern developer uses them No AI runs at runtime. Nothing is generated for you on the fly during play. Everything you see was reviewed before it shipped.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-heavy · AI scope: major · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states visual art, music, and some flavor text are AI-generated, covering several major asset types. The developer describes hand-built systems, scoring, and balance, showing real design effort. Only one release in 12 months and no runtime AI, so not mass-produced. Against: Developer claims substantial hand-built design and mechanics, and no AI runs at runtime; only one game released, not a volume pattern. |
