What the developer says
The Heretic's Seal uses generative AI for some pre-rendered art assets, including character portraits, enemy and NPC illustrations, world map and biome backgrounds, and select promotional video clips. As a one-person studio, AI tooling lets a single developer ship dungeon-crawler-scale art volume. All gameplay systems, game design, narrative writing, code, level design, and runtime visuals are created by the developer. No AI runs during gameplay — every system, decision, and reaction in-game is hand-crafted code.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for several visible art categories, so scope is parts rather than none. Gameplay, narrative, code, and level design are declared developer-made, indicating real production effort. The studio has one game, not yet released, with no volume-release pattern. Against: AI covers multiple asset types (portraits, enemies, NPCs, backgrounds, promo video), which could push scope toward major; but the developer frames it as a one-person studio scaling art volume, and no release cadence suggests mass production. |
