What the developer says
To help bring this game to life as a small developer, generative AI tools were used during development: In-Game Text & Item Descriptions: Item names and catalog text were drafted with the assistance of AI (Gemini) and subsequently edited/curated for flavor and world consistency. Code & Development: AI tools (Claude) were utilized for coding assistance and backend implementation throughout development. All final design decisions, gameplay balancing, and asset integration were directly authored, tested, and polished by human hands.
