What the developer says
The things the player sees are mostly made manually by humans. But some visuals, like a couple of seamless textures that are used in the environment, were AI-generated and then modified by hand. AI was used to boost productivity generally, so it was used in a lot of workflows here and there to be finish tasks faster.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states most player-visible content is human-made, with only a couple of AI-generated textures later edited by hand. AI was also used in workflows for productivity, but no major asset types are covered. Developer has no rapid release history, so no volume signal. Against: The disclosure mentions AI used broadly across workflows, which could mean more AI content than the visible examples suggest. |
