What the developer says
Some 2D visual assets in Hollow Stars were created with the help of generative AI image tools during development. This includes parts of the store and marketing artwork, the achievement icons, and background art used in the game's cinematic intro. Every AI-assisted asset was reviewed, edited and curated by the development team before release. Generative AI is not used while you play. The game runs no generative AI at runtime — the in-game faction "AI" is a fully deterministic, rule-based simulation, not a generative model. No player input or data is sent to any AI service.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image tools were used for store art, achievement icons, and cinematic intro backgrounds, all reviewed and edited by the team. No runtime generative AI is used. The developer has only two games, both disclosing AI, so there is no volume-release pattern. Against: Only one review exists a month after release, which limits evidence of effort, but the developer has just two games and no rapid-release pattern. |
