What the developer says
Marketing key art (Steam store capsules, library art, page background) and the comic-book intro trailer were generated using Fal.ai's Flux 2 image diffusion model. Initial concept sketches and in-game sprite references were generated using ChatGPT's image generation, then hand-cleaned and integrated by the developer. All assets are pre-rendered at build time and shipped as static files within the game package - no generative AI runs during gameplay, and no AI is used to generate live content for players. AI was not used for code, voice acting, music, or any system that interacts with the player at runtime.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to marketing art, the intro trailer, and concept/reference sketches that were hand-cleaned. No AI runs at runtime, and code, voice, music, and gameplay systems are declared human-made. One release in 12 months with no volume pattern. Against: Zero reviews three months after release, so player reception and the final in-game asset quality can't be verified. |
