What the developer says
This game was developed by one person, without the resources to maintain an art team throughout production. Some visual assets, sound effects, and music tracks were created with the support of artificial intelligence tools. That doesn’t mean the content was added automatically or without care. Every element, including the code, goes through review, testing, adjustments, editing, and adaptation until it fits the project’s visual identity, atmosphere, narrative, gameplay, and intended level of quality. But, the concept, world, characters, story, design, creative direction, implementation decisions, and the way everything was brought together were all handled by the one person responsible for developing the game — me.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some visuals, sound effects, and music, which are in-game assets players see and hear. It also describes human authorship of concept, story, characters, and design, plus review and editing of every element. The developer has no release history suggesting volume output. Against: The developer claims all AI-assisted elements were reviewed, edited, and adapted to fit the project, and the game is not yet released, so actual asset proportions can't be verified. |
