What the developer says
Generative AI was used only for pre-generation of some content. It was used to create some marketing materials for the store page, as well as music and some sound effects. All such content was reviewed, selected, and finalized by the developer before being included in the game or published on the store page. The game does not utilize real-time generative AI. Generative AI does not contribute to the story, enemy behavior, gameplay, dialogue, or any other interaction with the player during gameplay.

Story, gameplay, dialogue, and enemy behavior are explicitly not AI-generated, and content was reviewed by the developer. Only 3 games in 12 months, so no volume-release signal. Against: Only 3 reviews four months after release is thin feedback, but the release cadence is not high enough to indicate mass production. |
