What the developer says
This game uses generative AI tools to create certain static visual assets, including background images, loading screens, character portraits, marketing materials, and ship illustrations. No generative AI is used during gameplay to create game mechanics, simulations, text content, or dynamic systems. All gameplay mechanics and simulation systems are entirely handcrafted and deterministic.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI tools made static visual assets players see, including portraits and ship illustrations, so scope is parts rather than none. Mechanics, text and simulation are declared handcrafted, and the developer has only 2 releases in 12 months, so no volume signal. 16 reviews at 68% positive after 3 months suggests a modest but real release. Against: Disclosure is developer-provided and unverified; AI use in marketing materials and portraits could extend further than stated. |
