What the developer says
Some of the artwork in Scoundrel: The Descent, including the illustrated card art and background images, was created with the help of generative AI tools and then reviewed and edited by hand. No AI-generated content is produced while you play. If you would rather not see it, settings includes a “No AI art” option that replaces illustrated card art with simple icons. Background artwork remains visible.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped create card art and backgrounds, which players see, so scope is parts rather than none. The developer hand-reviewed and edited the art and offers a toggle replacing AI card art, suggesting real production effort. Only one release in the past year, so no volume-release pattern. Against: Only one review so far, and the developer is new, so effort signals rest mainly on the disclosure's editing and toggle claims. |
