What the developer says
Hearthfield's world is built in code and from CC0 model packs, and everything you see in play is made by hand. Our Steam store art, the capsules, the icons and the logo, was created with the help of AI image tools and then finished by us. We also use an AI coding assistant while building the game, and AI help when drafting store text. Our screenshots are always genuine captures from the real game. Nothing in Hearthfield is generated by AI while you play.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to store/marketing assets, icons, logo, coding assistance and store text drafting. It explicitly says nothing in play is AI-generated and screenshots are real captures. Developer has only one recent release, so no volume-release pattern. Against: AI use in coding assistance and store text is disclosed, and the developer's other game also discloses AI, though that alone doesn't indicate in-game AI content. |
