What the developer says
This game used generative AI during development. Some images (including character portraits and store artwork), some music, and some text (including in-game comments and dialogue) were created with AI assistance, then selected and edited by the developer.

That breadth pushes scope to major rather than parts. No live generation and only one release, so no mass-production signal. Against: Developer says AI output was selected and edited, and no AI runs during play; only one game released, so no volume pattern. |
