What the developer says
I used generative AI tools (specifically Fooocus) to help paint and generate my static 2D game backgrounds and concept/icon art. I also utilized AI-collaboration platforms to assist with audio synthesis composition and programming codebase layouts. All generated assets were fully curated, conceptualized, and processed under my own direct creative control and creative direction before building.

This points to AI-generated content being a large part of what ships. The developer has only two games, so volume-release signals are absent. Against: The developer says all assets were curated and processed under direct creative control, and only one game shipped in the last 12 months, which argues against mass production. |
