What the developer says
By My Side is developed by a small independent studio, and we use generative AI as part of our content pipeline: - 3D models — many in-game models (crops, props, buildings, devices and characters) are generated with Meshy AI, then adjusted, scaled and integrated by hand. - Music & sound — parts of the soundtrack and sound effects are created with AI audio tools and curated by us. - Localization — translations are drafted with AI assistance and reviewed before release. All AI-generated content is reviewed, edited and curated by the developer before it ships. No generative AI runs live during gameplay — everything is pre-generated and fixed.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states many in-game models (crops, props, buildings, devices, characters) are AI-generated, plus parts of audio and localization. That covers several major asset types, so scope is major. The developer has 5 releases in 12 months and all 7 games disclose AI, but review count and effort signals don't clearly meet the high-risk bar. Against: The developer says all AI content is reviewed, edited and curated by hand, and no AI runs live during gameplay; 11 reviews at 63% positive suggests some player engagement rather than pure volume. |
