What the developer says
本作では、開発プロセスの効率化およびアートワークの制作補助として、画像生成AIを使用しています。 具体的には、ゲーム内に登場するイベント画像（背景やアイテム）、ゲームオーバー/クリア時のロード画面のイラスト、およびUI背景などの2Dアセットの一部において、AIによってプリレンダリング（事前生成）された画像を加工して使用しています。ゲームプレイ中にAIがリアルタイムでライブ生成するコンテンツはありません。また、生成された画像はすべてレトログラフィックに加工して使用しており、著作権を侵害する素材は含まれていません。

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI-generated images are used for event art, load screens, and UI backgrounds, so some shipped assets are AI-made. Gameplay content is not live-generated, and the developer has only one release, so there is no sign of mass-produced volume. No reviews yet, but the game is only about a month old. Against: The disclosure says AI was used only as production assistance, with all images processed into a retro style; the rest of the game appears human-made. |
