What the developer says
We utilize AI technology to enhance development efficiency and provide a broader experience for our players. Our use of AI is categorized as follows: Art & Visuals: AI tools are used strictly for initial concept generation and as reference material. No AI-generated visual assets are used "as-is" in the final game. Every image is manually refined, repainted, and finalized by our artists to ensure a unique and high-quality aesthetic. Sound & Coding: We utilize AI-assisted tools to optimize backend code performance and assist in sound engineering, allowing us to focus on core gameplay stability and mechanics. In all areas, we are committed to transparency and will continue to update and polish the game's content based on player input and professional review.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI visuals are only concept/reference, with every image repainted by artists, so shipped art appears human-made. AI-assisted coding and sound engineering are supporting work. Only one release in 12 months and few reviews, but no sign of volume production. Against: AI involvement in sound engineering and code could affect shipped content, and the disclosure is developer-authored with no independent verification. |
