What the developer says
The branching narrative in FOREST QUEST '88 was generated during development using a locally-run AI language model (an offline Dolphin/LLaMA-family model via Ollama). All AI-generated text was produced ahead of time, then reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being baked into the finished game as fixed, hand-checked content. The shipped game contains no live AI generation — it plays back a static, pre-authored story. No player data is sent to any AI service; the game runs fully offline.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated the branching narrative, a major writing component, but it was reviewed and curated into static content. No live generation ships. The developer's release pace (3 games in 12 months) is not high-volume, and only 2 of 5 games disclose AI. Against: The developer edited and hand-checked all AI text, and the game has only 1 review shortly after release, so quality signals are limited. |
