What the developer says
This game uses generative AI during development in the following areas: * Localization: AI tools were used to assist with translating some in-game text. All translations are reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game. * Art Assets: AI tools were used to assist in creating some visual assets. All generated materials are selected, edited, and finalized by the developer. * Programming: AI tools were used to assist with parts of the game's code development. * Store Page: AI tools were used to assist in creating certain store page materials. The game does not include any live-generated AI content. All AI-assisted content is generated during development, reviewed by a human, and finalized before being included in the shipped build.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with some visual assets and localization, both player-visible, so scope is parts rather than none. Human selection and editing plus a small release cadence suggest real development effort. No reviews yet, but the studio has only two recent releases, so volume signals are weak. Against: No reviews three months after release could indicate low engagement, but the developer's release rate is not high enough to support a mass-produced judgment. |
