What the developer says
This game uses generative AI as part of its art and localization pipeline. Specifically: - Character portrait artwork: The hunters' painted bust portraits (shown on the character-select screen, and reused in store page capsule art and the trailer) were generated using a local Stable Diffusion XL model with a custom LoRA, then composited by hand into final scenes. - Localization: UI text translations for French, German, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Polish, and Turkish were produced with AI assistance and reviewed before shipping. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the development team before inclusion. No content is generated live or in response to player input during gameplay — all AI-assisted assets are fixed at build time.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI-generated character portraits and AI-assisted localization, both player-visible, so scope is parts rather than none. Portraits were composited by hand and translations reviewed, and no live generation occurs. The developer has one game, not yet released, with no volume-release signals. Against: Hand compositing of portraits and human review of translations suggest real production effort; the game is unreleased, so review-based effort signals are unavailable. |
