What the developer says
Generative artificial intelligence was used during the process of creating the game's graphical elements. It was used to generate concepts and 2D graphics, which were then further manually edited and adapted to the needs of the project. The modified graphics were used as backgrounds in the game's main menu.

Against: The game is unreleased, so the full scope of AI content in the final build cannot be confirmed. |
