What the developer says
This project is human-led and human-authored. The core concept, research direction, cultural framing, interactive decisions, visual judgement, source selection, and the final content of the work were all determined by me. AI was used as a supporting production tool, mainly for: debugging Unity and C# errors; suggesting code structure for prototype scripts; organising local folders and repository structure; searching for public references and technical resources; and drafting editable documentation outlines that I then reviewed and revised. AI was not used as an autonomous author. It did not decide the research direction, cultural interpretation, aesthetic intention, or final meaning of the work. AI-generated text and code were treated as working material - selected, edited, corrected, rejected, or rewritten. The personal reflection was written by me; no AI-generated text is presented as personal reflective writing.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to development support: debugging, code structure suggestions, file organization, reference searching, and editable doc outlines. No AI-generated art, audio, writing, or voice is described as shipping. One release in 12 months and 4 positive reviews give no sign of volume production. Against: The disclosure is self-reported and cannot be independently verified; AI-assisted code could still shape the final product, though it is not player-facing content. |
