What the developer says
All pixel artwork is hand-made by a human artist (Dani Maccari, licensed and credited). Sound effects are procedurally synthesized from hand-authored code and Suno AI. AI tools were used during development as a programming assistant and to help draft and edit some in-game and store text, all of which was human-directed, reviewed, and curated. No generative AI runs at runtime, and no AI-generated imagery ships with the game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI contributed to sound effects and to drafting/editing text, so some shipped content is AI-involved. Art is credited to a human artist and no AI imagery ships. One release in 12 months with no volume pattern, but zero reviews a month after launch. Against: AI use is limited to supporting roles, with human review and no runtime generation; the developer has only one release, so no mass-production signal. |
