What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with pre-generated character portraits, fantasy illustrations, backgrounds, quest and result artwork, product artwork, selected store and marketing imagery, narrative drafting, and development assistance. All generated material was reviewed, edited, curated, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during play and does not send player prompts or gameplay data to a generative AI service.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI use across several major asset types: character portraits, illustrations, backgrounds, quest/result and product artwork, and narrative drafting. That covers most visual content and writing, so AI is a large part of what ships. The developer states all material was reviewed and curated, and no AI runs during play, which points to real integration effort rather than live generation. Against: Developer has only one game and no rapid release cadence, and claims human review and editing of all generated material, which argues against mass-produced volume. |
