What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used during the development of The Five Monks as follows: - Illustrations, icons, and in-game object art: initial images were generated with AI tools, then revised and finalized by hand by the development team. These edited assets ship with the game. - Creature and character concepts: AI outputs were used as visual reference only. The final in-game art was recreated from scratch by the development team to fit the game's art direction. - Store page text: portions were drafted with AI assistance and then edited by the team. The game's music was composed by the development team without generative AI.

Character concepts were only reference and final art was recreated by hand, and music was made without AI. The developer has one game, not yet released, with no volume-release pattern. Against: Final in-game character art was recreated from scratch by hand, and music was composed without generative AI, suggesting substantial human production. |
