What the developer says
This game uses AI-generated content. The character artwork was pre-generated locally with an image model (Animagine XL 3.1) and manually curated by the developer. During gameplay, the mascot's chat replies (text only) are generated in real time by a bundled local language model (Google Gemma 3 via the Ollama runtime) running entirely on your PC. No internet connection is used and no conversation data leaves your device.
