What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used to create selected pre-generated promotional artwork, wallpaper images, and music used in Aera in the Ink Realm and its associated marketing materials. All AI-assisted content is created before release and is reviewed and selected by the developer before being included in the game or promotional materials. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay, and no live-generated AI systems are included.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers promotional artwork, wallpapers, and music, which are store/marketing or supporting assets rather than core gameplay content. The developer states AI content is pre-generated and reviewed, with no live generation. The developer has only one game, not yet released, so there is no volume-release pattern. Against: Music is a shipped asset type, so AI involvement may extend slightly beyond pure marketing; the game is unreleased, so in-game content cannot be verified. |
