What the developer says
Some of the content shipping with this game was created using generative AI: • Images: the title/loading screen, the store graphics (capsules) and the five faction portraits were generated with an image AI. • Audio: the title music, intro music, sector music tracks and the sound effects were created with AI tools. • Text: the store description was drafted with AI assistance. All of this content was selected, reviewed and integrated by hand. Not AI-generated: the 3D world, the ships, stations and effects — those are built procedurally and in Blender. The source code was developed with AI assistance; we mention this for completeness, even though development tools are exempt from disclosure.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI images (title/loading screens, capsules, five portraits) and AI audio (title, intro, sector music, all sound effects), covering several major asset types. Text drafting is minor. The 3D world, ships, stations and effects are stated as procedural and Blender-made, showing real development effort. Against: Core 3D assets and effects are hand-built, and the developer says all AI content was reviewed and integrated by hand; only one game, not yet released, so no volume pattern. |
