What the developer says
AFKTower contains AI-assisted content that was generated during development; no AI runs inside the game. Art: most of the pixel art hero, enemy and boss sprites and their animations, weapon and armor art, skins, combat backgrounds, map scrolls, UI panels, rarity frames and icons was generated with PixelLab (pixellab.ai) from prompts and references, then hand-selected, edited, recolored and assembled by the developer. The AFKTower logo was drawn without AI. Music: the 30 soundtrack tracks were composed by the developer with Suno (paid plan with commercial license). Sound effects are synthesized procedurally by the game's own code, not by AI. Text: the game and store texts were written in Spanish by the developer; the English localization and copy editing were done with the help of an AI language model (Claude, by Anthropic) and reviewed by humans. Store screenshots are unedited captures of the game. Nothing is generated at runtime: the game contains no AI systems.
