What the developer says
Some of the pre-rendered 2D art shipped with the game (era intermission illustrations, panel icons, campaign cover images and the Economic Association hall with economist portraits) was produced with generative image tools (fal.ai, Krea) from prompts authored by the developer, then post-processed by hand and by scripts in tools/. No generative AI is used at runtime. The game's simulation code, UI, isometric city renderer, world map (built from Natural Earth data) and all text, including the three interface languages, are authored by the developer.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningDisclosure states generative image tools produced several 2D art assets players see, so scope is parts, not none. Simulation code, UI, renderer, map and all text are developer-authored, showing real production effort. Two releases in 12 months is below the volume threshold for high effort risk. Against: AI art covers multiple asset types (illustrations, icons, covers, portraits), and 3 of 3 studio games disclose AI, though volume is low and reviews are solid. |
