What the developer says
Parts of this game's source code and in-game text were produced with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. The planet itself is not AI-generated. It is built by conventional deterministic algorithms : noise functions, Voronoi tessellation, plate tectonics, erosion and climate simulation (the same family of techniques used in procedural generation for decades. Every world is reproducible from its seed). No AI runs while you play, and the game never connects to an external AI service.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with parts of the source code and in-game text, so some shipped content is AI-influenced. The developer explicitly says world generation uses conventional deterministic algorithms and no AI runs during play. Only one game exists, not yet released, with no volume-release pattern. Against: AI involvement is limited to code and text assistance, with the procedural planet and runtime explicitly non-AI; no signs of mass production. |
