What the developer says
We used Gemini AI during the development process to assist in generating some ambient background music tracks. Additionally, AI tools were used for minor assistance in refining some visual components and lighting enhancements for marketing assets. All components have been carefully curated, hand-edited, and integrated by the developer to comply with Steam's content policies.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states Gemini AI generated some ambient background music, an in-game asset, so scope is parts. Visual AI use is limited to marketing assets, which is minor. The developer has one unreleased game and no volume-release pattern, so effort risk is low. Against: The developer says all components were curated and hand-edited, and the game is not yet released, so the final AI share is uncertain. |
