What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used during development as part of the early creative and production process, including generating mood boards, visual references, and some base meshes. These materials were used as starting points rather than finished game content. Any AI-assisted assets included in Nine Below were substantially reworked, modified, refined, and polished by hand before being included in the final game. AI was used to support iteration and production, while the final game was designed, built, and finished by the developer. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
