What the developer says
We are a two-person indie team with over a decade of real-world game development experience. Pat has been making games for 10 years, and Nate was a professional working artist long before generative AI tools existed. We know AI in games is a dealbreaker for some folks, and we struggle with how much to use it ourselves. We want to be completely upfront about how we built this so you have the full picture: - Visuals: We used generative AI alongside our standard software to speed up ideation and automate tedious tasks. Every final in-game element is as handmade as any other pre-LLM digital art. Most of the icons were licensed from a third-party. - Code: We used AI assistants for pair-programming and troubleshooting complex engine logic on a project that two non-engineers couldn't otherwise build alone. No content is generated live in-game at runtime. We believe in total transparency with our players. We built this game to celebrate developers, and we want to be completely open about how we made it. As busy parents navigating the job hunt during development, these tools gave us the leverage to build and ship an ambitious project that we simply couldn't have created otherwise.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped with visual ideation and automating tedious tasks, and AI assistants aided coding, so some AI-assisted content ships. It also says final in-game elements are handmade and no content is generated at runtime, pointing to limited scope. Two-person team with a decade of experience and only one recent release suggests real effort. Against: The disclosure is vague about which specific in-game assets were AI-influenced, and the game is unreleased with no reviews yet. |
