What the developer says
We used generative AI tools during development to help create pre-rendered assets: part of the visual art (environments, buildings, characters and interface elements), the music, and store page artwork. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited and assembled by us. Generative AI is not used at runtime — the game generates no AI content while you play.
