What the developer says
AI Disclosure WinterCore is a solo-developed game created over four years. Generative AI was used during development to create a small number of visual assets and selected promotional artwork. All AI-generated assets were subsequently edited, refined, and adapted by the developer to fit WinterCore’s art direction and overall visual style. The game’s core design, programming, story, gameplay, and final implementation were created by the developer. The project also includes licensed assets and creative works from independent artists and creators, who are credited accordingly.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for a small number of visual assets and selected promotional art, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Core design, programming, story and gameplay are developer-made, with licensed and credited artist work. Solo development over four years and no rapid release pattern suggest real effort. Against: The game is unreleased, so the actual proportion of AI assets in the shipped build can't be verified; the disclosure is developer-authored. |
