What the developer says
Some of the content in this game was created with generative AI tools. · The background music tracks were generated with an AI music tool, then edited and looped to fit the game. · 2D sprites (props, enemies, bosses, UI) started as generative AI image drafts and went through background removal, resizing and color correction before shipping. · Interface translations — the source language is Korean; the other languages were machine-translated with AI and only some have had a human pass. If you spot an awkward line, tell us and we will fix it. Sound effects are not AI-generated. They are synthesized in real time by the game's code. No AI runs while you play. Every piece of content ships as a fixed file — the game does not generate anything during play and does not contact any AI service.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-heavy · AI scope: major · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure says AI generated the music and drafted the sprites, covering several major asset types. Editing, looping and color correction show some human finishing work, and sound effects are code-synthesized. No AI runs during play, so it is not core. Two games in 12 months is not volume-level, but zero reviews a month after release is a weak signal. Against: Assets were edited and corrected by hand, sound effects are not AI, and the studio has only two releases, so this is not high-volume output. |
