What the developer says
Generative AI was used during development to assist with code, artwork, in-game text such as death messages, and store page text. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the developer. No AI runs during gameplay - the game is fully offline and generates no content at runtime.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped with artwork and in-game text, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Code and store text are supporting uses. The developer released only one game in the last 12 months, so there is no volume-release pattern. Against: AI content was reviewed and edited by the developer, and no AI runs during gameplay; the game is not yet released, so effort signals are limited. |
