What the developer says
Only 2D background artwork and the sound effects, the author uses generative AI tools as instruments: assets are generated from his own prompts and sketches, then hand-edited, cut into layers and composited before entering the game. No live AI generation.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for 2D backgrounds and sound effects, both visible and audible in-game, so scope is parts. The developer describes hand-editing, layering and compositing, indicating real production effort. Only one game exists and it is unreleased, so no volume-release signal. Against: Game is not yet released, so shipped content can't be verified; the studio has only one title, giving little track record either way. |
