What the developer says
Some of the artwork in ChessTan was created with the help of generative AI tools. This includes in-game graphics (unit and board art) and the store page / marketing images. All AI-generated art was reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before use. No AI-generated content is produced live during gameplay. Music is licensed royalty-free stock (not AI-generated), and AI coding assistants were used only for development, not to generate player-facing content

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped create in-game graphics and marketing images, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Music is licensed stock and coding assistants were development-only, so AI does not cover most asset types. One release in 12 months and a small but present review count point to limited, not mass-produced, output. Against: The developer says all AI art was reviewed, edited, and curated, and no AI content is generated live during play, which suggests human oversight rather than automated output. |
