What the developer says
I use generative AI as a tool during development: • Some 3D models (characters, creatures and props) were created with AI generation tools, then edited, rigged and animated by hand for use in the game. • Some sound effects were generated with AI audio tools, then edited and mixed by hand. • Some store page and marketing artwork was created with AI image generation. Everything produced this way is reviewed and reworked by me before it ships. The game generates no content while you play and connects to no AI service at runtime.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some in-game 3D models and sound effects, plus marketing art, so AI touches several asset types but not most of the game. The developer describes hand editing, rigging, animation, and mixing, indicating real production effort. No runtime AI generation and no volume-release pattern. Against: AI involvement spans models, audio, and marketing art, which is broader than minor; the game is unreleased so shipped content can't be verified. |
