Production signals

Facts about who made the game and how players received it. They don't depend on AI, and they help tell a carefully made game that used some AI apart from mass-produced ones.

What the developer says

This game includes content created with the help of AI during development. Images (34): backgrounds, the logo and in-game objects were created using OpenAI's image generation (gpt-image), then edited by the developer. 34 of the 66 sprites in the shipping build originate this way. UI elements and one texture (13) and sound effects (21): these were designed by AI (Claude) and implemented as the developer's own program code. They are not the output of an image or audio generation model; the shapes and waveforms are produced by deterministic processing. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime. Music is licensed from a purchased royalty-free library and involves no AI. Stage design is the developer's own work.

Reasoning

Disclosure states 34 of 66 shipping sprites came from OpenAI image generation, edited by the developer, so some in-game assets are AI-made. UI and sound effects are deterministic code, not generative output, and no runtime AI is used. Developer has no recent release history suggesting volume production.

Against: Half the sprites are AI-originated, but the developer edited them and made stage design, music licensing and code themselves, pointing to real effort.
