What the developer says
CrashFest is a one-person game, built in Unity between coffee and complaints from playtesters. It started as a physics experiment about shoving a low-poly car off a ledge and got out of hand once six controllers were plugged in. I’m a software engineer, not an artist. So a good chunk of CrashFest was made together with Claude AI — art direction, shaders, menus, the visual bits I’d never have drawn on my own — and the soundtrack comes out of Suno. The code, the physics and every questionable design decision are mine.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI contributed art direction, shaders, menus and visual assets, plus a Suno-generated soundtrack, covering several major asset types. Code and physics are described as hand-made, and the developer has no rapid release history, so effort risk stays medium rather than high. Against: The developer describes substantial personal work on code, physics and design, and has released no other games in the past year, which argues against mass-produced volume. |
