What the developer says
Pre-generated AI content: In-game text and the store page description were drafted with AI assistance and reviewed and edited by the developer. The Traditional Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German and French localizations are AI translations checked by the developer for terminology and layout; they have not been proofread by native speakers. The chef and customer portraits, and the in-game face icons scaled down from them, were drawn with generative image AI (most based on pixel-art faces drawn by the developer, some from written descriptions in the style of the existing portraits), then selected and adjusted by the developer. The portraits also appear in the store capsules and screenshots. All other pixel art (ingredients, backgrounds, UI), the music and the sound effects are produced at runtime by drawing and synthesis scripts written with AI assistance; no image- or audio-generation models are used. No AI content is generated during gameplay.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states portraits and face icons were made with generative image AI, and text and localizations used AI assistance. Most other art, music, and sound come from developer-written scripts, and the developer reviewed and adjusted AI output. Only one game exists, with no volume-release pattern. Against: The developer drew base pixel-art faces, edited AI text, and checked translations; runtime content uses scripts rather than generative models, suggesting real development effort. |
