What the developer says
English — artwork (yes, pre-generated): Visual art (scene backgrounds, character art, GUI covers, and visual FX) was drafted with generative image models, then human-reviewed, cropped, and accepted into the shipping game. Store capsules and library art produced the same way are included in this disclosure. Unreviewed generator output is not shipped. English — writing (human, not AI narrative): All narrative, dialogue, in-game text, and store copy are human-written. This game is not an AI-authored story. Planned English localization is human-translated, not model-generated. English — audio / runtime (so reviewers do not assume the rest): Audio is CC0 / public-domain / project-synthesized sound effects. There is no voice acting and no generative AI voice. The game does not call generative models at runtime.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states visual art assets were drafted with generative image models before human review, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Narrative, dialogue, localization, and audio are declared human or public-domain, and no runtime generation occurs. The developer has one game, not yet released, with no volume-release pattern. Against: Art was human-reviewed, cropped, and accepted before shipping, and the developer explicitly excludes unreviewed generator output; writing and audio are human-made. |
