What the developer says
AI was used as an interface and scripting assistant for industry standard tools such as Reaper, Godot, Blender, Aseprite, and Deepl for enhancing the quality and consistency of the game content and building systems I otherwise would not have the capacity to design and implement as solo developer. Where possible, artists are and will continue to be supported via use of their paid or free assets. For this game, the most money spent was on Quaternius source level packages. Notable exception to this is the UI, which was generated using RetroDiffusion with a python pipeline built in house for consistent design around UI elements using color normalization and targeting from a theme palette, which is then imported and tweaked in Godot.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped with scripting and interface work in standard tools, and the UI was AI-generated via RetroDiffusion. Most other content appears to come from purchased artist assets, so AI covers only some shipped elements. The solo developer shows real development effort with custom pipelines and asset purchases. Against: The UI is a visible, player-facing element generated by AI, which could push scope higher than minor; the game is unreleased with no reviews yet. |
