What the developer says
The development team used an AI-assisted coding environment (Rosebud AI) during the pre-production phase strictly to write, optimize, and debug the standard JavaScript and Three.js source code blocks. Please note that ALL graphic assets, low-poly 3D models, textures, animations, and sound files were entirely pre-rendered and static before compilation. There is absolute zero generative AI technology running inside the game application itself, and the software does not generate any content in real-time or connect to external AI servers during user gameplay.
