What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used during development to create or assist in the creation of portions of the game's pre-generated 2D artwork, codework, and marketing assets. These artworks are created primarily using a local model, which has been designed and diluted toward the creators own artstyle. • All characters/locations/image assets are first sketched or designed by hand. • No sound effects/music/character voices are currently generated with AI. • Absolutely NO writing/story has, or ever will be, generated with AI.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped create portions of 2D artwork and codework, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. It also says all characters and locations were hand-designed first, and no writing, music, or voice uses AI. The developer has one unreleased game, so there is no volume-release pattern. Against: Hand sketching and a custom local model suggest deliberate art direction; no writing, audio, or voice is AI-generated. |
