What the developer says
Pre-generated content only; nothing is generated while playing. The painted room backgrounds, the doorway arches, character and creature sprites and the key art (title picture, also the basis of the store capsules) were created with a generative image model (OpenAI gpt-image-2) and then hand-composed, cropped, colour-matched and fitted with collision by the developer. Code, level design and texts were written with AI assistance (Anthropic Claude) under human direction and testing; music is synthesised by the game's own code (no AI audio). — DE: Ausschliesslich vorgenerierte Inhalte, nichts wird während des Spielens erzeugt. Die gemalten Raumhintergründe, Torbögen, Figuren- und Kreaturen-Sprites sowie die Schlüsselgrafik (Titelbild, Grundlage der Shop-Kapseln) wurden mit einem generativen Bildmodell (OpenAI gpt-image-2) erzeugt und anschliessend vom Entwickler von Hand komponiert, beschnitten, farblich abgestimmt und mit Kollision belegt. Code, Leveldesign und Texte sind mit KI-Unterstützung (Anthropic Claude) unter menschlicher Leitung und Prüfung entstanden; die Musik wird vom Spielcode selbst synthetisiert (kein KI-Audio).

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states most visible art types (backgrounds, sprites, key art) came from a generative image model, so AI covers several major asset types. Code, level design and texts also had AI assistance under human direction. Hand composition, collision work and code-synthesised music show real production effort, and the studio has only one game, so volume signals are absent. Against: Assets were hand-composed, cropped and colour-matched, music is code-synthesised without AI audio, and the developer has released no other games, arguing against mass-produced volume. |
