What the developer says
Some art and audio in this game were created with generative AI tools and then edited by hand: ability and application icons and the logo (OpenAI image generation), a number of 3D props (Tripo3D), and some sound effects (ElevenLabs). All of it was generated during development and reviewed by the developer before shipping. Nothing is generated live while you play

These are supporting assets; the game itself appears otherwise developed. Only one release in 12 months, so no volume-release pattern. Against: No reviews yet and a very recent release, so effort signals are limited; the AI covers several asset types, though not core gameplay. |
