What the developer says
Some 2D artwork in Nine Lives Deep including select UI elements, item icons, and environment backgrounds was created with the help of generative AI image tools during development. All such content is static and fixed at the time the game ships; nothing is generated live during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any AI service while you play.
From the “AI Generated Content Disclosure” on the Steam store page, quoted as written. First seen by us on Oct 28, 2026.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image tools were used for select UI, item icons, and backgrounds, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Content is static and not generated live, and the game appears to be a full roguelike release. Developer has only two games, so no volume-release pattern. Against: Only a subset of 2D art is AI-assisted, suggesting most assets are human-made; no reviews yet but the game just released. |
