What the developer says
SMASH & GRAB uses generative AI for pre-generated content that is reviewed and edited by the team before it ships. Card portraits and their collectible variants, the rival figures and props, the key art, and the store capsules were produced with image and 3D generation tools (Meshy, OpenArt) from our own prompts and references. Voice lines use synthetic voices from ElevenLabs; no real person's voice was cloned. The music beds were generated with ElevenLabs, and the store trailer was assembled from AI-generated clips (Kling via OpenArt). Card names, bios, and other in-game text were drafted with a large language model and edited by the team. Nothing is generated while you play: the game does not create content live.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI generation across several major asset types: art, 3D figures, voice, music, and writing. Nothing is generated live, and the team says it reviews and edits output. The developer has a long Steam history and only one recent release, so volume signals don't indicate mass production. Against: The developer states AI output is reviewed and edited by the team, and the game has a tutorial and structured card-game design, suggesting real development effort despite heavy AI asset use. |
