What the developer says
Studs Up! Win Ugly ships some pre-generated AI content. All of it was reviewed and edited by hand before it went into the game: - Player portraits and the end-of-season win/loss backdrops: image generation, converted down to the game's limited-palette pixel formats. - The match music loop and the match sound effects: audio generation, edited and loudness-normalised. - The announcer voice in the trailer: voice generation. No AI runs while you play. The game is fully offline and generates nothing at runtime.

It states all were reviewed and edited by hand, and no AI runs at runtime. The developer has no recent releases, so there is no volume signal. Against: Hand editing and palette conversion suggest real production work; the game is unreleased with no review data. |
