What the developer says

Some of the game's code, its in-game writing, the artwork the game draws, the achievement icons and parts of this store page were made with the help of generative AI tools, then played, reviewed and edited by the developer. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers several major asset types players see: writing, artwork and icons, plus code. Nothing is generated live during play, and the developer says they played, reviewed and edited the output. Only 2 reviews so far, but the studio has just 3 games, not a volume-release pattern. Against: Solo developer with hands-on review and editing of AI output; no live generation; only 3 games total, so no mass-production signal. |
