What the developer says
Clade is made by a small independent developer. During development, AI tools were used to help write some of the game's code, and to create some placeholder 3D models and text. All placeholder art is being replaced with handmade work, and this note will be updated as that happens. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play. The computer controlled empires are traditional game AI written for Clade, not generative AI.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure covers code assistance and temporary placeholder assets, not shipped final art. The developer states placeholders are being replaced and no AI runs during play. Only one game, unreleased, with no volume-release pattern. Against: Placeholder AI assets may still ship if replacement isn't finished; the game is unreleased so final content is unverified. |
