What the developer says
Project Overboard was made with the help of Claude, an AI model by Anthropic, used as a coding and writing assistant. It wrote much of the game's code, including the code that draws the pixel art and synthesises the sound effects, and helped write the guests' lines, the in-game text and this store page. I designed the game, directed all of it, and reviewed, tested and edited everything that went in. The game doesn't use AI while you play. Nothing is generated live, and no AI model runs in the game.
