What the developer says
The audio in the game is not produced by machine learning models. The game images are divided into two categories: ① The vast majority are generated programmatically and not by machine learning models; ② The character illustrations are generated by machine learning and then selected, cropped, and post-processed by humans. The game text (environmental narration, entry descriptions, achievement descriptions) is drafted by AI with assistance and then revised by humans before being included; developers conduct fact and expression reviews of all game images and text before release. The game does not have an AI system for real-time generation of content, and player input will not be used for training or content generation.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states character illustrations come from machine learning with human selection and post-processing, and text is AI-drafted then revised. Audio and most images are programmatic, not machine learning. The developer has only one recent release and no review history, so volume signals are absent. Against: Developer's three games all disclose AI, but only one shipped in the last 12 months, so no high-volume pattern is established; zero reviews is too early to judge. |
