What the developer says
The key art, store capsules and library artwork were created with an AI image generator and reviewed by the developer. In-game pixel art sprites, the bitmap font, sound effects and music are produced by original project code written with AI coding assistance. Store and in-game text were drafted with AI assistance and edited by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI while running and requires no AI service.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningDisclosure covers store/marketing art plus in-game sprites, font, sound, music and text, so some shipped assets involve AI. The developer says sprites and audio come from original project code and text was edited, indicating real development work. No live AI generation and no volume-release pattern; game is unreleased with no reviews. Against: In-game assets are described as produced by original project code with AI only as coding assistance, and text was developer-edited, which limits how much AI content actually ships. |
