What the developer says
Most of the 3D models appearing in this game, including the main protagonist and various objects, were generated and modeled using generative AI tools. While some of the programming code was also generated with the assistance of generative AI (such as Gemini), all tasks—including implementation, fine-tuning gameplay behaviors, overall game design, and adjustments—were carried out manually by a solo human developer.
