What the developer says
The Rend is made by a small indie team, with core character art, animation, and design created by human artists we've worked with and credited. We use generative AI tools in a supporting role for environment art direction and variation, additional views and variations of existing character designs, and some temporary UI artwork, such as achievement badges that haven't received their final art yet. No content is generated by AI during gameplay. All AI-assisted content is directed, reviewed, and edited by our team. As development continues, we'll keep working with artists and developers to improve the game's art and overall experience.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assists with environment art, character variations, and placeholder UI badges, while core character art and animation are human-made. The developer has released no games in the past year and this title is unreleased, so no volume-release pattern exists. AI content is directed and reviewed, indicating real production effort. Against: Some AI-assisted UI art is temporary placeholder content, which may be replaced before release, potentially reducing the final AI scope. |
