What the developer says
Some in-game textures (the factory floor and machine housings) and the store and marketing artwork were created with generative AI tools. In-game text and the store page translations were prepared with the help of AI tools. Music and sound effects are licensed, not AI-generated. Nothing is generated by AI while you play: every number and machine result is calculated locally by the game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI made some in-game textures plus store art and text/translations, so AI touches shipped assets but not most of the game. Music and sound are licensed and gameplay is computed locally, showing human-built systems. Developer releases 3 games in 12 months, below the 12+ threshold for high effort risk. Against: Game is unreleased with no reviews, so production effort and final asset mix can't be fully judged; 4 of 5 studio games disclose AI. |
