What the developer says
The title screen background was generated with an image model run locally and then hand-edited. The Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German and Simplified Chinese translations and drafts of the store page text were produced with the help of an AI assistant. Everything you see during gameplay (the beetle, the tree, its surfaces and all animation) and the store capsules are made from in-game graphics drawn procedurally in code. Sound effects are CC0 recordings; no AI-generated voice or music is used, and no generative AI runs while you play.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to a title screen image and translation/store-text assistance, all outside core gameplay. Gameplay visuals are procedurally drawn in code and audio is CC0, showing real development effort. Developer has released no games in the past year, so no volume-release signal. Against: The title screen background is a player-visible asset, so AI does reach shipped content, though only a minor piece. |
