What the developer says
Pre-generated AI content: most of the 2D pixel art (the cat companion with its outfits and in-between animation frames, fortune-game icons, tarot cards, items and backgrounds) was first generated with AI image tools (PixelLab and an image-generation model), then retouched by our designer, who redraws, recolors and cleans up the pixels by hand. The background music tracks were generated with an AI music model (ACE-Step) and selected and edited by our developer. The fortune logic and game rules were designed by the developer; fonts are used under their own licenses (mostly SIL OFL). AI was used only during development, to help make the art and music. The finished game simply contains those files. While you play, no AI runs inside the game, nothing new is generated, and the game never connects to an AI service or sends your data to one.
