What the developer says
The game's illustrations — key art, terrain and building tiles, locomotive and wagon art, and achievement badges — were generated with an image model (Kwai Kolors) from the developer's prompts and then selected, cropped and cleaned up by hand. The interface icons are from the open-source Lucide set, not AI-generated. The English and German texts were translated from the Simplified Chinese original with the help of an AI language model and reviewed against a hand-written glossary; Traditional Chinese is a script conversion of the original. Nothing is generated while the game runs.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers several visible asset types (illustrations, tiles, vehicle art, badges), so AI scope is parts rather than minor. Hand selection, cropping, cleanup, and glossary-reviewed translation indicate real production effort. Only one release in the last 12 months, so no volume-release signal. Against: Interface icons are open-source Lucide, not AI, and nothing is generated at runtime; the game is unreleased with no review data yet. |
