What the developer says
Some of the content in Germline was created with the help of generative AI tools. This includes the in-game music soundtrack and some store and marketing artwork. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and selected by a developer. The creatures you see in the game are not made by AI. They are built by the game’s own procedural generation system from each organism’s genome

Creature art is explicitly procedural, not AI, and the developer reviewed all AI-assisted content. Only one game exists, not yet released, so no volume-release pattern. Against: The developer says creatures are built by the game's own procedural generation system and all AI-assisted content was reviewed and selected by a developer, suggesting real development effort. |
