What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used during development to create some visual assets, including animal and enemy sprites, portraits, and map artwork. These assets are pre-generated; the game does not generate content using AI during gameplay. AI-assisted tools were also used to translate the interface and in-game text into additional languages. These translations are prepared during development and stored in the game; no runtime AI translation service is used.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI made several in-game visual asset types, so AI content ships to players. But it's pre-generated art alongside human-made systems, and the developer has only one release, not a volume pattern. Zero reviews shortly after release is a mild concern but not enough for high effort risk. Against: Only one game released, so no mass-production pattern; AI is limited to art assets and translations, not core gameplay or live generation. |
