What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the development of Crownways: A Settlement Economy. Generative AI was used primarily to create building graphics and item icons. These assets were subsequently selected, edited, and prepared for integration into the game. AI tools were also used to assist with writing and translating in-game text, descriptions, and help content. The game's characters are based on a CC0-licensed base model and were customized and animated in Blender. No generative AI content is created during gameplay, and Crownways does not require a connection to external AI services.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for building graphics, item icons, and writing/translation, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Characters were customized and animated manually, and no AI runs during gameplay. The developer has only one unreleased game, so no volume-release pattern exists. Against: Hand-editing of AI assets and manual Blender character work suggest real development effort; the game is not yet released, so review data is unavailable. |
