What the developer says
Generative AI tools were used to help create some background music and sound effects, the logo, icons, Steam achievement icons and store artwork, and to assist with translating in-game text and drafting store descriptions. The developer reviews and selects the resulting assets and text, and edits them as needed. The bonsai and cities are procedurally generated by the game's own code. The game does not generate content using AI or connect to external AI services during gameplay.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningDisclosure covers several asset types players see and hear, so AI scope is parts rather than minor. Procedural generation is the game's own code, not AI, and the developer reviews and edits AI outputs. No volume-release signals: zero games in the last 12 months and not yet released. Against: AI touches audio, icons, logo, store art and translation, which is broader than typical minor use; the game is unreleased, so in-game AI content can't be verified. |
