What the developer says
Keine Bildgeneratoren, keine KI-Stimmen, keine KI-Musik. Im laufenden Spiel erzeugt keine KI etwas. Jar of Gnomes ist das Spiel einer einzelnen Person. Idee, Spieldesign, Balance und Testspiele stammen von mir, ebenso jede Entscheidung darüber, was ins Spiel kommt. Claude (Anthropic) habe ich als Werkzeug eingesetzt: für den Programmcode und für die Spiel- und Shoptexte, die ich vorgegeben und geprüft habe, und beim Entwurf der Wichtel. Alle Grafiken, auch die Wichtel, zeichnet das Spiel beim Start per Code aus Vektorformen, und auch die Geräusche werden per Code erzeugt. Die Musik stammt von Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), die Grillen sind eine CC0-Aufnahme.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states Claude was used for code, texts and gnome design drafts, but all visuals and sounds are procedurally generated by code and music is credited to Kevin MacLeod. This is a solo-developed game with clear human design and balancing. No evidence of mass-produced volume. Against: The developer's other game also discloses AI, but that is not evidence about this title; the disclosure is detailed and limits AI to supporting roles. |
