Our development process makes use of generative AI tools for internal tasks such as early concept exploration - both for the game and marketing assets, as well as workflow automation. All final game assets are created by our team without AI-generated content.

AI has been used to generate music

AI was used to troubleshoot coding issues, generate some game model assets, and some UI elements.All code, models, and UI elements were edited and finalized by me before implementation into the game.

The game is designed, written and built by hand: story, puzzles, research, layouts, object states and code are the author's own work. For the 2D artwork (backgrounds, objects, characters) and the sound effects, the author uses generative AI tools as instruments: assets are generated from his own prompts and sketches, then hand-edited, cut into layers and composited before entering the game. No live AI generation.

During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Generative AI was used as an assistive tool for some parts of the following game development tasks:(Background images, item images, coloring of character artwork, sound, code review, optimization, and localization text.)

Game icons generated using AI, including skill icons and equipment item icons.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of selected textures, 3D models, 2D graphics, and written text used in the game and on the Steam store page. All AI-assisted assets and text were manually reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before release. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay and does not generate live content for players.

Generative AI tools may be used during the development and marketing of WBS26 to assist with concept art, promotional images, placeholder visual materials, character portraits, text editing, localization support, and production workflow.Some character portraits or visual assets may be created or assisted by generative AI tools and then reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before being included in the game.The game does not use generative AI to create gameplay content in real time for the player. AI-assisted materials are reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or on the Steam store page.

Generative AI is used in this title for translation (to support multiple languages) and for the initial concepts of the background music.All final assets have undergone a process of editing, refinement, and review by human creators.

AI tools were used to assist with development of some decorative assets, marketing materials, and code generation.

AI tools were used to create some 3D models, the main menu and loading screen backgrounds, some UI elements and store artwork, and to assist with localization.
