Some of this game's Steam store and marketing art was created using AI image-generation tools. Specifically, the store capsule images (header, main, small, and vertical capsules), the library artwork (library capsule and hero image), and the logo background were AI-generated.AI was used only for this promotional store art.

Symbiosis: Criticality uses generative AI in content that ships with the game. Visual assets, audio, and written material (including in-game text and store page copy) were produced with generative AI tools and then selected, edited, and integrated by hand. All game design, balance, and final decisions are mine. Development also used AI coding assistants, working from specifications and balance targets I set and tested. I am a solo developer and I would rather state this plainly up front.
