How AI is used

The game uses generative AI for a fraction of the content, including gore 3d models, sounds (they are really good), and music.

The developer's own words, from Steam.

About Killware: Under Review

Killware: Under Review is an ultra-gory top-down arcade shooter. Survive long enough to meet the time requirement and unlock brutal new stages, starting with just a pistol and your fists. Play it safe, or dare the authorities to unleash more severe compliance tools upon you, if you're brave enough to climb Heat levels.

Features:

  • Super-satisfying gore
  • Random weapon drops (melee and ranged)
  • Experience level progression (Career mode)
  • Killstreaks and Heat Levels with enemy types that ramp up in difficulty
  • Upgradeable powers and random ability powerups

In this dystopian future, the Content Compliance Police (CCP) decide what content you are allowed to see, and what content is disallowed. You posted something that broke the guidelines... and now you've been flagged as a threat to public narrative and compliance tools have been deployed against you. Can you survive?
