How AI is used
Kukata: Word of Ghosts utilizes generative AI as a specialized tool to enhance the development process. AI assisted our team with multi-language localization, and the optimization of game code. It was also used to help draft and polish our Steam store presence. However, all core pillars of the experience including the original story, gameplay mechanics, and all visual art are the handcrafted work of our development team.
