How AI is used
Parts of the game were created with the help of AI tools during development and then reviewed, edited and assembled by hand. The pixel art (characters, monsters, bosses, environment, icons and interface) was generated with PixelLab, then cleaned up, recolored and composed by the developer. Narrator and guardian voices, sound effects and music were generated with ElevenLabs, and the trailer music with Fenaky; all of it was trimmed, mixed and leveled for the game. The code and the store texts were written with the help of AI assistants and reviewed by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI while it runs.
