Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation and enhancement of selected promotional artwork and Store Page imagery. All generated materials were reviewed, edited, and curated by the development team. The game itself does not use generative AI to create content dynamically during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to draft this game's localized interface text (English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese); every line was reviewed and edited by the developer before shipping. The Han character data, spell descriptions and store artwork are not AI-generated: the characters come from Unicode IDS and public dictionary data, the spell descriptions are assembled by a deterministic algorithm from hand-written word pools, and the store images and trailer are drawn programmatically from real in-game captures. No AI runs during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI service.
Generative AI tools were used during the early production stage to create preliminary visual assets and reference materials. All AI-assisted assets included in the final game were manually edited, refined, and reviewed by our designers.
