AI Usage Disclosure
I started this journey at 18. From January 2025 to April 2026, every line and every drawing of Nuktedan was made purely by my own hand. I never touched AI. But the reality of indie development is harsh. Financial hardship left me facing a choice: shelve the game, or bring it to you through Early Access. I chose the latter. This came at a cost: I had to use AI support during coding and for certain specific visuals, like the bird's memory drawings. It didn't sit right with me, but it was the decision that kept the project alive. My promise to you is clear: after Early Access, or in the full release, every trace of AI on the visual side will be completely removed. Those drawings will be redrawn from scratch, by my own hand. Even in its current form, Nuktedan represents two years of my life. Thank you for your understanding and patience. We're growing this game together.

Disclosure History
Captured versions of the developer’s statement. This record can miss changes between checks and does not establish when AI use began.
Artificial intelligence was used solely as a support tool for code generation and certain technical challenges during development. All visuals are hand-drawn and everything else is made by a human.
Nuktedan: The Forgotten Emotions was created by a solo developer. During development, artificial intelligence was used as a support tool for coding, some visual work, and certain technical or challenging parts of the process. Most of the in-game visuals are hand-drawn.
AI was used for code and for drawing memory illustrations. The full version won't use AI on the visual side.
