About AI

AI is used in the making of Idealium.
What it generates, though, is never used as it is.
The question of how to handle AI is the same question Idealium asks.

Design

Everything below forms the foundation of the work, and all of it is drawn by human hands.

*Generated images are sometimes referenced while an idea is taking shape, but nothing is traced. Everything is drawn by human hands.

For the items below, some images generated with Gemini are used as source material, after being reworked by hand.

Generated with Gemini (Nano Banana).
The image has no transparency, and yet it draws in the checkerboard pattern as well.
Pixel art after retouching. The same figure's outline and fill are cleaned up pixel by pixel, with the eyes and mouth drawn in

Text

Claude is sometimes used to generate scenario, dialogue, text, and translation.
Text that goes into the game is checked and reworked by a human before it finally reaches the player.

Music

For some tracks, Suno is used while working out the structure of the song.
The generated audio is not used as it is, and the performance and sound design are done by human hands.

Programming

Claude Code is used as part of the development process.
Generated code is adopted only after a human has checked how it runs and how it is designed.
