Methodox uses AI-assisted tools during both development and gameplay, with human oversight at every stage.

During production, AI tools were used to help generate certain visual assets and explore design concepts. All assets were reviewed, curated, and integrated by human designers. Final artistic direction and implementation were handled by the development team. Certain world building materials and character backgrounds were generated with AI first then edited by designers.

In gameplay, characters use AI-driven systems to simulate conversation. These systems include multiple safety measures and have been thoroughly tested to help ensure generated content remains appropriate. If you encounter an issue, please report it to our support team at contact@methodox.io so we can review and address it.

The team will continue refining and improving gameplay systems and visual assets over time.

Thank you for your support!
