The two announcer voices, BroadcASH and BOBcast, are generated with ElevenLabs from scripts we write and edit ourselves. Every line is approved, levelled and listened to by hand before it ships.
Nothing else in the game is AI generated. The card art is emoji placeholder today, and is being replaced with original illustrations commissioned from human artists. The music is composed in-house by our own procedural scripts, and every track has a written provenance log. The rules, the design and the natural history research are ours.
Some marketing copy is drafted with AI assistance as a rough draft and then edited before use.
