AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI image generation was used for ideation on various designs. What this actually means in practice is that AI images were created and then sent to real artists to serve as reference material in their work. The final illustrations, designs, etc. in-game were created by artists.

To improve productivity, the development of Born in Reverie utilized AI tools for coding/programming support, and AI upscaling algorithms to improve or alter human-created art assets. Born in Reverie contains snippets of AI generated code in it's engine. I am not the world's best programmer and believe it is acceptable to lean on AI tools to help debug and learn more about coding. Born in Reverie DOES NOT live produce anything in-game via AI generation.

As an indie developer, I am unable to supervise the work of all the freelancers I work with and cannot guarantee their work is entirely AI free. If anyone I work with is found to produce content with significant AI usage, I will be removing their content and credits from the game and replacing their content with proper human artistry.

Born in Reverie values human artistry and seeks to create something genuine and authentic for players to experience. Real artists designed characters, maps and environments, illustrations, sprites, etc. Music was produced by composers. The narrative and dialogue was written without AI tools.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Born in Reverie contains mild language and violence, alcohol use, sexual references, and depictions of self-harm.
