AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

As a small indie team developing Pine Creek without external funding and on an extremely limited budget, we have primarily used generative AI tools to assist with the localization of the game and its Steam store page into multiple languages. In a few cases, we have also used AI-powered generative fill tools to modify or extend existing textures. These tools have helped us overcome resource limitations during development. The game's core gameplay, story, design, and overall creative direction are developed entirely by our team.
