AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

Lingrujiang, the developer's wife, played the pipa and arranged every track herself with Suno AI (a paid plan whose commercial-use rights the developer confirmed); a few tracks are traditional melodies, the rest are original. The album cover and store images were generated using Google Flow. No generative AI runs during playback.
