Credits & AI usage

Human direction & playtesting

The project creator chose the concept, directed design and scope, and playtested and refined the feel of combat.

AI-assisted development

OpenAI Codex generated the majority of the code, procedural Canvas visuals, synthesized audio, interface text, and automated tests under human direction. OpenAI image generation created the illustrated itch.io cover, painted environments, directional characters, and courtyard props. Journey and Endless share this artwork. Lighting, shadows, effects, stone barriers and combat cues are drawn live.

Fonts & tools

Cormorant Garamond by Christian Thalmann and DM Sans by the DM Sans Project Authors. Both fonts are bundled under the SIL Open Font License: Cormorant license · DM Sans license.

Built with JavaScript, Canvas 2D, and Web Audio. Graphics and audio are produced by code while you play; the game makes no runtime AI requests. Browser checks use Playwright alongside deterministic simulation tests.
