Credits

We created most assets manually (no LLMs involved) during the jam. Only exceptions are:
- We used existing fonts
- Most icons come from SerenityOS
- Most SFX come from the internet (background music is made by us)

LLM usage transparency

Dialogs and scenario text were exclusively written by hand.

The in-game's browser content is fully written by hand in the postjam version.
We had some AI-generated filler entries in the initial version due to lack of time; it was maybe around 30% of the contents but it read quite poorly; you should be able to recognize those somewhat easily.

The code was also written largely manually, though there was some light LLM assistance here and there. We generally stuck to using LLMs as a reviewer and as a debugging tool.

We also used LLMs for data work, especially for proofreading and enlarging the sets of links accepted as answers to queries. It is used to typically give $ for the links that we did not have in mind but that still matched the query.

TLDR table:

Area	LLM usage		Details
Graphics	None	✅
Audio (Music, SFX)	None	✅
Dialogs	None	✅
Browser content - Jam	Partial	⚠	~30% LLM generated filler data
Browser content - Postjam	None	✅
Code	Light	✅	Used for review and debugging
Data	Moderate	⚠	Proofreading, expanding accepted answers
