The developers of the gacha action game Neverness to Everness from Hotta Studio commented on the criticism related to the use of artificial intelligence tools in the game's creation. The reason for the discussions was user posts on social networks, suspecting the presence of AI content in some project materials.
Hotta emphasized that the characters, plot, and game world are the result of the work of real artists, writers, and designers.
At the same time, the studio still admitted that individual AI tools were indeed used, but only for "a small number of background and environmental assets". The developers specifically noted that the technologies were not used in the creation of key game elements.
