We use AI as a technical tool to support our human developers. While all of our 3D game models, environments, and core game art are hand-crafted by our artists, we use AI to assist with 2D rendering and localization.

We also utilize AI-assisted translation pipelines to help localize our massive world into multiple languages for our global community.
