Does Detective Modo use AI-generated content?
Yes. The developers disclose AI-generated content on the game's Steam page:
The background art was generated using Midjourney; however, everything else has been hand drawn and coded. As the game develops, the developer is hoping to completely re-do the background art with a professional. Please help him achieve this goal!
