Some 3D models were generated with AI tools (Meshy) from our own concept sheets, then cleaned up, rigged and textured in our own pipeline. Some music, sound effects and announcer lines were generated with AI audio tools, and some cinematic shots were generated with AI video tools from in-game captures and our own art. Some unit and Pip voice lines use text-to-speech voices. Some concept sheets, emblems and store capsule and key art were drafted with AI image tools. All of it was directed, selected and edited by the developer. Pip, the in-game advisor, can also answer your questions about the game with a small open-weight language model (Qwen3-1.7B, Apache-2.0) that runs locally on your PC. It runs only from the menus, never during a match, and uses no network connection. It answers only from the game's own Codex, rules and guide entries and declines anything outside the game. It writes text only.
