We believe in human creativity. In the world of AI, humans are what bring us joy, whimsy, culture, and astonishment. There is not, and will not be, any AI usage for creative, strategic, or thoughtful work in Space Agency.
All art is human illustrated. All text in the game manual, the cards, the names, and the mechanics are all created from human brains.
AI is used for coding and for balancing. Balancing is mostly just math, and it's mostly just a coding math problem at that. I'm comfortable letting AI help with that task. I'm also comfortable (even as a software engineer by trade) letting AI help build this marketing site, or tools like the 3D rendering engine used to stage the game for photos.
I also believe in taking a stance and believing in something, along with the idea that nuance is important to the human experience. I hope that this policy reflects that belief.
