Disclaimer: This is involved extensive AI usage for code. Some of that includes code that generates sound or 3D geometry. Images in game are either generated procedurally or public domain. AI use is limited to Claude Opus 5.5 and a small non-generative model used to identify faces in public domain early 20th century photos. No image generation models were used. A full list of credits is available here, as well as in-game.
This application has online features that may disappear if they get too expensive to run. They're designed to be cheap, but I can't commit to running them forever. Server software is available in the github repo.
