About the game
True survival techniques: you live on what you discover. Everything here is connected - fire and rain, meat and predators, calories and every move you make. Day and night decide what is possible - being in the right place at the right hour is a skill. Your choices, your survival.
AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
AREAZ was built before generative AI. Its code, art, sound and animation are my own work as a solo developer, or licensed from third-party creators. AI is now used for three things: Translation: existing community translations are updated and new languages added with AI assistance. Players told me they would rather have a machine translation than none. Interface icons: newer menu icons are created with AI assistance. Programming: AI tools help modernize the game's code from original BP to C++
