Yes, all AI-free, all bespoke, all made by me except where indicated, which would be my friend making 2D pix for my loading screens, because I was busy.
On top of that, it's one of 4 games I was working at the same time.
Be sure to check out VectaGuard, too.

VectaGuard looks great...
If you make some sort of a FPS test loop on it- like old school Unreal castle fly by overlay- I'll buy the game- do the work- give results on Atari VCS with stock ram, more ram, more ram but lower latency timing, stock pad, thermal paste, etc...
