Ski Lines is a solo-developed indie game created with the help of generative AI tools. AI was used throughout production to support artwork creation, music and sound design, code assistance, prototyping, iteration, and marketing assets.
Every AI-assisted element was curated, edited, and integrated by the developer to fit the game’s minimalist ski-map aesthetic and gameplay vision. The use of AI helped accelerate production while preserving human creative direction, design decisions, quality control, and final authorship.
Hearthfield's world is built in code and from CC0 model packs, and everything you
see in play is made by hand. Our Steam store art, the capsules, the icons and the
logo, was created with the help of AI image tools and then finished by us. We also
use an AI coding assistant while building the game, and AI help when drafting store
text. Our screenshots are always genuine captures from the real game. Nothing in
Hearthfield is generated by AI while you play.
During development, generative AI was used to assist in creating some of the game’s 2D visual assets and icons. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed and curated by the developers, and modified where necessary before being included in the final version. AI was also used to refactor some early code that was not yet well-structured.
This game was developed with the assistance of AI tools. Some visual and audio assets were created using generative AI tools, then reviewed, selected, and refined by the developer. Portions of the game's code were written with the assistance of AI coding tools under the developer's direction and review. Game design, systems, balance, and all final decisions are the developer's own. No AI content is generated live within the game.
Wizard Disaster was made by a solo developer, using generative AI tools as part of the production pipeline.
Art. Character, boss and background artwork, and the source frames the animations are built from, were produced with generative image and video tools. Everything was then cut, keyed, aligned, retimed and composited by hand into the sheets the game actually plays. The generated output is the raw material, not the finished asset. Concept passes were made the same way.
Audio. The music and most of the sound effects were generated with Suno, then trimmed, pitched, levelled and fitted to the length of the action each one accompanies. Not all of the audio is generated: a number of the effects are synthesised procedurally in code from a 1930s orchestra-pit palette, and the wizard's own voice (his cries and shouts) are human recordings.
Code. Generative AI was used as a programming assistant during development, and to build and run the automated test harnesses that measure boss pacing, damage output and medal times. Those harnesses are development-only tooling and are not part of the shipped game.
The game contains no live-generated AI content. Nothing is generated while you play, and the game makes no network or AI service calls at runtime.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create pre-generated visual assets, UI graphics, in-game text, character content, fictional file contents, audio, and localization. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the development team before being included in the game. The game does not use generative AI at runtime or generate content live for players.
Verilight incorporates generative AI as part of its development pipeline for creating draft artwork, music, text, and programming assistance. All AI-generated material is manually reviewed, edited, refined, and integrated by the developer before being included in the final game. Artwork is transformed into the game's pixel-art style, music is manually arranged and adapted for each biome, and code is reviewed and modified before implementation. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Crownsink is a hand-crafted game built the modern way: the developer writes and directs the code with the support of AI tools, while every sprite, sound and note of music springs from the game's own hand-written algorithms.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming and code generation, and to create or refine certain pre-generated visual assets, including promotional artwork and selected in-game UI and art assets. All AI-assisted code and assets were reviewed, tested, and edited by the developer before inclusion. The released game does not generate content or code during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Development is AI-assisted: source code, the procedural asset factories (meshes, MetaSound hero sounds, code-driven UMG) and docs are written with AI tooling under human review in-repo. No external generative-AI image/audio assets are imported; everything ships from the code-authored pipeline.
AI was used to generate code, art prototypes which were then handcrafted in Aseprite, CSS for UIs, and tedious copy stuffed in nooks and crannies to fill out the world.
The creative direction of GAZE IN SHADOWS was developed and controlled entirely by our team, including its 1928 setting, story, characters, case design, gameplay, and film noir-inspired visual style.
Generative AI was used only as a supporting tool for early art exploration, asset refinement, and limited programming assistance. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, extensively revised, and finalized by our developers. AI was not involved in any core creative decisions.
During development, as a solo developer, Claude Code was especially helpful for debugging, development and testing. There is no LLM usage within Frontier Protocol and no external connection is required to play Frontier Protocol.
The developer uses generative artificial intelligence to create some portions of the game including code and artwork. All creative decisions and testing have been performed by the developer.
The core gameplay, rules, progression structure, level objectives, and detailed level designs were created, reviewed, and finalized by the human development team. Generative AI was used only as a development aid for research and reference gathering, code assistance, and the initial creation of visual assets and in-game scene images. All AI-assisted content was manually selected, edited, integrated, and reviewed before being included in the game.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with brainstorming, coding assistance, and drafting certain written materials. All game content, gameplay implementation, testing, review, and final decisions were completed and verified by the developer before release.
This software does NOT use Generative AI to generate images, artwork, audio, or text. All visual elements, templates, and store assets are 100% original, hand-crafted art and photography created directly by the developer.
Machine Learning and AI technologies are strictly limited to technical functionality and development:
- Background Removal Tool: A local, non-generative Machine Learning feature accessed by users to instantly remove image backgrounds and create striking visual compositions.
- Software Development: AI-assisted coding tools (vibe-coding / LLM assistance) were used during the programming process.
No AI-generated content is included in the software or produced during runtime.
Art assets (pre-generated): In-game scene backgrounds, UI icons, and store page promotional images are generated using Doubao as initial drafts. After manual screening, modification, and style unification, they are packaged into the game. All AI-generated art assets have been reviewed manually one by one, confirming that they do not contain any violations such as violence or pornography, and no copyrighted third-party assets have been used as input for generation. The AI tools used all have commercial use licenses.
Code (pre-generated): Some game logic code is generated with AI assistance during the development stage. After manual review, testing, and modification, it is compiled and packaged. The game does not call AI to generate code in real-time during runtime.
During the game's runtime, there is no AI-generated content in real-time. All AI-generated content visible to players are pre-generated static resources.
AI-Generated code has been used to help speed up development, debug code, and optimize core systems. All engine architecture, structural logic, and tool designs remain fully custom-built from scratch. The final compiled software consists entirely of human-written and human-reviewed code to ensure strict stability, performance, and integrity.
AI was utilized to generate some references and provide consultations during the code development process. Additionally, AI assisted in translating and correcting grammatical errors, as English is not my native language.
I wanted to lie and say I didn’t use ai at all, but my conscience wouldn't let me.
This game was developed with the assistance of generative AI tools for certain content, including:
Some visual art assets (images/textures)
Some narrative and story text
Programming assistance

Pre-generated generative AI was used during development to assist with visual artwork, music, sound effects, spoken audio, narrative and dialogue, and portions of the game code. The developer directed, reviewed, selected, edited, arranged, tested, and integrated the final content. No generative AI content is created while the game is running.
Some assets in this game were created using generative AI tools. The theme song and its stem tracks were generated with Suno and edited by the developer. Some 3D models (the pursuer, corpse and flower props) were generated with Meshy. Some in-game images, such as photographs and posters, were created with image-generation AI. All program code was designed and implemented by the developer, with AI coding assistance. The game contains no live AI-generated content.
Operation: Horumus is a "vibe coding" experiment. Most of the game's content — code, game design, pixel art, sound effects, procedural music, narrative writing, and all four language localizations (English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese) — was developed with extensive use of generative AI tools, under the developer's direction. Every creative and technical decision was made by the developer, and all AI-generated output was reviewed and curated before inclusion.
No AI is invoked during gameplay. The game runs entirely offline and makes no calls to external AI services.
This is a parody experiment, and the use of AI is part of the experiment itself. We disclose it here so you can decide whether that approach is interesting to you.
Portions of this game's artwork were created with generative AI tools under human direction, curation, and editing — including aircraft counter sprites, scene illustrations, character portraits, achievement icons, and some store/marketing images. The store trailer's narration is AI-generated voiceover. Some code was developed with AI assistance and human review. The game does not generate any content with AI while running.
Parts of this game's source code and in-game text were produced with the assistance of generative AI tools during development.
The planet itself is not AI-generated. It is built by conventional deterministic algorithms : noise functions, Voronoi tessellation, plate tectonics, erosion and climate simulation (the same family of techniques used in procedural generation for decades. Every world is reproducible from its seed).
No AI runs while you play, and the game never connects to an external AI service.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence in its development.
Some visual assets — including character sprites, unit artwork, and related
game graphics — were created or assisted with generative AI tools and then
integrated into the game. AI was also used during development to assist with
programming and production workflows.
