The AI coworkers in this game are voiced by a machine (TTS), and their dialogue was really written by AI together with self portraits, on purpose and under human review. The slop is diegetic. The code was written with AI agents and reviewed by the last human in that loop, the developer. That is also the plot. No AI runs at runtime. Everything was baked and reviewed before shipping.
Beneath Solmere includes pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI tools. This includes six music tracks created with Google Gemini/Lyria, AI-assisted localization for nine non-English languages, and AI-generated artwork used in Steam Store marketing materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
The music in this game was created using generative AI
Some of the text on this store page was written with AI assistance.
Nothing is generated by AI while you play. The game runs entirely offline and makes no calls to any AI service at any time.
Generative AI is used to assist with the translation and localization of in-game text and Steam store page content from the original Japanese into other supported languages.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating a limited number of 2D inventory icons and portions of written text and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Some pre-rendered assets were created with the help of generative AI during development: 2D line-art images (mascot sprites, badges, store artwork), portions of the game code, and drafts of store/in-game text (human-reviewed). Nothing is generated at runtime, and the game never connects to any AI service while you play. Sound effects are procedurally synthesized without AI.
Generative AI was used during development to generate suspect mugshot photos, dossier case texts, and to assist with language localization. All generated assets are static and pre-packaged into the game.
We used Claude (Anthropic) during development for the following:
- Writing the store page description
- Assisting with the translation of in-game text
- Generating some simple in-game objects
Generative AI tools were used to assist with programming and translation/localization during development. All artwork and original dialogue were created by the developer. AI-assisted translations were reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
SIDE OUT was built with AI-assisted development tools. No artwork, audio, text or other content in the game is generated by AI. All visuals are drawn procedurally in code, and all store text is written by hand.
Artwork used on the Steam store page was created with the assistance of generative AI and was subsequently manually edited, refined, and improved. AI tools were also used to assist with the localization of the Steam store page.
Close Enough was built with generative AI. The code, the in-game text, the level layouts and all seven translations were written by an AI assistant (Claude) working to the developer's direction, and most of what you see on screen — the objects, the whole interface — is drawn by that code rather than loaded from image files.
The doodle recognition inside the game is not generative. It is a small image classifier bundled with the game, trained on Google's Quick, Draw! dataset of human-drawn doodles. It runs entirely on your own computer, sorts each drawing into one of 100 pre-defined objects and creates nothing. Your drawings are never uploaded, and the release build contains no code that could upload them.
The sprites, tiles, music, sound effects and font are licensed assets made by people, not by AI. Every one of them is credited inside the game under Esc → Credits.
This game uses generative AI as a production tool. Character, enemy, boss, UI, and background art were created with image-generation models and then assembled, keyed, and edited by the team. Background music and in-game voice and narration (including Classical Latin lines in Purgatory) were also generated with AI and curated for the game.
Gameplay, design, writing, and programming are human-authored. The game does not generate new text, images, or audio while you play. Some store and marketing images were produced with the same tools.
Coquí Crusader was made with AI-assisted tools under the developer's direction.
The coquí mascot logo and the background music were AI-generated. AI coding assistance was used to build the game and to help write its in-game and store text, all reviewed by the developer.
Every design decision was made by the developer: the mechanics, the progression and balance, and the Puerto Rican setting — the ten zones based on real landmarks, the folklore creatures from Taíno legend, and the Spanish localization.
No content is generated during gameplay, and the game never connects to any external AI service.
Generative AI was used during development to create pre-generated artwork (including fictional film posters and marketing images), narration, and some text and translations. These are fixed assets shipped with the game. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an external AI service.
We used AI tools in two places during development, and in neither of them to replace creative work.
Our French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean localisations are made using AI. We also used AI assistance while writing and restructuring parts of our codebase.
Everything players see and hear — art, animation, sound, music, game design and all original writing — was made by people.
All simulation, art, audio and text in Terra Logic are hand-made — the game ships with no AI-generated content and makes no network requests by default. One optional feature can generate text at runtime: the "whisper" narrator, a single one-line ambient caption. By default it composes lines from a built-in, hand-written phrase library. Players who supply their own Anthropic (Claude) API key in a local config file may enable AI-generated phrasing for that one caption line; without a key the AI path is fully inactive. AI output never affects simulation, gameplay, art, audio, or any other text.
There is usage of generative AI in two places and everything it produced has been reviewed. The soundtrack was created with the assistance of AI, and some of the writing was drafted with an AI assistant and then edited afterwards: card, UI and help text, the Simplified Chinese translation, and the store page and marketing copy. Nothing else is model output — the logo, the app icon and every visual in the game are drawn by the game's own code from geometry in the source, and the sound effects are synthesized as you play.
AI-generated content in this project is limited to the store page and marketing materials. The game build itself contains no AI-generated content.
Store page text: The store description and Early Access questionnaire answers were drafted with the assistance of a large language model, then reviewed and edited by the developer.
Not AI-generated: All in-game art, models, textures and animation. 3D assets are CC0-licensed (Kenney) or built by the developer in Blender; textures are CC0/licensed sets from Poly Haven, ambientCG and Poliigon. All screenshots and capsule images are real frames captured from the game's renderer, composited with the game's own title typography. No image generation model was used to produce any art in the game or on the store page.
A moonlighting project from a husband and father of two, where late evenings and early mornings were made a little easier by generative AI tooling. The game's art, the pilot voice-over, and the music all started as AI-generated assets that I then reviewed, edited, and shaped into the game. The direction and the decisions are mine; nothing is generated while you play. Always open to constructive feedback.
Generative AI is used in a supplementary capacity, at two points. First, as a drafting step for some of the game's 2D illustrations: every such asset is then rebuilt through our own production pipeline — reduced to a strict 1-bit black-and-white format, curated, and animated frame by frame with in-house tools — so that it matches our art direction. Second, the game is written in French, and its translations into the eight other supported languages are AI-assisted. No generative AI runs in the game itself: all content ships fixed with the build.
Generative AI is used in this game for tasks such as music generation. As an indie game and a small software development studio, we simply do not have the budget to license a large number of well-known and popular songs. Unfortunately, nothing comes for free – so AI is used as an alternative.
AI is also used for tasks such as integrating graphics, music and beat analysis, and translating content. AI can complete time-consuming tasks within minutes that would otherwise take a human several hours.
No jobs are being replaced or put at risk through the use of AI in this project. This “crazy game” was still made with lots of love by humans. An AI probably would not have come up with a game idea like this anyway.
And because it fits the topic far too well: purely on principle, this disclosure text was of course also written with the help of AI.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create some content, including the English localization, music and sound effects, the 3D-rendered block art pipeline, and parts of the store/marketing materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and refined by the developer. No content is generated by AI at runtime.
Generative AI was used to assist with some artwork, writing, localization, and game development. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer before being included. The game does not use live generative AI to create content during gameplay.
This game uses content created or assisted by generative AI. Generative AI was used to help create and edit some visual assets, music/sound materials, and scripts. All final content was reviewed, selected, and adjusted by the developer before being included in the game.
This game was created by an independent developer. Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, debugging, text editing, and the initial localization of Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay, and player data is not used for AI training.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some visual assets, written content, and localization used in the game and related store materials.

During development of this game, generative AI was used for the creation of some sound effects and background music, localization.
Generative AI was not used in the creation of the game's artwork or story.
AI tools were used to help draft some text, such as this store page description and the in-app guide (all reviewed by the developer). The application itself does not ship AI-generated content: every measurement, analysis, and recommendation is computed locally with deterministic algorithms.
AI-based tools were used solely as a supportive aid for creating select pre-rendered in-game assets and text, with all final content thoroughly reviewed and refined by the development team. The game contains no live-generated AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the localization of some in-game text and the creation of certain visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.
AI-generated content is used in the following areas of this game:
- Icons: Some card icon artwork was AI-assisted.
- Localization: All translated text was generated using AI.
- Game balance: Adjustments were guided by AI-based simulation.
- Help / guide / character text: Generated with AI, then edited by the developer.
- Story text: AI was used during early drafting, but nearly all of it has been rewritten by the developer.
Some of this game's assets were made with the help of generative AI tools and then edited by hand: the in-game notebook UI sprites, a few background props and set-dressing models, some texture work, and the English localization, which was drafted from our Korean original and reviewed by us.
The original Korean writing, the characters, the level design, and all gameplay systems were made without generative AI. Nothing is generated while you play.
