Some music and visual artwork included in the game were created or enhanced using generative AI-assisted tools. AI-assisted coding tools were also used during development to help write and refine portions of the game’s code. Every AI-assisted element was reviewed, edited, selected, integrated, and tested by the developer before inclusion. No AI content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services. All AI-assisted content included with the game is fixed and pre-generated.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with drafts and revisions of some pre-generated in-game text, interface copy, localization, and store and library artwork. All resulting content is selected, edited, and reviewed by the developer before shipping. The game does not generate content with AI at runtime.
This game uses generative AI in a limited capacity on the game server in real time. The AI is used solely to generate narrative text: mission names and descriptions, in-world news broadcasts, and some NPC dialogue. All game logic — including mission mechanics, rewards, and balance — is governed by deterministic code and is never decided by AI. If the AI service is unavailable, the game automatically falls back to pre-written text templates.
Portions of imagery were produced with the assistance of generative AI.

We are a two-person indie team with over a decade of real-world game development experience. Pat has been making games for 10 years, and Nate was a professional working artist long before generative AI tools existed.
We know AI in games is a dealbreaker for some folks, and we struggle with how much to use it ourselves. We want to be completely upfront about how we built this so you have the full picture:
- Visuals: We used generative AI alongside our standard software to speed up ideation and automate tedious tasks. Every final in-game element is as handmade as any other pre-LLM digital art. Most of the icons were licensed from a third-party.
- Code: We used AI assistants for pair-programming and troubleshooting complex engine logic on a project that two non-engineers couldn't otherwise build alone.
No content is generated live in-game at runtime.
We believe in total transparency with our players. We built this game to celebrate developers, and we want to be completely open about how we made it. As busy parents navigating the job hunt during development, these tools gave us the leverage to build and ship an ambitious project that we simply couldn't have created otherwise.
Dashdoce was created and directed by a single independent developer. AI-assisted tools were used to help implement, debug and test the software and to draft or polish portions of interface text, localization and store copy. All concepts, feature ideas, visual and interaction design decisions, behavior specifications and final approvals were conceived, directed and carefully curated by the developer. AI served as an implementation tool, not as the source of the product's ideas. Dashdoce does not generate content with AI while running.
During the development of this game, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies were utilized as supplementary tools to streamline production and enhance the overall player experience. Specifically, AI-assisted systems were employed during the localization process to translate in-game text into multiple languages, ensuring broader accessibility for a global audience. Furthermore, AI tools were utilized to assist in the editing, generation, and refinement of certain in-game materials and visual assets. All AI-assisted content has been carefully reviewed, modified, and integrated by our development team to ensure it meets our quality standards and artistic vision.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some promotional and marketing materials, including the game's capsule artwork and logo. These materials were reviewed, edited, and finalized by the development team. Generative AI is not used to generate content dynamically during gameplay.
This game uses generative AI to create the following content:
- Images (backgrounds, character portraits, item art, UI, and store capsule art): image generation models
- Music: Suno
- Sound effects: procedural synthesis, plus OpenMOSS MOSS-SoundEffect v2 (Apache-2.0)
- Text and code: created with the assistance of generative AI
All of the above were pre-generated during development. No AI runs at runtime.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation and iteration of some pre-generated 2D visual assets, UI elements, and promotional materials. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and curated by the developer. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
Byte Bistro was developed with assistance from generative AI tools (such as Large Language Models) to help write and structure the source code and draft store descriptions. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated manually. The game does not feature live, runtime generative AI or external API connections during gameplay.
BOOKED uses generative AI-assisted artwork for some fictional in-game book covers and selected promotional/store artwork. Generative AI was also used to assist with some fictional book titles and creative concepts. All generated content was reviewed and selected by the developer before being included in the game.

This game uses generative AI for part of its artwork and its voice lines.
The hunter portraits were created with a generative AI image model, then selected, retouched and approved by hand. The voices you hear over the radio were produced with an AI voice model, speaking scripts written by the developer.
All of this was generated during development and is fixed in the build. No generative AI runs while you play: nothing is created live, and the game never contacts an AI service.
AI was used to assist with the translation of the game's text into supported languages. No generative AI was used to create the game's art, music, or other game content.
Uncle is 3D artist, uncle job replaced by AI, so uncle learn coding and use AI tool to assist with software programming. Uncle also use photoshop AI to modify some 2D textures.
Everything else is handcrafted, especially the 3D models. AI generated 3D model sucks but I think it's gonna catch up soon at this rate 😭
During development, we may use procedural and AI-assisted tools to support content creation. The final product reflects the creative direction, authorship, and expression of the development team.
Generative AI tools were used during development as part of the visual ideation and reference process for some in-game objects. Final game assets were created, assembled, and manually refined by the developer. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay.
Some in-game assets were created with generative AI tools during development. Visual assets — including player portraits, team logos, and court designs — are a mix of hand-crafted artwork and AI-generated images, and some sound effects and music were made with AI audio tools. Similar assets may be added in future updates. All AI-generated content is reviewed by the developer before inclusion, is entirely fictional, and depicts no real people, real teams, or licensed properties.

We use AI tools as part of our developer workflow, in some cases for generative textures, 2D or 3D placeholders, in other cases for actual designs to be used in the game, this can also be a mix of both.
Artificial intelligence was used as a development assistant to generate the game's source code, as well as to write and translate the interface text (localization).
Visual Assets: As a solo developer, I use generative AI to create initial variations for scenery, textures, character sprites, and UI. No raw AI output ships in the game — every asset is hand-edited, composited, and cleaned up to match the game's aesthetic.
Music: The soundtrack and ambient music are created with AI audio tools, then curated and sequenced into a cohesive, atmospheric score.
Shirt Happens! was made with the help of generative AI. We used it to write and review
code, to bring the game's mechanics online, to support our UI work, to generate visual
assets and reference images for our 2D and 3D art, to draft written text including parts
of this store page, and as a sounding board for design ideas. Everything it produced was
reviewed, edited and finished by us before it shipped.
