AI generation was temporarily used for placeholder assets, sound effects, and code during early development. all of these will be replaced with custom work before the official launch. AI is not used at runtime.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of some pre-generated visual assets for this game, including character and enemy artwork, scene and interface backgrounds, item and skill icons, and some promotional artwork for the Steam store. All such assets were manually selected, edited, cropped, adjusted, and reviewed by the developer before being integrated into the game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create selected pre-generated content, including character and environment artwork, some user interface artwork, music, some voice-over audio, and localization. The visual assets were subsequently edited and customized by the developer. All AI-assisted content is selected, reviewed, and integrated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
We used AI-assisted tools during development to help create and iterate on internal game code, UI sprites, and some 3D model assets. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed, edited, and approved by the development team before being included in the game. The game does not allow players to generate AI content during gameplay.
An AI-assisted tool was used to create a preliminary translation pass that was reviewed and revised by human localization professionals.
AI was not and will not be used to generate in-game art, audio, narrative, or gameplay elements.
Some of the game's 2D artwork, including character, enemy and boss sprites, item icons, and backgrounds, was created using generative AI tools. All such assets were individually reviewed, selected, polished and integrated by the development team.
Save Point has been in continuous development since 2021 and is, to our knowledge, the world’s first purpose-built AI-native interactive cinematic engine. The Needle uses this technology to deliver a continuously responsive cinematic experience that goes far beyond conventional branching video. AI-assisted production tools helped create portions of the game’s pre-rendered audiovisual content, with every shipped asset human-directed, reviewed, edited, and integrated. The game also offers locally processed voice controls, alongside keyboard and gamepad support. No unreviewed audiovisual content is generated and delivered to players during gameplay. The project represents tens of thousands of hours of human design, engineering, direction, editing, and testing, with AI serving as the enabling technology behind an experience an independent studio could not otherwise produce at any cost, much less a reasonable one. We didn't use AI to save money, we used it because without AI there wasn't enough money in the world to build a game like this.
Lateral Crawl will launch in Early Access. The Early Access build will contain some AI-generated and developer-edited sound effects, which are planned to be replaced before the 1.0 release.
During development, this game used generative AI to assist in creating certain visual assets and text content. All final content has been reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer; the game does not include any functionality that dynamically generates content with AI during gameplay.
We used AI to assist in creating portions of the game text, and leveraged AI tools to translate in-game content into English. All AI-generated content has been manually reviewed and vetted before being finalized for inclusion in the game.
- Audio: background music is generated with AI music tools.
- Translation: in-game and store text is translated using AI.
- Code: the game's code, including the code that draws every visual at runtime,
was written with the help of an AI coding assistant.
As a solo developer I find use of AI to be one of my most prominent and efficient tools ever used.
I'm heavily relying on Gemini, Claude and QWEN to create my code snippets and review them. I also manually review their work from time to time.
Visual assets creation also rely on AI(NanoBanana2). Some of the assets are my sketches that has been polished to perfection by AI. Some are AI generated and hand-edited after and some, I'll be totally honest here, are fully AI generated, via meticulous prompt engineering and trial and errors.
I'm heavily opposed to using AI to create slop or mass produce clones of existing content. But I'm a firm believer that, when curated by talented individual with solid vision, it can achieve great results.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating some game assets, including visual and audio content. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and refined by the development team before being included in the game.
Some pre-rendered artwork — event illustrations, key art, and store capsule images — was created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then selected, edited, and composited by the developer. Localization drafts were produced with AI translation tools and reviewed by the developer. All in-game unit, UI, and map art uses licensed, human-made asset packs. No content is generated by AI at runtime.
AI was used only to help create a few marketing images (capsule art and header capsule). All store screenshots, written content, and in-game art, audio, and text are handcrafted. The game contains no live or runtime AI-generated content.
To streamline development and enhance our creative vision, generative AI technologies were utilized in the following areas during the production of this game:
Programming & Development Support: AI tools assisted in drafting source code and verifying game logic.
Art & Visual Assets: AI tools were used to assist with concept art and base background materials, all of which were manually retouched, processed, and reconstructed.
Music: AI tools were used to assist in arranging and producing original tracks, followed by manual editing and mastering.
All AI-assisted assets have been carefully curated, modified, and reviewed manually by the developer prior to integration into the game. The game does not feature any live-generated AI content during gameplay, and development strictly adheres to all applicable legal standards and Steam's content guidelines.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating some 2D graphics, visual effects, and sound effects. AI-generated outputs are reviewed and edited before being used in the game. The game does not use generative AI or generate AI content during gameplay.
Yes, we used AI to translate our game into several languages other than French and English, in order to make it accessible to a wider international audience.
This project used AI-assisted tools during development, primarily for promotional artwork, code development, the creation of art assets, and music production.
AI was mainly used to improve development efficiency and assist in creating original content. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, selected, edited, redrawn, adjusted, tested, or rearranged, and was further refined to ensure consistency with the game's overall style and actual development needs.
As a solo indie developer, I used Generative AI tools during development to create certain icons and UI graphic elements in order to streamline the visual pipeline and reduce overall development time. All AI-generated assets are pre-generated static images included directly in the game files; no AI content is generated live during gameplay.
Some of this game's 2D art (such as item icons and UI illustrations) was created with the help of generative AI, and AI was also used to help write and translate some in-game and store page text. All of it was reviewed and finalized by the developer, and no content is generated by AI while you play.
We employ generative AI technologies during the creation of some illustrations and music. All elements that make up the core and essence of the game are still done by us - the devs.
Some of the content in Dawnheart Keepers was created with the help of generative AI tools during development. All of it was made before release: the game does not generate anything with AI while you play, and it never connects to an AI service.
What that covers:
- Illustrated art - menu and story backgrounds, story scenes, the world map, character and tower portraits, and the upgrade-card plates - was made with image-generation models run locally on the developer's own machine, from prompts the developer wrote.
- The English and Hebrew voice-over was generated with ElevenLabs from scripts written by the developer.
- Sound effects were generated from written prompts, or synthesised procedurally in code.
All of it was reviewed, edited, curated and tested by the developer before it shipped, and the same applies to the trailer and store art.
The music is not AI-generated. It is written as code and synthesised by the game itself while you play, the way game soundtracks were built before recorded audio.
Generative AI tools assisted with selected pre-generated UI artwork and sound/music effects.
All generated assets were reviewed and edited by the development team.
The development of this game makes extensive use of generative AI. AI tools were used to help create the game's art and visual assets, sound and music, text and narrative, code, and localization. All AI-assisted content is reviewed by our team before release to ensure quality and appropriateness.
Pre-rendered Content:
Generative AI tools and agentic AI development workflows were utilized during the creation of this game to assist in:
- Code & Systems: Writing and optimizing core gameplay logic, typescript structures, and simulation algorithms.
- Visual Assets: Creating and pre-rendering all visual assets used in-game, including boot screen artworks, drive interfaces, and graphical components.
- Localization: Translating and reviewing in-game text and UI labels.
Please note that all AI-assisted assets and code were pre-rendered and compiled during the development phase. The game runs entirely locally and does not perform any real-time (live) AI generation, nor does it connect to any external AI APIs or services during gameplay.
Generative AI tools (OpenAI ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude) were used during development to help create or transform some visual assets and to assist in designing the procedural audio recipes used for the game’s background music and most sound effects. All AI-assisted materials were reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated by the developer, who made all final creative decisions. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay, and no player input or data is sent to AI services.
