was created by the human development team.
This game uses AI-generated content for marketing and
promotional materials, including the game trailer, teaser,
Steam capsule images, title images, and other marketing assets.
Most of the AI-generated images were additionally edited and
refined by our team using artistic and creative techniques
to better fit the game's visual style.
The AI-generated content is limited to external marketing
materials only. All actual gameplay, game mechanics, and
in-game content were created by the development team.
AI was used to translate the game into certain languages. When selecting one of these languages for the first time, a notification appears. Additionally, a marker is displayed next to the language name in the options menu.
Furthermore, AI was utilized to generate some of the graphical assets and may have been used in the creation of videos.
Lumenfall is built by a small studio using AI-assisted development tools. Some pre-generated content — including portions of the game's code, the store page text, and the 2D promotional/capsule artwork and achievement icons — was created with the help of AI tools, always under human direction and review. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime; everything you play is fixed, hand-tuned content.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence as a supporting tool for the creation of some visual and graphic assets, such as the game icon, logo, promotional images, main menu artwork, buttons, and certain visual or typography styles used within the game.
All AI-generated or AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and manually selected by the developer before being included in the game. Generative AI is not used during gameplay to create real-time content or to dynamically modify the player experience.
Some 2D character illustrations, backgrounds, and UI elements in this game were created with the help of generative AI tools during development, and then manually edited, refined, and reviewed by the developer.
This game uses generative AI during gameplay to create an original in-game character called a "Logos" for use by that player. Based on text entered or selected by the player, the AI generates a 2D illustration of the Logos in real time, along with its name, flavor text, and similar content. The generated Logos can be added to your deck and used to progress through the game.
The game also includes pre-generated AI content: enemy and event illustrations were created with Adobe Firefly during development. Generation is performed using cloud-based external AI services (Adobe Firefly for image generation, OpenAI for text generation).
The words entered by the player, generation conditions, and the data of the generated Logos are sent to and stored on our server. These records are used to provide the generation feature, review reported results, and investigate errors. A generated Logos is visible only to the player who created it and is not shared with other players.
Some information required for generation is sent from our server to external AI services. Data sent from our server to these services is not used to train or improve their models. Please do not enter any personal information, such as your name or contact details, or any confidential information you would not want third parties to know.
Some ambient background music tracks used in the game were generated using AI tools. The music is pre-generated and does not change or generate live during gameplay.
Generative AI-assisted tools were used as part of the development process for Xenogarden.
This includes support in creating and refining selected visual content such as concept art, artwork, textures, marketing materials and store page assets, as well as assistance with text, localization, sound/music ideas and creative drafts.
All content included in the game is pre-generated, selected, reviewed and curated. The game does not generate new AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services during gameplay.
- Character photos and video clips shown in the in-game Stories feed were generated using AI tools (image and video generation), then reviewed, edited, and composited by the developer to fit the game's art direction.
- AI-assisted tools were used in parts of the development process.
Forged Cards is a passion project, built by one person. I'm not a game studio, I'm a single developer who fell in love with an idea for a deck-builder where you build the cards and set out to make it real.
Games like this usually take a team. Modern AI development tools are a big part of how one person was able to build something at this scope. I used AI coding assistants to help me build and iterate on the game's systems, AI image generation for the art, and AI-generated sound effects, all of it reviewed, edited, and shaped by me to fit the world I wanted to create. Every card, every enemy, every choice about how this game looks and feels came from a person (and some close friends) who cared about getting it right.
I'm being upfront about this because I think you deserve to know how the thing you're playing was made. Forged Cards exists because these tools let one person build a game that otherwise would have stayed an idea in a notebook.
Some store page artwork, promotional artwork, and marketing assets for False Normality were created or assisted using generative AI tools. The game's design, writing direction, rule system, gameplay logic, editing, and final asset selection were created and curated by the developer. False Normality does not use live-generated AI during gameplay.
I have used AI-assisted tools to generate specific visual assets for the game, including the library logo and certain promotional marketing materials. The AI was utilized solely for asset creation and does not generate content dynamically during live gameplay. The game's core mechanics and narrative elements were developed by our team without AI-generated procedural systems.
Some of this game's assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then curated, edited, and integrated by the developer. This includes art assets such as character portraits, location backgrounds, and promotional artwork, as well as sound. The game's code was written with AI coding tools under the developer's direction. The game's design, systems, writing, and creative direction are human-authored and directed.
Generative AI technology is used in a supplementary capacity during the creation of some user interface assets.
Any such assets are replaced through our production pipeline by our art and development teams, ensuring they meet our quality standards and creative direction.
Generative AI was used to create some promotional images for the Steam store page. The game itself and its gameplay do not contain AI-generated content.
This game uses AI assistance as a support tool for efficient development.

The game does not connect to a live generative AI service during play and does not generate new player-facing AI content at runtime.
The in-game music and soundtrack are created using Suno (generative AI). All visual art is produced procedurally through code. Development used an AI coding assistant (Claude), which is a development-efficiency tool; it does not generate any content live at runtime. No generative AI runs during gameplay.
We used a Gen AI powered tool to localize the following:
- (in some languages) In-game text
- (in some languages) Steam store descriptions
We plan to replace these with human translation and LQA when we can afford it.
Until then, we are using Gen AI temporarily.
Some 2D artwork in Akwarium (characters, UI, environments, and store images) was created with generative AI tools, then reviewed and refined by the developer. No gameplay content is generated by AI in real time.
This game is a solo-developed project. Generative AI tools were used as part of the production workflow, including assistance with code and base visual assets. No generative AI output is used as a final in-game asset – all assets were manually edited and finalized by the developer. All gameplay design, creative direction, balancing, and content decisions were made by the developer.
Some visual assets used during the development of **Hordes of War** were created or enhanced with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence. These assets include certain promotional artwork, concept art, and placeholder images used during development.
All gameplay systems, game design, world-building, maps, mechanics, balance, programming, and the final implementation of in-game content have been created, reviewed, and curated by the development team. Any AI-assisted content is carefully edited and integrated to ensure it meets the artistic style and quality standards of the game.

Utilizing artificial intelligence, we enhanced vintage photographs and photographs of the development team to align with the game’s aesthetic for paintings in game.
Netshell uses AI to power its characters. The NPCs you meet on the in-game forums and IRC read what is happening in your playthrough and respond in character, so their messages and forum posts are generated rather than pre-scripted, and each player's world unfolds differently.
All of this runs locally and offline: the AI models ship with the game and run on your machine. Netshell never connects to a third-party AI service such as ChatGPT or Claude. You can turn the AI off entirely, in which case the NPCs stop chatting and the game continues with its authored story.
Some Steam store and trailer assets were created with AI assistance and then edited/curated by the development team. During gameplay, Netshell only uses AI to generate in-character NPC text.
A small number of texture assets use generative AI as a starting point and were manually edited for use in-game. Most visual assets are original, licensed, purchased, or used with creator permission.
