AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of some pre-generated content included in the game. All such content was reviewed, curated, and edited by the developer before inclusion. Some 2D sprites, icons, and key art were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Music and sound effects were also created with the assistance of AI audio tools. Localization for languages other than English was produced with AI assistance and reviewed by the developer. The game does not use generative AI at runtime and does not generate any live AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used throughout development to assist in creating and refining game code, 2D artwork, UI assets, audio, music, and written content, and Steam promotional materials. All AI-assisted content included in the released product is selected, reviewed, integrated, and tested by the developer. The game does not use generative AI at runtime and does not generate content or code during gameplay.
We used generative AI tools (such as Midjourney) to pre-generate some background illustrations and story artworks. All generated assets have been carefully reviewed and edited to ensure they do not violate any copyright or community guidelines.
Our game, Neo-Exodus: Last Bastion, utilizes generative AI tools to assist in the creation of certain visual assets. Specifically, AI-generated content is used for some static background images, textures, and promotional art displayed on the store page and within the game. All AI-generated content is pre-generated; there is no real-time generation of content during gameplay. We have manually reviewed and curated all AI-assisted assets to ensure they meet our quality and safety standards.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of certain artwork, background music, sound effects, and translations. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.

About the Use of AI in the Game
AI-assisted tools have been used in various aspects of this project's development process.
Programming: AI-assisted tools were used during the development of game systems, user interfaces, and various technical features. The generated code was reviewed, edited, tested, and adapted to the project's needs by the development team.
Visuals: AI tools were used in the creation of certain concept designs, environment artwork, and visual content. However, all content was reviewed, refined, and adapted to fit the artistic direction of the project by the development team.
Creative Process: The development process generally follows three stages. First, the game concept, environment designs, and core creative decisions are created by the team. AI tools are then used to generate alternative ideas, variations, and more detailed iterations of existing concepts. Finally, all results are reviewed, refined, and improved through manual quality control processes.
For example, some environment designs begin with compositions and layouts created by the team. AI tools may then be used to assist with additional detailing, after which the final adjustments and refinements are completed manually.
Our goal is to use AI as a tool that supports the creative process while ensuring that all creative decisions, project direction, and final quality control remain under human supervision.
Generative AI is used to post-process capsule and marketing artwork on this game's Steam page; the underlying compositions and creative direction are the developer's own.
I am a solo developer. In the initial phase, I utilized AI tools to assist with generating partial concept designs, primarily to rapidly prototype and confirm the visual style. Every piece of final art you see in the game has been meticulously tweaked and optimized by my own hands to guarantee it aligns with the game's quality and aesthetic requirements.
Some item names and interface translations into languages other than English were created
with AI assistance, then carefully reviewed and edited by the developer. Parts of the 2D
artwork were created with image generation tools, then carefully curated, edited, and
composited by hand. Audio was created by people and comes from CC0-licensed sources with
attribution. No AI content is generated during gameplay. The game does not generate AI
content at runtime, and no player data is ever sent to any AI service.
Hedra began as a physical board game designed and refined by one human developer over ten years. Nearly all of the tabletop game was created without generative AI; AI had a limited role in balance analysis. For the digital edition, AI tools played a substantial role in programming and technical development, including the original web app and its conversion into a desktop game. Most of Hedra's visual artwork was created with generative AI tools, then selected, reviewed, and integrated by the developer. The game contains pre-generated AI-assisted content. It does not generate artwork, text, audio, or other content while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating the following assets:
- Text translation
- Background music
- Background and cat images
All AI-generated content was thoroughly reviewed, adjusted, and edited by the developer to ensure quality and compliance with all applicable licenses.
The game's art and audio content — including visual assets, UI elements, and store page artwork — was generated with the assistance of AI tools during development and then refined by the team. All AI-generated content was created during development; the game does not generate content while you play.

All AI-generated content was created during development; the game does not generate content while you play.
Ruthless Returns is a solo-developed game built and refined over hundreds of hours. The original version was created on paper in 2022, but at the time I did not have the resources to turn it into a full game.
Early prototypes used licensed images with a simple painted treatment. It worked, but the visual style was ultimately shaped by whatever suitable assets were available. Generative AI made it possible to create artwork specifically for Ruthless Returns and give the game a much more consistent look and feel from top to bottom. AI was used for the card artwork and character voices.
That also made it possible for me to finally turn the original paper concept into a PC game. If players enjoy it, I hope to take it full circle and eventually produce Ruthless Returns as a physical board game.
Balancing combines extensive human playtesting with more than 500,000 simulated games. The simulations were used to analyze win rates, card strength, strategies and interactions across a much larger number of matches than manual playtesting alone could realistically cover.
Some of this game's visual assets (logo, promotional and store page images, character/enemy) were created with the aid of generative AI tools during development. All generated content was reviewed, curated and refined manually by the developer. The game does not use generative AI in real time during gameplay: all assets are pre-generated and static.
Generative AI tools were used during the development process to assist with the creation of some visual assets, including certain interface elements, artwork, and promotional materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team. The game does not generate player-facing content using AI during gameplay.
The developer used generative AI tools during development to help create some art assets (such as character portraits, sprites, and background art) and marketing materials (store capsules and trailers), and to assist with text localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer. The game itself does not generate any content in real time and does not connect to AI services during gameplay.
SnapQuest uses live-generated AI as part of its core photo-scanning mechanic. When a player captures or selects a photo, a vision-language model analyzes the image and generates structured card content, including a card name, description, category, and gameplay attributes. The card artwork uses the player's submitted photo rather than an AI-generated replacement image. Generated results vary depending on the submitted photo.
We use AI to speed up the drawings, but all materials has been heavily modified, over-painted, and refined by human artist. There is no live AI generation within the shipped game.
During development, AI-assisted and AI-generated tools were used for pre-generated player-facing content.
Our production workflow combines original human-created assets with AI-assisted or AI-generated content. AI tools were used to assist with text translation/localization, visual asset modification and refinement, and the generation of certain audio assets.
Most final assets are the result of a mixed workflow: they may include both original developer-created elements and AI-assisted or AI-generated elements. All final text, visual, and audio assets included in the game have been manually reviewed, edited, selected, and approved by the development team.
The game does not include live-generated AI content. It does not generate new text, images, audio, or other player-facing content through AI during gameplay.
This game's 3D environment was created with the help of AI-based 3D scene generation tools. Some marketing materials (trailer footage) were also created using AI image and video generation tools. No AI-generated content is created live during gameplay — all AI-assisted content was produced during development and is fixed at release.
This game uses generative AI to interpret the player’s written question and create tarot-style responses during each reading. AI-generated text is used for card interpretations and the final answer. The game does not use AI to make real predictions or provide professional advice.
Generative AI was used in the game's art production for image creation and image enhancement.
Generative AI was used to translate the game's localized content.
This game was originally written in Chinese, and all non-Chinese localizations were created with the assistance of AI translation.
A part of game music was created by AI.
All other content — artwork, game design — was created by the development team without the use of generative AI.
Some of the artwork in Arcanum Collegium — including character portraits and illustrations — was created with the help of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted art was reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer to match the game's overall visual style. No AI-generated content is created live during gameplay; everything you see was finalized before release.
Portions of this game's art and audio were created using generative AI tools during development: card and character artwork, backgrounds and icons (including store page artwork), music, sound effects, and voice audio were AI-generated under human direction, then curated and edited by the developers. Game design, rules, code, card text and names, and all narrative writing are human-authored. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
