Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Some of the game's visual assets — UI textures, illustrations, icons and marketing artwork — were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then manually curated, edited and integrated by the developer. All game design, writing, code and systems are human-made. No AI content is generated at runtime.
Loot Survivors is made by one person.
I use generative AI as a production tool so that a solo developer can deliver the quality and the update pace players expect. It helps me with things like concept art and texture work, UI icons, and item and flavor text.
Every generated asset is reviewed, edited, and hand-integrated by me — AI output is a starting point, never a finished asset. The game's design, systems, balance, and code direction are my own work.
Nothing is generated while you play. All content ships inside the build.
Quillzyra: Character Studio uses generative AI locally on the user's computer to create and interact with fictional characters. The application may generate character dialogue, personality text, memory summaries, character descriptions, and optional 2D character portraits based on user input.
The AI features are intended for fictional character creation, simulation, and conversation. The application does not rely on an external AI service during gameplay.
AI tools were used only during the concept development stages. All final content was reviewed and edited by the development team. All artwork used on the Steam store page was created by freelance 2D artists.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with some visual assets, text and localization, and code. All AI-assisted content included in the game and its marketing materials was reviewed and edited by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Portions of the game's artwork and promotional graphics were created with the assistance of generative AI and then reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. No live AI-generated content is produced during gameplay.
AI has been used to help code and shape the games content including Codex and Claude code. A premium Suno account was used to create music for the game. Codex was used to help generate art and in-game assets. All lore, scripting, and general architecture was hand crafted by the author of the game.
Artificial intelligence was used to create certain user interface elements and to modify the Steam capsule. Although the background of the Steam capsule comes directly from the game, the image was modified using artificial intelligence.
Some pre-generated artwork and visual assets used in the game and its store and marketing materials were created with generative AI tools, then selected, edited, and integrated by the development team. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while you play.
This app includes an optional AI chat feature: your cheer character can chat with you in real time, powered by generative AI. Using the chat feature consumes an in-app currency ("gems"), which can be purchased. A background image used on the store/library page (depicting a keyboard and a mug) was also created with the assistance of generative AI tools.
Johnny Jagung uses generative AI across much of its content. The visual art (character, enemy, boss, and UI artwork), music, sound effects, in-game text, and Indonesian translation were all created with the help of generative AI tools, then reviewed, curated, and assembled into the game by the developer — for instance, character art is hand-edited, composited, and animated from generated source images. All AI-generated content is created during development; the game does not generate anything live while you play.
Generative AI tools were used solely to assist in the creation of the background music for Beat Boxy. All other game assets, sound effects, UI elements and level designs were either created directly by the developer, or acquired through Creative Commons Licensing.
While a vast majority of Gloomhallow was human created, it was created by a solo developer (single person) - AI assisted in very specific fields such as;
- C# Coding
- SFX Generation
- OST Creation
- Very select UI Animations
Aquasushi Cat was created in collaboration between a human developer and AI tools.
• Music and songs were generated locally using AI (ComfyUI).
• Parts of the game's code — including the code that procedurally draws the hand-styled vector graphics — were written with the help of an AI assistant (Claude).
• The in-game localization (English and Japanese) and store text were produced with AI assistance.
• A small number of sound effects were AI-generated; most sounds were recorded by the developer.
All content was directed, reviewed and finalized by a human developer. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used to produce the game's source code and assist with music, localisation, store artwork, and some in-game text. The developer created the original concept, defined the intended gameplay and voxel-based presentation, and continuously reviewed, tested, corrected, refined, and approved the implementation. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
This game uses generative AI tools during development to help create some character voice lines and cutscene video sequences. AI is not used to generate live, novel content during gameplay - all AI-assisted content is pre-produced and reviewed by the development team before shipping.
Generative AI tools assisted with portions of the game's code, comedic written content, and certain original visual assets. The game also includes 12 pre-generated instrumental music tracks made with Suno. All AI-assisted material was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. Grave Danger does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Some of the placeholder art currently in Tiny Chef was generated with AI tools while the game is in development. It is temporary and is being replaced with final artwork drawn by a human artist.
Generative tools were used during development to assist with certain aspects of the games rendering systems; all such content was curated, reviewed, and integrated by the development team.
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 tools were used to create selected pre rendered promotional artwork displayed on the Steam Store page and in marketing materials. All such content was reviewed, curated and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI is used solely to assist with localization and translation work. The game does not use AI-generated art, audio, or real-time in-game content.
To streamline the creative workflow, this game incorporates AI-assisted tools. AI was employed for initial code prototyping and some asset creation; however, every aspect of the game has been extensively reviewed, modified, and refined to ensure high-quality performance and consistency.

Ironwake contains pre-generated AI content. Some 2D art assets (character sprites, portraits, item illustrations,
backgrounds, and icon sets) were created using AI image-generation tools (PixelLab and MidJourney, plus licensed
third-party icon packs produced with Stable Diffusion). Some sound effects, ambient audio, and music tracks were created
using AI audio-generation tools (ElevenLabs). All AI-generated assets were reviewed, curated, and edited by the
developer. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime, and no live AI models are accessed by the game.
Some visual assets, promotional artwork, and portions of the localization were created or assisted using generative AI during development. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Selected promotional artwork on the Steam store page was created with assistance from generative AI tools. This artwork was manually reviewed and edited by the developer. The application itself does not contain any AI-generated code or visual assets, does not generate AI content during use, and does not connect to external AI services.
Some visual assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools as part of the development process.
No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
The images and illustrations in Old Money (icons, scenes, backgrounds) as well as parts of the store artwork were created with generative AI image tools and were curated and edited by the developer. The program code and parts of the texts were also developed with the assistance of AI tools and were reviewed, tested and are the responsibility of the developer. The game concept, design and balancing come from the developer. No content is generated by AI at runtime, and the game does not send any data to AI services.
Some pre-rendered UI art (menu borders and decorative icons) was created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. No content is generated live during gameplay.
Our Policy on AI & Procedural Generation
Valenfeld is built by one person, on a shoestring budget, with an Elder Scrolls–sized ambition. Here is exactly how, and why, AI fits into that.
Why we use it
Valenfeld is a solo indie project chasing a scope that normally takes a studio of dozens: a massive, hand-lorekept world you can wander for years without hitting an edge. That scope is not achievable by one person typing every tree, every ruin, and every line of dialogue by hand on a shoestring budget and an ambitious timeline. So we lean on AI-enabled workflows and, more importantly, cutting-edge procedural algorithms to scale content production and world scale to match the ambition — not to replace it.
What always stays human
Every piece of content in the game — every place, character, creature, item, quest, and line of lore — is built and overseen by a human creator and judge, grounded in our own ideas, our own lore, and our own systems design. AI does not decide what Valenfeld is. It never originates the world's canon, its themes, or its design intent on its own; it accelerates producing what we've already decided the world should be, and everything it touches is reviewed before it ships.
Not AI slop — procedural generation is the point
We're not interested in dumping raw model output into the game and calling it done. Our actual goal is an experimental, large-scale world built on cutting-edge procedural algorithms — terrain, dungeons, towns, ecosystems, even history — designed to be massively replayable for years, not a one-and-done AI slideshow. AI-assisted tooling is one part of the production pipeline that gets us there faster on a small budget; the procedural systems and the authored lore they run on are the actual craft, and that's where our attention to detail goes.
Our bet
We believe that if we focus relentlessly on delivering the best game possible — with a genuinely obsessive eye for detail on everything we ship — we can produce something great on a low budget and a small team of one. That is the bar we hold ourselves to, not "shipped fast" or "shipped cheap."
As we grow
This is how we build today, as a solo project with an ambitious scope and timeline. If and when Valenfeld earns a bigger budget for this game or for future releases, we intend to keep building just as ambitiously — with a team of art, lore, and gameplay experts working alongside these same tools, not replaced by them. Thinking about the best possible game comes first; everything else, including how we scale to build it, follows from that.

Currently, the game uses around 10% conceptual/placeholder AI-generated textures. All of these placeholders will be completely replaced prior to the 1.0 full release.
The following are temporary AI placeholder textures:
- Most UI buttons
- Vehicle textures
- The home screen
- The mouse cursor
- Most of the shop scene
- All bridges
The following are NOT AI textures (100% custom-made):
- All enemy models and textures (minus the boss "evil reforged bot mk9001")
- All item icons and textures
- All levels (except for the underground bunker and frozen ridge, which temporarily share the home screen texture)
