AI assistance was used in the development of this game. Players are strongly advised to play using mainstream free "flash" AI APIs such as Agnes API or Qwen API — simply fill in your API information in the game settings. For the sake of speed, enabling thinking mode is not recommended. This game contains optional generative AI features. In “AI-Enhanced Narrative Mode”, the game calls the third-party LLM API you provide yourself, generating more immersive event text in real time as you play. This mode is entirely optional: even without connecting any API, you can still fully experience all of the built-in, human-written historical content and the core gameplay. The game will not use your gameplay data to train any models. All AI-generated content is controlled by your own API key and quota, and you are responsible for your own usage.
Some of the game’s visual assets were created with the assistance of AI tools.
All music featured in the game was created by human artists and is not AI-generated.
No AI-generated images, models, or audio appear in the game or on this Steam page. Music is composed and arranged by me in BandLab. UI and VFX are handmade or generated procedurally with code, including the breaking waves shaped by hand.
Otherwise, I code Shorebreaker with AI assistance: the design decisions are mine, and AI helps me work through, implement, and debug them. For self-marketing, some of my social media videos use AI voiceover from CapCut because I can't wake the baby.
Some visual, localization, store page, and marketing materials may be created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and polished by our team before use. No AI content is generated during gameplay.

# AI Disclosure
Generative AI was used during development as a creative support tool for selected visual and audio assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, curated and integrated by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
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.
Generative AI tools were used to create and refine selected promotional artwork for the Steam store page. All resulting materials were reviewed and curated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
Some visual assets in the game and its store materials were created with the assistance of generative AI. All AI-assisted content was generated prior to release and curated for use in the final game.
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.

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.
