Generative AI tools were used during development to create all visual artwork, sound effects, and music in Matchinko, including artwork used in store and marketing materials. AI tools also assisted with code, debugging, and drafts of some written content. All generated material was reviewed, selected, edited, tested, and integrated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate content using AI at runtime, connect to external AI services during play, or send player data to AI systems.
The game's code, writing (company names, event text, narrative flavor), and 2D art were created during development with AI assistance (Anthropic's Claude), directed, curated, and edited by the developer. All content is pre-generated: the game generates no AI content at runtime and connects to no AI services while you play.
Some of this game's localized text was translated with AI assistance. All translated content has been manually reviewed and proofread to ensure quality and accuracy, and does not contain any illegal or infringing material.
Generative AI tools assisted with parts of the development, iteration, and production process. The foundation of The Helios Accord—including its original concept, core ideas, world, systems, and narrative—was conceived, designed, and originally written by me. I direct, review, revise, and take responsibility for all AI-assisted material included in the game and its store presentation
Some of the game’s visual assets were created with the assistance of generative AI. All generated artwork is reviewed, edited, refined, and adapted by the development team to maintain a consistent visual identity and ensure that it matches the game’s artistic direction and design choices.
This approach was necessary due to the high cost of commissioning the full amount of artwork required from one or more professional artists or illustrators. Using AI-assisted tools helped keep the project financially viable, speed up production, and bring the game to players sooner while preserving a cohesive and recognizable style.
We use AI tools only to demonstrate the game's feel, for marketing materials, and to optimise development. 3D models, UI, characters, robot enemies, the main soundtrack and other key elements of the game are lovingly crafted by our team.
Yes, we're not the fastest indie developers in the world. But we're working hard for you! ^_^
Some visual and audio assets were created or assisted using AI tools, then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game's story, gameplay mechanics, dialogue, programming, and overall design were created by the developer.
This game uses AI-generated artwork for static marketplace listing images including cars, homes, investment properties, boats, and businesses shown in the Assets and Business panels, as well as for Steam achievement icons. All AI-generated content is created during development and shipped as fixed image files. The game does not generate any content live during gameplay and does not connect to any AI service while you play.
We utilize AI technology to enhance development efficiency and provide a broader experience for our players. Our use of AI is categorized as follows:
Art & Visuals: AI tools are used strictly for initial concept generation and as reference material. No AI-generated visual assets are used "as-is" in the final game. Every image is manually refined, repainted, and finalized by our artists to ensure a unique and high-quality aesthetic.
Sound & Coding: We utilize AI-assisted tools to optimize backend code performance and assist in sound engineering, allowing us to focus on core gameplay stability and mechanics.
In all areas, we are committed to transparency and will continue to update and polish the game's content based on player input and professional review.
CivEconomy: Future Leader uses locally-running AI for two optional gameplay features. All AI processing runs entirely on the player's machine — no data is sent to external servers.
Text AI (Command Processing): An on-device language model (Llama 3.2 1B via Ollama) interprets natural language player commands and classifies them into game actions. A keyword-matching fallback system works identically without AI enabled.
Image AI (Chieftain Portraits): An on-device Stable Diffusion 1.5 model generates decorative chieftain portrait images. These are purely cosmetic with no gameplay impact.
Both features are completely optional. The game is fully functional and playable without any AI features active.
During development, generative AI tools were used in the production of selected character sprites, backgrounds, CG illustrations, UI artwork, title logos, icons, and music. All AI-assisted assets were generated before release. The developer selected, directed, edited, composited, resized, recolored, and integrated these assets into the final game. Some production assets were also created directly or obtained from commercially licensed stock sources.
No generative AI runs during gameplay, and players cannot generate AI content through the game.
Character portraits, scene art, and voice performances were generated with licensed AI tools (PixelLab, ElevenLabs) under paid subscriptions, then curated, edited, and directed by hand.
The soundtrack is built on the developer's original compositions, produced and arranged with Suno under a paid subscription.
All game design, writing, and code are human-made. No AI generation occurs at runtime.
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.
FIRST LINE was designed and directed by its human developer: the gameplay systems, the mechanics, the narrative and every creative decision. The game's code — including the systems that render all visuals and synthesize all audio at runtime — was written with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code) under that direction. The English localization was also produced with AI assistance. No pre-generated AI images, audio, or video assets are included in the game. Parts of the store page text were also written with AI assistance.
Store artwork (capsules and icons) is likewise rendered by AI-written code under human direction.
The Tally was made by a solo developer working closely with an AI assistant. The game's code and written content were created with the help of AI under the developer's direction and review. All 3D models and music are the work of human artists, credited in-game. Textures are produced by procedural scripts, not image-generation models. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
During development we used generative AI in a few places. A large language model helped write some of the game's text (in-game descriptions, events, and store copy). The music and many of the sound effects were created with Adobe Firefly, while some other sounds are generated in real time by the game's own code. The app icon was also created with Adobe Firefly. The in-game graphics are drawn procedurally by the game's code and are not AI-generated. Nothing is generated by AI while you play: every AI-assisted asset is created during development and shipped as a fixed file. The generative AI tools used (Adobe Firefly) grant commercial usage rights.
AI was used to generate initial drafts for some images and illustrations. All resulting assets are used only after review and revision by the developer.
This game uses content created or assisted by generative AI. Generative AI was used to help create and edit some visual assets, music/sound materials, and scripts. All final content was reviewed, selected, and adjusted by the developer before being included in the game.
To create a better context and focus on the essential parts of the game, we used AI to help create some background art. After AI generated these images, our artists still had to refine them to ensure the style of the background.
We used AI tools during development to assist with portions of the game's code and some textures/images. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and finalized by the development team before being included in the game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
StorySmith uses generative AI to write its stories live as you and your Twitch chat make choices. The AI model runs locally on your machine by default, with an optional bring-your-own-key cloud option — so your playthroughs stay private and no two are ever the same.
Ai was used to develop the code, artwork, various events, and dialogue in the game. Most player-facing text was reviewed by humans and many of the events and conversations were approved, improved, or rewritten by humans. There is no run-time AI usage, everything was created before the game runs, only standard computer actions are done at runtime. ex. selections and randomization of existing content.
This game uses pre-generated AI-assisted content during development. AI tools were used to assist with the creation of certain visual assets and early concept artwork. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before inclusion in the final game. The game does not use live AI generation during gameplay.
Regent City uses generative AI in parts of its production pipeline, including some character artwork and voice performances. All shipped assets are selected, edited, and art-directed by the solo developer to maintain a consistent visual and narrative identity.
This game is being developed solo. As an independent developer working with limited resources and budget, AI tools have been used in the production of some visual and musical assets:
Some character concept art, store page marketing materials, and background/atmospheric visuals were created using AI visual generation tools, then edited and integrated by the developer to fit the game's art direction.
Some visuals are included as placeholders and will be changed during development.
Some background music tracks were created using AI music generation tools.
The game's codebase, gameplay mechanics, character design, dialogue writing, and overall creative direction were all created manually by the developer alone. AI tools were used as a tool where access to a professional art/sound team was not possible as a solo developer; final decisions, edits, and the overall creative direction of the game were shaped by the developer.
Some of this game's content was created with generative AI tools and then reviewed and edited by the developer. This includes visual assets (2D art, 3D models and characters), some in-game text and localization, and some audio. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
1453 contains pre-generated AI content: in-game illustrations and short ambient video clips created with generative image/video tools, curated and edited under human art direction and reviewed for historical accuracy. The narrative text is human–AI co-written and human-edited under the author's direction; the game design is the author's. No AI content is generated at runtime.
The characters in Conversation Simulator are played live by an AI language model that runs entirely on your computer — no cloud AI service is involved. All character dialogue and end-of-session feedback is generated locally during play. A built-in safety policy that cannot be disabled keeps generated content within a PG/PG-13 boundary: no sexual content, no content involving minors, no impersonation of real people, no voice cloning, and no claims to be a real therapist, doctor, or lawyer. Self-harm and crisis topics are intercepted and answered with a resource message instead of AI-generated content.
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.
This game was developed using generative AI during production. Generative AI was used to create the game's code, artwork, visual assets, user interface, music, sound effects, and text. All AI-generated content was reviewed, tested, curated, and integrated into the final game by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
This game contains pre-generated AI-assisted content created during development, including selected visual PNG assets, music tracks, and some localization/rules text.
