Pocket Pawns was made with the help of generative AI, and the game's own credits name every tool used.
Images and music: the chess piece art was generated with ChatGPT, the board art with Gemini, and the world and environment art from assets created with Nano Banana Pro alongside free-to-use CC0 packs found online. The soundtrack is from Suno.
Claude wrote the game's code, its writing, and its translations into ten languages — and made much of what you see and hear directly in code rather than from an image generator: the character pixel art, the in-world props and interface, the three-dimensional rooms, the animation, and the sound effects.
The chess itself is not generated. The puzzles come from the Lichess puzzle database, released under CC0, and your opponent is Stockfish, a classical open-source chess engine. Real positions, a real engine.
Nothing is generated while you play. Pocket Pawns creates no content at runtime and never connects to an AI service. It does not need an internet connection to play.
Crie au loup is made with AI, from the first prototype to the illustrations. That is not a manufacturing detail: it is as much the project as the game itself.
My role is not a craftsman's: I painted no card, and I did not write the code line by line. I designed the system, I direct it, I arbitrate and I verify. Deciding what makes it into the game, what gets redone, what gets cut: that is production work, and it is mine.
What is generated: the creature and location artwork, the interface, a large share of the code and the writing. What is measured rather than assumed: card balance, computed over thousands of simulated matches before every update. What is verified: the historical sources behind every legend, published one by one on the official site, where you can open them and prove me wrong.
What is never generated is your match. No image, no text and no game decision comes out of a model while you play: the engine is deterministic, and the solo opponent is a classic program applying the rules.
Crie au loup is one of the projects I run around generative AI, and the only one you can play. The making-of is documented without varnish in the devlog on the official site.
Some of this game's 2D art assets — creature, machine, prop and building sprites — were produced with the assistance of generative AI image tools during development. All generated material was reviewed, edited and hand-finished by our artists before it shipped, and it is integrated as fixed, pre-rendered art. The game does not generate any content live while you play.
OpenAI ImageGen was used during development to generate and edit some pre-generated 2D pixel-art visual assets, including UI elements, icons, backgrounds, environment artwork, and character or animation source frames. All outputs were reviewed, selected, manually edited, cleaned up, resized, palette-normalized, and integrated by the developer as fixed game assets. The game does not use generative AI at runtime and does not generate live AI content.
Spring Tales uses generative AI in the following way:
Some of the game's 2D pixel-art assets — including certain characters, enemies, equipment and item icons, environment tiles, and user-interface elements — were created with the help of an AI-assisted art generation tool. Every AI-assisted asset was reviewed, edited, curated, and integrated by the developer to match the game's art style and quality standards.
No generative AI runs live during gameplay. The game does not generate any content in real time while you play — all art, text, and content shipped in the game is fixed and was produced during development.
Generative AI is used to assist in the creation of character illustrations, icons, backgrounds, and other 2D artwork. All AI-generated assets are reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer to ensure they fit the game's content and quality standards.
Text in languages other than Japanese is translated using generative AI, then reviewed by the developer before being included in the game.
Artificial intelligence has been used solely to generate certain 2D icons used in the game's menus, such as icons for weapon upgrades, artifacts, and similar elements.
AI has not been used under any circumstances to generate 3D models, user interfaces, in-game menus, weapons, enemies, environments, animations, VFX, or any other playable content or assets.
The use of AI is strictly limited to specific 2D icons of a visual and informational nature within the interface.
We use about 15 seconds of AI footage in our trailer. All assets in the game are human authored.
We also use a local, small and offline LLM (meaning: no data ever leaves your computer, and it does not cause significant performance drops) as a Director that controls: enemy spawn and frequency of challenges, essentially choosing when to press with difficulty and when to hold the challenge based on parameters such as player frustration, boredom and an emergence metric.
This mechanic does not generate any text, narrative or story: it is just a mechanic that controls game balance to ensure the best challenge. And you can turn it off on the settings menu, if you want.
Localization into some supported languages was created with a mix of Community members and machine generation and reviewed by the developer.
The developer is actively seeking to replace any machine-generated localization over time.
Some 2D visual assets were created with assistance from generative AI, then manually edited and polished by the developer. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with prototyping and writing portions of the game's code and Blueprint logic. AI-generated images were also used as source material for some Niagara visual effects. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, modified, and integrated by the development team.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming and to create some pre-generated visual assets, including icons, illustrations, and sprite artwork. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, selected, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Veil of Time is a hand-built game. The maps, the writing, the music, the interface, and the game design are all human work. Generative AI was used in five specific places, each reviewed and finished by hand:
1. Voice acting. Every line of dialogue and every in-game book can be spoken aloud (3,707 voice clips), synthesized with ElevenLabs from the game's own written script. We chose this so the story stays open to players with low vision or reading difficulties, and to younger players who are not fast readers yet. A voice cast of this size would otherwise be out of reach for a small studio. No performance was cloned from a real person without licence.
2. Character and bestiary portraits, generated from the game's original hand-made sprites and finished by hand.
3. Some character sprites and the party's battle animation sheets, produced with AI assistance from the project's own hand-drawn art, then hand-corrected and palette-locked.
4. The intro and outro cinematic stills, the title screen, and the store key art.
5. Ambient critters and butterflies, converted from hand-made source art.
Everything else you see, read, and hear was made by people.
This game uses generative AI during development to create some of the visual assets included in the game. AI-generated assets are reviewed and edited as needed before being incorporated into the final game. The game does not use generative AI to create content dynamically during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating pre-generated artwork, animation, audio, dialogue, and localization. All content was reviewed and edited by the developer. No AI is used at runtime.
OpenAI image generation was used to create a pre-generated background image used in some of the game's Steam store capsule artwork and screenshots. The image is fixed and was reviewed by the developer. No content is generated using AI during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine the game’s visual artwork, music, and programming code. All generated material was reviewed, curated, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay, and no player input or data is sent to generative AI services.
Generative AI was used to create certain promotional artwork for the Steam store page, including capsule images and the community icon. These assets were reviewed and edited by the developer. The game itself does not contain AI-generated artwork, audio, narrative, localization, or live-generated AI content.
I’m an indie game developer and have tried making games for years. Generative AI has been used as part of my development process, including helping with code, visual and sound assets. It is not a simple one-shot process, but effort has been put in over multiple generations to control and curate the art style.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) was used to create some audio and visual assets, portions of the game code, Steam store page copy, and localized content. No AI-generated content is created in real time during gameplay.
The visual art in Palimpsest Idle (character, enemy, weapon, equipment, icon and background art) was created during development using AI image generation tools, then curated, processed and hand-assembled by the developer. The game's two music tracks were produced during development using an AI music composition service under a licence granting full ownership of the resulting compositions. Sound effects are royalty-free library recordings and are not AI-generated. No content is generated while the game is running - all assets ship as fixed files, and the game makes no network requests during play.
All artwork, sprites, terrain, animations and audio are procedurally generated by our own deterministic tools or licensed/purchased from human-made sources. No generative AI images or audio are used. AI assistance was used for drafting and prototyping, all of which is reviewed and further iterated by a human. No AI models run while the game is played.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of game content. All generated products are carefully reviewed, edited, and assembled by the development team.
Generative AI has been used as a supplementary tool in the creation of some art assets and UI elements included in this game. AI has also been used to assist with some text creation and localization.
AI-generated or AI-assisted content is reviewed by the developer and edited or adjusted by hand as needed. Generative AI is used only as a tool to support the development process, while careful attention is given to the overall quality, consistency, and atmosphere of the game.
Pocket Adventurer is a solo-developed game that uses AI tools as part of its production pipeline. Character and monster artwork is originally hand-drawn, then processed with AI animation tools and converted into animated sprite sheets for use in the game. Code was written with AI coding assistance under direct human design, testing, and review. All content is pre-rendered; the game contains no live AI generation.
Some AI generation for promotional imagery
I cannot draw and I have no experience with graphics either, which is why I turned to AI for the images in the game: the creatures, items, zones and the class portraits. I picked, edited and placed every single one of them myself, and plenty were thrown out again before the rest fit together.
Generative AI was used during development to create or refine pre-generated visual assets, music and audio, and localization drafts included in the game and its marketing materials. All such content was reviewed and curated by the developer before release. The game does not generate AI content during play and does not send player data to external AI services.
Note: Developed entirely solo, this project utilizes modern auxiliary tools for code optimization and localization. If you encounter any bugs, please feel free to reach out to help improve the game experience!
Generative AI tools were used during development to create selected pre-generated content, including character and environment artwork, some user interface artwork, music, some voice-over audio, and localization. The visual assets were subsequently edited and customized by the developer. All AI-assisted content is selected, reviewed, and integrated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating and refining select 2D artwork, icons, and marketing materials, as well as game and marketing copy localization. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game. Soulstonia does not use generative AI to create content live during gameplay.
We may use AI-based tools during development to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final game mirrors our dev team's creativity and expression.

All generated outputs were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
Some 2D art assets in this game — a portion of the character portraits, unit sprites, and city illustration backgrounds — were created with the assistance of AI image-generation tools (Google Gemini) during development. All such assets are pre-generated, then reviewed and curated by the developer before being included in the build; the game does not generate any AI content live at runtime. Game text, design, code, and systems are authored by the developer without live AI generation.
The current build's interface, icons, unit and terrain graphics are AI-generated placeholder art. The map's underlying terrain layout was AI-generated; the map's painted artwork is hand-made in Inkarnate using licensed Inkarnate assets, and this map artwork also appears in the store's capsule images and screenshots. Interface text was AI-written and reviewed by the developer. The game contains no AI-generated music, audio, dialogue or narrative content, and no AI-generated content is created at runtime.
