Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Some visual assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. These assets were subsequently reviewed, edited, and refined by the development team before being included in the final game.
No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
Generative AI was used as a development aid to create and modify program code, produce some visual assets, and draft localized text. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and adjusted by the developer. No AI content is generated while the game is running.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating some UI graphics, equipment graphic assets, and music, as well as to assist with programming. All generated content was reviewed and edited as needed by the developer. No live-generated AI content is used while the game is running.
We use AI tools during development to help write and debug code, and to help produce some art assets. Everything AI-assisted is made during development and reviewed by us before it ships.
We also use third-party assets bought from the Unity Asset Store. These are sold to us as human-made, and we have no reason to doubt that, but we cannot independently verify how each one was produced. Character animation uses Mixamo.
AI was used for some store Art, random game Events, as well as assistance when coding. All artwork in game was created by artist, and all AI artwork in the store we plan to replace. Some to Half of the AI Random events will stay. We will continue to use AI to speed up development, but are also striving for the best quality on release.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating selected pre-generated 3D assets and visual artwork used in the game. 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 of the game's 2D artwork, including character, enemy and boss sprites, item icons, and backgrounds, was created using generative AI tools. All such assets were individually reviewed, selected, polished and integrated by the development team.
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.
Generative AI was used as a development aid for some pre-generated marketing artwork, concept artwork, localization drafts, and selected visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
PROCEDURE ZERO is made by one person.
Pre-generated AI tools were used for character voices, sound effects, the
opening scene, and translations into languages other than Polish. Every
line of it was chosen, edited and placed in the game by hand. The game
does not generate any content while you play.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating some pre-rendered artwork, including environment backgrounds, menu and branding art, icons, and promotional/title-card images. These assets were reviewed and integrated by the developer. No content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Save Point has been in continuous development since 2021 and is, to our knowledge, the world’s first purpose-built AI-native interactive cinematic engine. The Needle uses this technology to deliver a continuously responsive cinematic experience that goes far beyond conventional branching video. AI-assisted production tools helped create portions of the game’s pre-rendered audiovisual content, with every shipped asset human-directed, reviewed, edited, and integrated. The game also offers locally processed voice controls, alongside keyboard and gamepad support. No unreviewed audiovisual content is generated and delivered to players during gameplay. The project represents tens of thousands of hours of human design, engineering, direction, editing, and testing, with AI serving as the enabling technology behind an experience an independent studio could not otherwise produce at any cost, much less a reasonable one. We didn't use AI to save money, we used it because without AI there wasn't enough money in the world to build a game like this.
Generative AI has been used during the early stages of development to create temporary placeholder content, primarily to support production and prototyping. This content is intended to be temporary and is planned to be replaced with final assets specifically created for the game as development progresses.
During development, this game used generative AI to assist in creating certain visual assets and text content. All final content has been reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer; the game does not include any functionality that dynamically generates content with AI during gameplay.
Generative AI tools are used to assist with porting the game text into additional languages. All AI-assisted translations are reviewed and edited by the developer before release. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Some of the game's content was created with the assistance of generative AI tools and was then reviewed, edited and curated by the developer. This includes portions of the art assets, some audio content, and the translation of interface and subtitle text into languages other than Turkish and English. No content is generated by AI at runtime.
- Audio: background music is generated with AI music tools.
- Translation: in-game and store text is translated using AI.
- Code: the game's code, including the code that draws every visual at runtime,
was written with the help of an AI coding assistant.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating some visual assets. These assets were manually reviewed, edited, and finalized before being included in the game. AI tools were also used as a programming assistant during development. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay.
Some pre-generated 2D artwork used in the game and in Steam store and marketing materials was created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted assets were selected, reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team before inclusion. No content is generated by AI during gameplay, and the game does not connect to live generative AI services.
The vast majority of assets are created by me or commercially licensed. I have used AI-generated assets for a few buildings and UI elements as a base end then modified heavily in Photoshop. I am a solo developer and know it’s a controversial topic, but I hope the 1000+ hours I have spent in Photoshop shines through, but I still want to be honest.
We used generative AI to assist with translating Galacto's in-game text into its supported languages. All game design, artwork, sound and music were created by hand without generative AI
This game generates content with AI, entirely on your machine: an embedded, frozen local model writes and illustrates the "Book" of each run (texts and fictional game covers). No internet connection is required, no data is collected, and nothing is generated by external services. The game's translations were AI-assisted, then human-reviewed.
Generative AI was used selectively during
development, always under direct human
authorship and review:
• Code — An AI coding assistant supported
development as a productivity tool; all systems
were designed, reviewed, and tested by the
developer.
• Key art — The Steam key art was created with
generative AI, then curated and hand-finished by
the developer. All in-game tilesets and
character art are licensed, human-made asset
packs.
• Music — Background music tracks were produced
with the assistance of generative AI tools, then
selected, edited, and mixed by the developer.
The game contains no live-generated AI content:
nothing is generated by AI at runtime.
Some visual assets in the game were originally created and edited manually using image editing software, and were later refined with generative AI tools. AI was used only as part of the visual refinement process. Final assets were reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.
Generative AI tools were used during the development of Cargo Industry as programming assistance tools. They were used to assist with code generation, code modification, debugging, and exploring programming solutions. AI-generated code is included in the game's released codebase.
Generative AI tools are used during development to assist with selected art production and localization. All AI-assisted outputs are reviewed, edited, and approved by the development team before being integrated into the game.
