The game does not use live generative AI during gameplay. No text, images, music, dialogue or narrative decisions are generated by AI while the player is playing.
Generative AI was not used to create any in-game content resources. AI was utilized solely for the translation of certain in-game dialogue and external content, such as our Steam page and community posts.
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.
Certain visual assets in the game are created with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence tools. These assets are reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developers to ensure they meet quality standards and remain consistent with the overall artistic direction of the game.
Pre-generated generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating and editing some 2D visual assets, including backgrounds, character images, scene variations, and promotional artwork. AI tools were also used to assist with drafting, editing, and localization of some text. All final content was selected, reviewed, and edited by the developer before inclusion. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and players cannot generate content in the game.
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 AI-generated artwork for many character portraits and illustrations, as well as some store page assets (capsule images, logo) and trailer visuals. Core gameplay, game design, systems, and programming were created by the developer without AI assistance.
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.
Code: I'm a solo developer and I use AI coding agents. The architecture, game design, systems, and direction are mine; the agents write code to my spec, under my review. That includes the UI, which agents build from my own designs and styles.
3D art: Made by a professional artist. No AI.
Music and SFX: Currently placeholders, licensed from Ocular Sounds, who state their sounds are crafted from original source recordings by their in-house sound design team. To be replaced with commissioned work.
Writing: Written by me. AI agents help me edit and apply corrections; I approve every word that ships. A professional writer will be brought on as development continues.
Illustrations: Not in the game yet. They will be commissioned from professional artists.
