Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, proofreading, and improving the clarity of English-language text. All player-facing text was reviewed and finalized by the developer.
Generative AI was not used to create the game’s artwork, music, sound effects, or voice acting. All artwork featured in the game and its store materials was created by human artists Iida Kiela and Paul Laane. The game design, rules, and card mechanics were also created by human designers. The game does not generate any content using AI during gameplay.
All visual assets, audio, text, and promotional materials in this game were created using generative AI tools. The developer selected, edited, refined, and integrated the generated content into the final game. The game does not use generative AI to generate content in real time during gameplay.
AI was used as a supporting tool during the development of this game. However, the original game idea and its underlying concept were created several years ago and were developed entirely independently of AI.
The entire project is being created by a solo developer with a university degree in Game Design. Over the years, several hundred hours of work, experience, creativity, and personal passion have gone into the concept, development, and realization of the game.
AI was used to assist with certain parts of the development process. This includes support with coding as well as some aspects of soundtrack and visual asset creation. Many of the visual assets were subsequently edited, refined, adapted, or partially recreated manually using image editing software to achieve the intended style and quality.
AI was also used as a supporting tool for written content, primarily to make minor improvements to texts written by the developer and to correct grammar and wording.
AI therefore serves as an additional tool within the development process. The original game concept, game design, creative decisions, final direction, and implementation of the game remain the work of the developer. Various sounds and some of the soundtracks used in the game were also created and composed by the developer.
Pre-generated AI tools were used to create selected voice-over performances and selected promotional artwork. All AI-assisted materials are reviewed, edited, and finalized by the development team before use. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Some pre-made content was created with the help of generative AI tools and then edited by our team: parts of the key art and logo, some 3D models, some UI/ability icons, and some character voice lines. AI coding assistants were also used during development. Gameplay design and level design were done by the developers. The game does not generate any AI content live during gameplay.
※ AI was used as a supplementary tool for English translation, spell checking, and programming code writing in this game. Illustrations, pixel art, Live2D, music, and voice acting were created entirely by humans.
Generative AI tools were used in the development of this game solely to assist with writing and editing text: in-game interface strings and descriptions, their localization into all supported languages, and the text of the game's Steam store page. Every such text was reviewed and edited by a human before publication.
The game contains no AI-generated art, audio, music or gameplay content. All artwork was drawn by hand and all sound effects come from licensed libraries. No generative AI runs in the game at runtime.
As a small indie team, we use generative AI to assist with coding and parts of our art workflow. All AI-assisted code is manually tested by our team before being included in the game. Our artists create the original concepts and visual direction, while AI is used as a supporting tool during the art process. All final artwork is manually refined and finished by our artists.
Some 2D artwork used in the game and on the store page was created with generative image tools and then selected, edited, composited, and integrated by the developer. This includes selected backgrounds, character or enemy illustrations, card-related artwork, logos, and promotional assets. The game does not generate new content from player input at runtime, and no generative AI system is used for gameplay decisions or player interactions.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with creating and editing some of the written content in the game and on its Steam store page. All AI-assisted text was reviewed, revised, and approved by the developer before publication. The game does not generate content using AI during gameplay.
Hold My Cargo is made by a three-person team at Favera Studio. Like many small studios, we use AI-assisted tools as part of our production pipeline — for exploring concepts and marketing artwork, speeding up parts of 3D asset, animation and texture work, drafting text and running automated testing. Every asset, animation and line of text that ships in the game is directed, reviewed, edited and approved by the team; nothing goes in unseen. The game does not generate any content at runtime — there is no live AI in Hold My Cargo, and no player data is sent to AI services.
Portions of this game's code and dialogue were written with the assistance of AI tools and then reviewed and edited by the developer. All art, 3D models, music and sound effects are human-made assets (Quaternius, Kay Lousberg, Kenney, omfgdude and SubspaceAudio, all CC0). Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Generative AI was used to create the background artwork in the Steam store and library images, and the Drift Quest logo, which also appears in the game. AI tools were also used during development: AI coding assistants helped write the game's code, the store description was written with AI assistance, and the game and store texts were translated into 29 languages and reviewed with AI. AI also helped write some of the game's English text, such as quest, item and spell names. The in-game interface and icon art comes from licensed asset packs, and the music is licensed from Phat Phrog Studios. No content is generated by AI while you play.
We use generative AI tools during development to create some concept art and supporting images, as well as certain materials for the store page. All in-game content, including final assets, models, and text, is created and reviewed by hand.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating a limited number of pre-generated visual assets and localization text used in the game and its store materials. As an independent developer working with a limited production budget, I used these tools where commissioning additional original artwork was not financially feasible. All AI-assisted content was carefully selected, reviewed, and edited by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Some artwork for the game or its store materials includes minor AI-assisted edits. This content is pre-generated. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Some sprites, event card illustrations, background music and sound effects were created with locally-run generative AI models (Stable Diffusion XL, ACE-Step, Stable Audio Open) and then edited by the developer. No generative AI is used while the game is running.
An AI assistant (Claude) was used during development. It wrote the in-game text translations, the store page text, and the scripts that build many of the game's 3D models, animations and textures, all under the developer's direction and review. Nothing is generated by AI while you play. All sounds are real recordings from CC0 libraries.
A small language model (Google's Gemma 3 270M) runs entirely on the player's computer, with no network connection. It writes short lines of villager small talk, the ritual oracle's one- or two-sentence hint after a failed ritual, and routine filler records in the in-game archive, and it chooses which of our pre-written dialogue lines fits the moment.
Guardrails: the player never types to the model — there is no text input anywhere in the game. Every prompt is a fixed template we wrote, filled in from game state such as a character's name, the time of day and the current quest. Output is short by construction (hard token caps, and lines over a few words are cut or discarded); lines that read as narration, stage directions or an assistant speaking are rejected; dialogue choices are constrained to our own authored lines. Any failure falls back to written lines. Players can turn the model off in Settings, and the game plays identically on written lines alone.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating select background visuals, sound effects, music tracks, and promotional graphics.
Generative AI was used during development to create select environmental artwork, including some fictional posters and signage appearing within the game. These assets were reviewed and curated by the developers before inclusion in the final game.
Generative AI was used to assist in drafting store-page descriptions and promotional text. The game does not generate content using generative AI during gameplay.
AI tools assisted the creation or processing of some backgrounds, title illustrations, upgrade-card artwork and localized text during development. These assets are prepared in advance. The game does not call generative AI services at runtime.
Pre-generated AI artwork and audio were used during development. The developer selected and edited these assets for the game and its marketing materials. No content is generated by AI during gameplay, and the game does not connect to an external AI service.
Generative AI was used during development to create some promotional artwork, including Steam store capsule images and logo variations. Generative AI is not used during gameplay, and no AI-generated content is created in real time.
Illustrations and store art were created with Google Nano Banana 2 AI image generation, then selected, edited and assembled by the developer. Background music was created with Stable Audio 2.5. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
This game has been made by a solo developper with the help of AI. Gamers deserve dozens of hours of fun at a cheap price, that's what the use of AI should aim for, and that's what this game is about. Zero information collected.
