Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with pre-generated assets:
- Visual Assets & 3D Models: Concept art, 2D UI elements/icons, and base 3D models and textures were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then manually and AI assisted cleaned, rigged, and optimized for the engine.
- Narrative & Writing: In-game lore, quest descriptions, and unit flavor text were drafted and refined with AI assistance.
All AI-assisted content is created prior to release and manually curated. There is no real-time or live AI content generation during gameplay.
Generative AI was used during development to create visual and 3D assets, background music, sound effects, and localized text, including store and marketing materials. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
During development, generative AI is used to explore visual concepts and create prototype. Also used on Translation. Textures, animations, and 3D models are created manually. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Nest Rivals uses pre-generated AI-assisted artwork in selected sprites, environment textures, bestiary illustrations and marketing images. Some music and sound effects, as well as parts of this Steam store description, were also created with AI assistance. These materials were selected and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
AstralX uses generative AI only for some 2D illustrative images, primarily certain biome visuals and depictions of some races/species. The game contains well over 1,000 such visual elements, which is why generative AI was used to assist with part of this 2D artwork.
Generative AI is not used for the game's simulation, mathematical calculations, gameplay rules, mechanics, or underlying systems. These elements were designed and developed manually by the developer. 3D content is also not generated using AI.
The music was composed manually and performed by a real pianist. The sound design was likewise created through traditional human production rather than generative AI.
No generative AI is used dynamically during gameplay.
Some game assets, such as ship and crew images, were created with the help of generative AI tools and subsequently reviewed and edited by the development team.
Generative AI tools were used throughout development: the game's code and its in-game text, the paintings, achievement icons and interface art, the 3D models, and the music and sound effects. Everything was reviewed, edited and tested, and ships as fixed content. Nothing is generated while you play: the game runs no model and makes no network call.
All previously used AI-generated or AI-assisted content has now been completely removed from both the full game and the demo. (That was old UI and intro).
**No AI-generated images are used in the game.**
**The only remaining use of AI in the game is for localization and translations.**
As the game generates revenue, I plan to hire professional translators for each supported language and gradually replace all AI-assisted translations with professionally translated versions.
I am a solo developer leveraging AI to improve my efficiency while moonlighting this project. Hence, many temporary AI-generated assets make their way into the game but I hope to replace over 90% of those with handcrafted assets over time.
Some of this game's content was created with generative AI and then reworked and adjusted by hand by the developer. This applies in particular to code, the 3D models and textures, and the music and sound effects. Animations, game rules, simulation, balance and the structure of the game come entirely from the developer.
Generative AI was used as a supporting tool during the development of ARUS-1. Some 3D models, textures, and in-game and store artwork were created with these tools, then revised and integrated. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
The store page images for Timberland — the key art, capsules, logo and icon — were created with generative AI tools and then edited by hand. The screenshots are real gameplay, unretouched.
Part of the code was also written with the help of an AI assistant. Game design, world generation, mechanics and the remaining textures are the developer's own work.
Deepworks was made with the help of AI tools. Some of the game's art and audio were generated with AI and then reviewed and edited by the developer, and AI assisted with writing code. Nothing in the game is generated by AI while you play.
I'm an indie dev with a day job. Using AI made building this game possible. I built this game for the fun of it and have no interest in paying thousands or even hundreds of dollars to artists for a little side hobby.
I (Sean) use AI coding assistants: GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. I've written software for years and I teach games programming at university, and I use AI tools the way I use a profiler or a compiler. They helped build web tools Dave and I use to balance the ecosystem across long simulations, they're very good at finding edge-case bugs (I'm looking at you, pathing system), and they write the boilerplate for things like save states and UI. I never ship code I haven't read and thoroughly tested.
No content in this game is AI-generated, and no generative AI runs while you play.
Every sound, art and music asset in this game was made by a human. The game started out as the idea of “Asset Safari” around the concept of buying sprite packs from artists, which is what we have done. The music, sound and writing is also all human generated.
AI is used for creating concept art, prototype textures, and quick mesh tests that are eventually replaced with real artist graphic designs and hand-tailored models.
Character portraits and environment artwork were generated using AI tools and reviewed, curated, and refined by the developer for final use. Narrator voice acting was generated using AI voice synthesis, directed and selected by the developer.
This game is currently in pre-alpha, and its visual assets are still evolving.
Generative AI has been used as part of the asset creation process to help achieve more detailed and varied visuals than a purely simplistic low-poly approach. AI-generated elements are extensively iterated, customized, and integrated specifically for this game under direct developer oversight.
The current assets should not be considered final. As development progresses, we plan to replace and improve them with better versions as the game's visual direction and production evolve.
Some visual assets and 3D assets used in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI. The generated assets were edited and adjusted by the developer as needed before being incorporated into the game. No content is generated by AI in real time during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to enhance and refine certain images which included improving resolution, clarity, colour. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

**Live-Generated AI Content**
The game does not use live-generated AI. It does not connect to any generative AI service or generate AI-assisted content while the game is running.
Generative AI was used strictly for the creation of marketing materials and store page capsule artwork. All in-game assets, including pixel art character sprites, environment tiles, animations, music, and source code, were 100% human-created.
NABERON uses generative AI tools in the creation of some of its assets.
3D models and textures were generated with Meshy, then reworked, retextured
and assembled by hand for the game. Music was generated with Suno, and part
of the sound effects with ElevenLabs. Some store page artwork, including the
logo, was created with AI image tools.
All generated content was reviewed, edited and approved by the developer
before it shipped. The game does not generate any content live while you
play — nothing is created at runtime.
Some pre-rendered content was created with generative AI tools and then manually reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer: art assets (store capsule artwork, character and environment sprites) and localized text (Japanese, Simplified Chinese, French, and Russian translations of the game's interface). All game design, code, and original Korean/English text were written by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime — there is no live or real-time AI generation.
