Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating and refining some of the visual assets used in the game. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the final game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
Industrial Empire Online began as a personal idea for a game I wanted to play with friends: a competitive business challenge where we could discover who has the strongest entrepreneurial instincts and who can build and manage the most efficient industrial company.
I created the game’s concept, economy, production chains, tender system, progression, balancing, and overall creative direction. As someone without a traditional game development background, I used generative AI tools to help turn this idea into a playable game.
AI-assisted tools were used during programming and prototyping, as well as to create and edit selected pre-generated illustrations of buildings and equipment, Steam capsule artwork, library assets, and other promotional visuals. Every mechanic and visual asset is reviewed, tested, adjusted, and selected by me before it is included in the game or published.
Industrial Empire Online does not generate AI content live during gameplay.
Generative AI assisted with programming. The game artwork, music, and sound effects were human made. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to an AI service.
AI tools assisted in the creation of some 3D models, images, and localized text. These assets are reviewed and refined by the developer to align with the game's visual style and quality standards, with final creative decisions remaining in human hands.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, writing in-game dialogue and descriptive text, translation into multiple languages, implementing graphics and sound effects, and creating promotional artwork and descriptions for the Steam store page.
These materials were created and incorporated during development. The game does not use generative AI to create new dialogue, images, or audio during gameplay. The autonomous behavior of residents and monsters, as well as their context-sensitive conversations, is driven by pre-programmed game logic and pre-written dialogue.
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.
Astro Inc currently uses some AI-assisted assets during development. As we get more support, we plan to replace more of these with human-authored assets.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating some pre-generated UI images, promotional artwork, and graphical assets. All AI-assisted assets are pre-generated and were reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or used on the Steam store page. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
The pixel art in Miners Cat Revolution: the cats, the icons and the store art was generated with AI and then edited and assembled by hand. The translations into the nine languages other than Spanish were AI-assisted and reviewed afterwards.
Everything else is human-made: the code, the game design, the balance and the original Spanish text are written by one person.
Nothing is generated while you play. All of it ships with the game, finished and fixed.
Generative AI was used as an assistive tool during development for selected visual assets and promotional materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before use. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI services.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some promotional artwork for the Steam store page, including capsule and library artwork. AI is not used to generate content during gameplay.
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.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some graphical and marketing assets for the game and its Steam store page. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and selected by the developer before being included in the final product.
The coding process used artificial intelligence, to allow the creator to focus on the creative aspects of game development. All art, story, mechanics, balancing, and creative direction is human-made.
The images currently used on the Steam store page, including the capsule art, were generated using AI. All of these images will be replaced with final, original artwork when the game demo is released.
No AI-generated assets are used in the game itself.
Some pre-rendered art assets (enemy and background artwork) and localization were created with generative AI tools under human direction, then manually cleaned up and integrated by the developers. Development used AI-assisted coding tools. No content is AI-generated at runtime.
Generative AI is utilized as support in the game's development, employed for concept creation, texture upscaling, and the design of icons and visual elements.
During the early stages of development, I used AI tools as a creative and technical aid, mainly to help with parts of the code and to create early drafts of some background artwork. These were only starting points in the development process. The materials were then reviewed, adapted, modified, and integrated as part of the game’s overall development.
AI tools were used during development as a programming and brainstorming assistant: the game's code were written with AI assistance under my direction and review, and I used AI to talk through design ideas. All art, audio, and text in the game itself are either hand-made, procedurally generated by the game's own code, or sourced from credited CC0 asset packs (big thanks to Kenney Vleugels).
