Diplomacy, or Else! was built with AI-assisted development. Generative AI was used, under the developer's direction and review, for game code and for writing text: interface strings, the in-game diplomacy word tables, achievement names and descriptions, and this store page, including their German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Ukrainian translations. The soundtrack was produced with an AI music tool and edited by the developer. Artwork, icons, the trailer and sound effects were made without generative AI. The game does not generate content during play and does not connect to any AI service.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and revise pre-generated illustrations, narrative text, localization and promotional artwork. Content is prepared before play; the game does not generate AI content at runtime or connect to an external AI service during play.
This game uses generative AI-assisted content in some pre-rendered assets, such as visual effects, UI elements, background or promotional artwork, marketing/community materials, and localization. No live generative AI system is used during gameplay, and the game does not generate new player-facing content dynamically while the player is playing.
I've used AI for a lot of things in this project. The code, 3D models, textures, 3D animations, music and more. I know a lot of people don't anything to do with AI so I want to be up front. This is a small pet project, I'm able to create a lot more of my vision than I could without AI. I do not dismiss the reasons people have for rejecting AI.
Visual assets and translations were created with the assistance of generative AI tools.
All assets and translations were reviewed, edited, and incorporated by the developer to align with the game’s established art direction.
Shiny Gen ships over thirty original games and scenes. Their art, animation frames, music and sound effects were produced with the same AI generation tools the product offers to players, using the third party services listed in our Live-Generated answer. All of it was directed, reviewed and assembled by us before it shipped, and the game code itself is authored and hand edited by our team. No pre generated content in the shipping build is produced from a player's input, and none of it is generated at runtime from our side.
Shiny Gen is a game creation tool, so live generation is the product rather than a feature of it. When a player asks for something, we call third party AI services to generate game code, images, animation frames, music, sound effects and 3D models from the text they type. Generation always happens at the player's explicit request, never in the background, and always requires a free Shiny Gen account and an internet connection.
Every request goes to an established commercial AI provider: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI, Runware, Retro Diffusion, Replicate and ElevenLabs. Each request is governed by that provider's usage policy and runs under the provider's own built-in safety systems at their default settings. We never disable, weaken or opt out of a provider's safety system anywhere in our product. OpenAI image generation runs under OpenAI's default moderation, and Google image generation carries Google's SynthID provenance watermarking.
Guardrails on our side:
- Our Community Rules, which are binding under our Terms of Service and published on our website, set out what may not be generated or shared. They prohibit, among other things, any sexual content involving a minor and sexual imagery of a real person without their consent, and they treat a prompt asking for prohibited content as a breach whether or not the model produces it.
- Generation requires a signed in Shiny Gen account. There is no anonymous generation, so every request is attributable to an account.
- Generation is rate limited per account and per address, and it is metered against a paid credit balance, so volume abuse is bounded rather than free.
- The prompt and the resulting asset are retained against the account that made them, which is what lets us act on a report.
- Anyone can report content to support@shinygen.ai. A person on our team reviews each report and can remove the content and close the account responsible.
- The in app feed cannot receive player made content. It is served from our own catalogue and is enforced in code: the publish endpoint refuses any caller that is not our own account. Nothing a player generates can appear in another player's feed.
- Multiplayer contains no free text channel of any kind. Communication is a closed set of eight fixed emotes, so there is no user to user text surface to moderate.
- Player made games are never separate programs. They run as interpreted scripts inside our own sandbox, which is an allowlist: it has no filesystem, network, process or operating system access, and no reflection or dynamic dispatch. A generated game cannot execute native code, start a process, reach the network or read the player's files.
We do not permit and do not support the generation of Adult Only sexual content, and we will act on reports received through Steam's in game reporting system and at support@shinygen.ai.
Some environment prop artwork was created with an image-generation model from written briefs, then hand-reviewed, cropped and integrated. Sprites, tilesets, audio, UI, achievement icons and all code are authored procedurally or by hand. No AI-generated text, narrative or live-generated content.
Hexcavate uses AI-assisted tools in parts of its development: some UI icons and Images were made with AI image generation. All of it was reviewed and edited by the developer. 2D art, level design, game design and codes are human made or licensed. No content is generated by AI while the game runs.
Some of the game's assets were created with generative AI tools during development and are pre-generated: card illustrations, character portraits and UI artwork (image generation), several 3D character models (Meshy), sound effects, music and the narrated story panels (ElevenLabs). Parts of the code were written with AI coding assistants. All of this content was reviewed and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate any content while you play.
During the development of this game, generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some 2D art assets and pre-generated sound effects. All AI-assisted content underwent manual review, modification, and integration by the developers. No content will be generated by generative AI during gameplay.
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.
Pie Paw includes pre-generated, AI-assisted artwork used in the game and on the Steam store page. All such content is created before release, then reviewed, selected, and edited by the development team. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.

Shadow Rulers: World Order uses generative AI tools during development to help create certain visual assets, including faction icons for the game's Ruling Families, background and UI elements, and some in-game and promotional artwork. All AI-generated content is reviewed and curated by the developer before being included in the game. No content is generated live during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI service during play.
Some auxiliary art assets (the overworld map background) used AI tools for concept assistance in the early stage of creation. The developer then conducted extensive manual secondary design and reconstruction, including hand-drawn routes, level node layout, color unification, and UI interaction design.
The core gameplay, unit system, combat numerical balance, battle log system, and all strategic logic are purely hand-designed by the developer and do not use AI generation. This is a solo-developed strategy game; AI was only used to improve the efficiency of specific art assets. Thank you for your understanding
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.
Some of Tessera's assets - including monster and character artwork, background art, gem and tile art, certain UI icons, and some audio - were created with the assistance of generative AI tools (Google Gemini) during development.
