Dust & Diamonds is a 100% solo project.
The idea for this game came to me a few days after my son was born — my first child. I was celebrating with my cousin and bet him I could build something like Motherload in two weeks. As you've probably guessed, I lost that bet spectacularly. I'm writing this almost a year later, and my son turns one in a few days.
I have a degree in computer game engineering, but I live in a small town with no game studios — so I drive a pallet jack around a warehouse by day and build this game after hours. I can't afford to hire an artist or a composer. To bring this world to life at all, I turned to generative AI tools. I'm not going to hide that.
How does the game use AI?
Graphics (2D): A significant portion of the visual assets — character portraits, environment elements, buildings — was generated using AI, then manually retouched, edited, and assembled by me in the engine into a cohesive style with a parallax system.
Music and sound: The musical tracks in the game were generated by AI. Fittingly, this ties directly into the game's lore — the "Relics of the Old World" (our 21st century) collected by the goblins are canonically works created by AI before the great cataclysm, carrying the lost wisdom of humanity.
What's mine in this game is the design: how the economy works, how water behaves in a flooded shaft, when a ceiling collapses, what the old man says across the counter. I came up with each of these systems, wrote them out, tested them, and reworked them a dozen times until they behaved the way I wanted.
I'm just a regular guy who had an idea for a game about digging in the dirt and was stubborn enough to see it through. Thank you for your understanding and support.
GreenMars: Expedition 744 is a solo-led independent project.
Generative AI tools are used occasionally as production support for certain pre-rendered content and communication materials. The artistic direction, original designs, and core creative decisions remain fully defined internally by human authors.
The game does not use generative AI during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used solely to assist in creating the logo and promotional art featured on this Steam store page. No generative AI was used in the creation of the game itself—all in-game assets, code, writing, and gameplay mechanics are 100% handcrafted by the development team.
AI generation tools were used in the creation of certain in-game assets including meshes and UI imagery. Promotional and marketing materials, including Steam capsule images and library assets, were also created using AI image generation tools. All gameplay systems and code were developed without the use of AI generation tools.
No AI was used to write the storyline or visual assets in the game. All of it is my own creative work. However, AI was used to assist in the creation of game artwork used for the store page and for helping craft and improve store descriptions.
AI tools were used during development as a programming aid and for early concept exploration. All gameplay systems were developed by the creator, and all in-game assets are original, commissioned, or licensed.
I am a single developer. AI is used to speed up some processes, some marketing and concept materials are made with AI as a base to improve on and deliver better game.
There are optional AI soundtracks in the game.
As a small, two-person independent development team, we utilized generative AI tools to create some of our character visuals and background artworks due to budget constraints. To ensure originality and maintain our artistic vision, these AI tools were guided by our own artist's original work, with their explicit permission. Please note that these AI-generated assets are currently serving as placeholders. As development continues and our resources grow, we plan to replace them with original, hand-drawn artwork in future updates. The game does not feature any live AI content generation during gameplay.
D.E.C.A.Y. has been developed by a single developer for over two years. Nearly all of the game’s content has been created by hand - from the environment to many objects inspired by real-world prototypes, helping make the world feel more atmospheric and alive.
Only a small number of images and certain visual elements were created using generative AI tools.
Our game includes the use of AI-assisted visual content.
Certain CG (cutscene) images in the game were generated with the assistance of AI tools, based on keyframes and visual direction created by our art team. These assets are pre-generated during development and are not created dynamically.
All AI-assisted content is limited to visual presentation only. It is optional, and does not affect gameplay systems, player interaction, progression, or game logic.
All core gameplay design, narrative structure, and interactive content are fully created and implemented by the development team.
AI was used as a productivity tool to assist in coding and drafting assets. All final content, including art and logic, has been extensively refined and reconstructed by human developers to ensure quality.
Some minor visual assets, such as icons and UI elements, were created or assisted using licensed AI tools during development.
All AI-assisted content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure consistency with the overall art direction and quality standards.
AI is not used in gameplay systems, code, or real-time content generation.
his game uses pre-generated AI tools to assist in the creation of some background music tracks and specific image assets, such as [background art / illustrations]. All AI-generated audio and visual contents were pre-generated during development, manually reviewed, and modified by the developer to ensure they fit the game's intended atmosphere. There is no live-generated AI content during gameplay.
Some of the images and in game models and sounds are created using AI to speed up the development process and allow focus on core gameplay elements.
All elements are reviewed by devs.
No AI is running or applied during gameplay.
Some images in the game use AI.
The Spanish - Latin America, Portuguese - Brazil, Portuguese - Portugal, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish - Spain, Korean, Italian, French, German versions was translated using AI.
We used AI to generate initial music tracks, concept art, and temporary translations into some languages.
All materials were then thoroughly edited, reworked, and finalized by humans.
Nothing went straight from the generator into the game.
Generative AI (LLM) was used to assist in translating in-game text.
Additionally, AI tools provided assistance in writing, optimizing, and debugging source code.
This game uses generative AI for its multi-language localization to provide immediate support for French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Korean. While we strive for accuracy, some linguistic nuances may vary.
As a micro independent team, we utilized AI tools to assist in creating minor graphical assets. This allowed our super limited resources to remain focused entirely on the core gameplay mechanics, coding, and storytelling that define the experience.
As we are a 2 person team, localizations are mostly generated with AI and vetted with the ongoing help of the community.
If you would like to help with vetting and fixing the translations, head over to the discussions page to find out how on the pinned topic.
This game contains content created with the assistance of generative AI during development.
Generative AI tools were used to help create and iterate on parts of the game code, sound effects, music, artwork, images, and multilingual translations. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, selected, and integrated by the developer.
The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.
Some graphical assets are generated using AI as templates. These are then proccesses manually in a custom made animation software or edited in image editing software.
The vast majority of this game's content is hand-drawn and manually crafted. Generative AI was utilized only as a supportive tool for certain concept designs and ambient sound effects. Every asset has undergone manual correction and thorough refinement to ensure it perfectly aligns with the game’s unique quirky-comic art style.
We use AI technologies in a limited capacity during development. AI-assisted tools are used for localization (translation into multiple languages) and for generating some visual assets, such as preview images. The core game content, gameplay design, and the majority of assets are created without the use of AI.
