Shadow Runner uses AI image-generation tools to create a portion of the game's 2D visual art. AI was used as a starting point for:
• Store assets — capsule, header, and marketing images.
• In-game illustrations — chapter cutscene art and non-interactive background/scene imagery.
• Achievement icons.
All AI-generated images were produced with commercial text-to-image models (Midjourney / Stable Diffusion / DALL·E), then reviewed, edited, composited, and color-corrected by the developer before shipping. Pixel-art sprites, all gameplay elements, UI, visual effects, audio, and code are hand-authored and not AI-generated. Audio is procedural (Web Audio), not AI.
The game contains no live/runtime AI: nothing is generated on the player's machine during play, and no player data is sent to any AI service.
The developer has confirmed the generated images do not depict real, identifiable people or third-party IP, and holds commercial-use rights under each tool's license.

Currently, the game uses around 10% conceptual/placeholder AI-generated textures. All of these placeholders will be completely replaced prior to the 1.0 full release.
The following are temporary AI placeholder textures:
- Most UI buttons
- Vehicle textures
- The home screen
- The mouse cursor
- Most of the shop scene
- All bridges
The following are NOT AI textures (100% custom-made):
- All enemy models and textures (minus the boss "evil reforged bot mk9001")
- All item icons and textures
- All levels (except for the underground bunker and frozen ridge, which temporarily share the home screen texture)
Some parts of the game were created with the help of generative AI tools. The music was made using Suno, and a few pieces of text were assisted by AI during development. Everything included in the game has been reviewed and approved by me before shipping.
'm a solo developer making this game with a very limited budget. While I was able to hire artists for some of the game's assets, I simply couldn't afford to commission every piece of content needed to complete the project.
Because of that, I used generative AI as a supplementary tool for certain assets and to assist with English translation. Since English isn't my native language, AI also helped me ensure that dialogue, jokes, and other text conveyed the intended meaning naturally.
Whenever possible, I chose to work with human artists, and all AI-generated content was carefully reviewed, edited, and integrated by me. My goal was never to replace artists, but to make it possible to finish the game as an independent developer.
Generative AI was used in a limited capacity for pre-generated visual assets and localization assistance during development. Temporary AI-generated artwork will be replaced with original artwork before the full release.
Some promotional key art (store capsule illustrations and website artwork) was created with generative AI tools and then curated and edited by the developer. All in-game content - graphics (procedural vector rendering), gameplay, text, and audio - is hand-authored. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime and does not connect to any AI service.
Since the game is still in active development, generative AI tools were used to create most of the artwork and text included in the game and on the store page. All generated content was carefully reviewed, heavily edited, and integrated by the developers.
