This game uses generative AI as part of its asset production workflow. AI tools were used to help create and iterate on certain visual materials, including pixel-art characters, enemies, effects, music, and promotional images. These outputs were reviewed, selected, and integrated by the developer to match the game’s intended style and experience.
Generative AI is not used to produce personalized content from player input during gameplay, and the game does not rely on AI-generated responses or live AI systems while running.
Generative AI was used as a production tool to help create and refine some static visual assets, including illustrations, backgrounds, CG images, promotional artwork, and Steam library images. It was also used to assist with translation drafts. All final assets and text were reviewed and edited manually before being included in the game.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some background art elements and early drafts of certain dialogue. All generated content was substantially modified, edited, and integrated into the final game by the developer.
OFS is made by a solo developer using a hybrid, human-led production pipeline.
Some of the game's content was produced with the help of several generative AI tools — for instance to assist with certain complex 3D meshes, textures, and visual elements. These tools are used for one purpose only: to augment and accelerate human creativity, never to replace it.
Every artistic direction, every gameplay decision, and every final creative call is made by a human. All AI-assisted assets — meshes, textures, visuals, objects and anything else — are hand-reviewed, edited, and finalized by a human before they ever make it into the game.
As a solo developer, this hybrid approach simply unlocks far more creative possibilities than would otherwise be feasible without a full team — while keeping full human authorship over the final result.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some pre-generated visual assets, audio, written content, and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not generate content during gameplay.
Some visual assets and artwork used in this game were created or assisted with generative AI tools. All generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated into the game by the developer.
This game uses generative AI for some visual assets.
All such assets are reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer before use.
Generative AI is not used for gameplay or game progression.
Codex, powered by ChatGPT, was used as a coding assistant during development.
I’m a software engineer with 25 years of programming experience. I used Codex to help with technical implementation while I focused on the game’s design, systems, balance, and overall feel. It made it possible to build Mindscape in my spare time and release it for free.
One man team here. AI helped me learn to code and I also used it to help generate some of the artwork and voices. All of the artwork generated by AI has been carefully polished and modified.
This game uses curated, pre-generated AI-assisted artwork and audio. These assets are created before release, then reviewed, edited, processed, and integrated by the developer as fixed in-game images, ambience, and related store or marketing materials.
Hammered Heroes is a solo-developed game, with all design, direction, and gameplay built by one developer. Some 2D art assets (such as sprites and capsule art) were created with the help of generative AI image tools, then edited and assembled by the developer.
This game uses generative AI tools for some pre-recorded NPC voice-over audio. Other voice-over audio was recorded in-house by human performers. All voice lines are fixed, reviewed by the developer, and included in the game build. The game does not use AI to generate content during gameplay. All other game content, including gameplay systems, environments, UI, writing, and store assets, is original and created by the development team.
Generative AI may be used for certain promotional materials and future story-related visual content. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or store page.
During development, some of the game's art assets (including icons, UI elements, scene backgrounds, and character visuals) were created with the help of AI image-generation tools, then curated, adjusted, and integrated by hand. The game does not generate any AI content in real time during play.
The Living Atlas uses procedural generation algorithms to create unique fantasy worlds, including terrain, biomes, river systems, and civilization simulation. These systems were developed with the assistance of large language models (LLMs) used during development for code generation and design. The store page copy and marketing assets were also created with LLM assistance. No AI-generated content is produced during gameplay — all in-game content is generated by deterministic procedural algorithms seeded by player input.
Keep Drawing was developed by HuDoes Interactive with AI-assisted tools used as part of our workflow — not as a fully automated production pipeline.
Some in-game visuals and UI elements were created or refined with generative AI during development. All such assets were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before release. Store and marketing graphics (including Steam capsule artwork) were also created with AI assistance and then manually adjusted for quality and consistency.
AI-assisted coding tools were used to help write and refactor parts of the game's source code. The design, game systems, balance, and final implementation remain developer-directed.
This game used generative AI tools as an aid in creating some of its visual assets, such as background illustrations and character/environment pixel art. All AI-generated output was reviewed, refined, and edited by the developer before being included in the game. No content is generated by AI in real time during gameplay.
Cat & Fox Studios used generative AI image tools (Pollinations FLUX) to create the store-page art assets for this game, including:
the Main Capsule, Library Hero, Library Logo, Vertical Capsule, Page Background, small/header capsules, and the character illustrations of Mora the cat shown on the store page and in gallery posts.
These AI-generated assets are used for marketing imagery and Steam store presentation only. The original music in the game was composed by Dr. Jenna Fox of Cat & Fox Studios.
The game itself does not call any AI service during gameplay — all play is fully deterministic.
We used Generative AI tools solely for localizing the store page descriptions, brainstorming promotional texts, and translating "About This Game" sections into multiple languages to make the game accessible to a wider audience. No AI-generated assets (such as art, code, or audio) are used within the game build itself.
This work incorporates the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the following areas: Parts of the artwork, parts of the sound, and localization.
This application uses AI tools in parts of its development process, including creating the in-character dialogue text and some artwork (such as character part images), as well as tuning behavioral algorithms. All AI-generated assets are produced and reviewed in advance and built into the product; no generative AI runs during gameplay.
The developer used generative AI tools during development to help create some of the game's code, sound effects, and music. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and curated by the developer.
Parts of Word Puzzle Master were created with the help of generative AI tools,
then reviewed, edited and assembled by the developer:
• visual art — the ambient background images and the animated background loop
• audio — background music and sound effects
Generative AI is used only during development to produce these assets. The game
does NOT use any AI at runtime — there is no live AI generation while you play.
Puzzle word lists are hand-curated, and level layouts are produced by our own
deterministic algorithm (not AI).
I used generative AI tools (specifically Fooocus) to help paint and generate my static 2D game backgrounds and concept/icon art. I also utilized AI-collaboration platforms to assist with audio synthesis composition and programming codebase layouts. All generated assets were fully curated, conceptualized, and processed under my own direct creative control and creative direction before building.
Cellula was developed with the assistance of generative AI tools. The developer used AI to help write C++ code, generate 3D organelle models from text descriptions, and create UI button artwork. No AI-generated content appears in the final game without human modification, curation, and integration.
This project is itself a demonstration of how AI can democratize game development — allowing a single developer with domain expertise but limited programming experience to build something that previously required a full studio.
All game design, biological accuracy, educational content, and creative direction were provided by a human physician and educator.
This game uses AI-assisted tools during development to help draft and iterate pre-generated content such as puzzle stage layouts, UI text, store text, and implementation support.
All game content is reviewed, edited, and finalized by the developer before release. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
This product uses generative AI for live text-based character dialogue, optional code or technical text generation, and AI-assisted pre-generated visual assets.
Players can interact with an AI desktop character through text chat. AI responses may be generated based on the character profile, the current conversation, limited memory, and optional screen-context summaries. When requested by the user, the AI may also generate programming explanations, code snippets, configuration examples, or technical suggestions.
AI conversation features require an internet connection. In the Steam version, players do not need to create, configure, or manage any third-party AI service accounts or API keys. Access to AI features is managed by the developer’s backend service and uses in-app AI Credits purchased through Steam Wallet.
The artwork used as the basis for the built-in character was created with assistance from ChatGPT and was subsequently manually edited, separated, and rigged by the developer as a Live2D model. Some promotional images, Steam library assets, background art, and key art were also created or refined with the assistance of generative AI tools during development.
The product does not generate images, audio, music, voice, textures, 3D models, or video at runtime. Generated code is not automatically executed, compiled, installed, or applied by the application. Any use of generated code is controlled by the user outside the application.
