Pre-generated AI content: Generative AI tools were used extensively during development to create and assist with artwork, game assets, music, written content, and promotional materials. AI-assisted development tools were also used. All content in the final game was reviewed and curated by the development team. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
We used generative AI tools (such as Claude) during development to assist with creating certain in-game assets, textures, or text elements. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, selected, and integrated by human creators into the final game.
This game uses generative AI for some background images and landscape assets. All AI-generated materials are reviewed and edited by the developer before being used in the game. Generative AI is not used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services to generate content.
The ship and part artwork was generated with AI, then hand-edited and traced by me into the sprites and collision shapes the game actually uses.
Nothing generative runs while you play. There is no AI service wired into the build, and the game never calls one.
The music is licensed from real artists, and the sound effects come out of a script I wrote. Neither is AI.
I want to replace the AI art with work from real artists before Early Access ends. I am not going to promise a date for that, but it is what I am working toward.
Some of the artwork, audio, text, and program code in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content in real time during gameplay.
As an individual developer, during development of this game, AI tools were heavily used. I disclose this honestly and transparently.
1. In-Game Assets
Illustrations & Art: Unit portraits and the opening cinematic illustrations were generated using AI image models, then manually curated, retouched, and unified in style. All assets were human-reviewed under strict art direction to ensure historical tone and consistency.
Opening Cinematic: Subtle motion effects on the illustrations were produced with an AI image-to-video model and assembled by using the Remotion pipeline.
Background Music: The soundtrack was generated by an AI music model in multiple takes, then human-selected, mixed, and mastered.
Telegram Voice-overs: The historical telegram voice-overs in-game were synthesized by an AI TTS system. Each character's reference voice was human-approved through listening tests before use.
2. Development Assistance
Code: Game code was written and debugged with the aid of AI coding assistants. All code was human-reviewed and validated through automated testing.
Localization: The game supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English. The English text was AI-drafted and human-proofread.
3. What Is NOT AI-Generated
Historical Text: The telegrams in-game are taken from historical archives, 34 are verbatim transcriptions of the original documents, and 12 were written based on the sources. They were not AI-generated.
Terrain & Map: The battlefield map was procedurally rendered from real elevation data (SRTM), not generated by AI.
Game Balance & Statistics: Troop strength, Unit Introduction, and values were researched and set manually from historical sources, cross-checked for accuracy and play balance.
AI Disclosure
WinterCore is a solo-developed game created over four years. Generative AI was used during development to create a small number of visual assets and selected promotional artwork. All AI-generated assets were subsequently edited, refined, and adapted by the developer to fit WinterCore’s art direction and overall visual style.
The game’s core design, programming, story, gameplay, and final implementation were created by the developer. The project also includes licensed assets and creative works from independent artists and creators, who are credited accordingly.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of selected background images, illustrations, character assets, UI assets, rhythm game music, and background music. These are pre-generated assets included with the game. No generative AI is used to create content during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while being played.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some character illustrations, visual art assets, and portions of the game’s code. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team before being included in the final product. The game does not use generative AI to create content in real time during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to enhance and refine selected existing in-game artwork and music. These assets were not generated from scratch; AI was used only as part of the editing and improvement process. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed and approved by the developer. The game does not generate AI content at runtime.
Artificial intelligence was used as a development assistant to generate the game's source code, as well as to write and translate the interface text (localization).
AI helps us bring our creative ideas to life. In true indie fashion, we are two starving game developers—figuratively, and occasionally quite literally. It’s the only way for us to produce the art we need while saving our remaining coins for developing the game. If the budget grows, we’ll consider buying the better cheese from the local market.
Towards the end of development, we used modern tools to find bugs faster and further improve the player experience. Some graphics are still temporary and will be replaced with original artwork before the full release. These tools will continue to support testing, bug hunting, and technical optimization.
AI was used to create the full scores from chords and melody provided to create retro feel. All art and animations were drawn meticulously character by character using a personal editor I made, but I drew inspiration from generative AI to get the right feel or angles.
Visual Assets: As a solo developer, I use generative AI to create initial variations for scenery, textures, character sprites, and UI. No raw AI output ships in the game — every asset is hand-edited, composited, and cleaned up to match the game's aesthetic.
Music: The soundtrack and ambient music are created with AI audio tools, then curated and sequenced into a cohesive, atmospheric score.

The soundtrack of PERIHELIA was created with the assistance of generative AI music tools. All tracks were curated, edited and integrated by hand, and each ships with a hand-authored beatmap. All other content — art, code, visual effects — is authored directly and drawn procedurally, with no AI involvement.
Generative AI was used only to assist with drafting and translating written text for the Steam store page. No in-game artwork, audio, gameplay assets, or runtime content is generated by AI.
Ravens of War uses generative AI to create some of the artwork and illustrations used in the game, including card artwork. This content is pre-generated and included as part of the game; the game does not generate new AI content during gameplay.
Some 2D artwork was created with the assistance of AI image-generation tools (the mascot character portrait, generated with Recraft and then hand-edited; it appears in-game and in store artwork). All gameplay, code, design, text and audio are made by hand. The game does not use live/runtime AI generation.
During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.
Selected pre-generated visual and audio assets used in Tracked and its store materials were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. Every AI-assisted asset was selected, reviewed, and edited by the development team before use. No content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
