All in-game visual and audio assets are procedurally generated by code at runtime. The build contains no pre-rendered AI, painted, or recorded media files.
AI (Anthropic's Claude) was used during development only to help draft source code and in-game text, which was manually reviewed and edited. No AI services are accessed while running the game. The only third-party assets are two open-license fonts designed by human artists.
Generative AI was used during development to create and refine some pre-generated artwork, character animation source material, written content, localization, and marketing scenes. All such content was reviewed, selected, and fixed before release. The game does not generate content with AI during play and does not include AI chat.
The game will connect to an open-source local large language model that is already built into the game upon first launch, and use it during gameplay to generate NPC dialogues, host responses, and reasoning review feedback. Players may also choose to access compatible third‑party large language model APIs. The text generated at runtime is based on player questions and current story data.
Some store artwork and marketing materials were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. These are pre-generated static assets; no AI content is generated in real time during gameplay.
Pre-generated AI-assisted artwork is used for selected character portraits, property and location imagery, career and education illustrations, and promotional materials. All such content is reviewed and curated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
We used AI as a “support tool” in the creation of in-store visuals and certain in-game UI elements. We use AI solely as a support tool. We never leave the entire process to AI for any task.
Some of the artwork for this game was created with generative AI image tools and then edited by hand: the store page capsule images, the application icon, the studio logo, and the lobby board art.
The store text was written in Korean and translated into the other six supported languages with the help of AI.
The gameplay visuals are rendered in Unity, and all 2,478 stages are hand-authored data whose solutions are verified by a solver. No generative AI runs while you are playing.
During the development of Cash & Stash: A Vaultkeeper Story, we used tools that include AI-assisted features to help streamline production. However, no game content was created using generative AI.
This game was developed with the help of generative AI tools in the following areas.
■ Illustrations and images
2D artwork such as backgrounds, character portraits, cut-in illustrations, character creator parts, achievement icons, and store artwork was produced using image generation AI. The developer designed and directed the composition, character design, colors, and intent, then selected, retouched, cropped, and composited the generated images before including them in the game.
■ Music
The background music was produced using music generation AI. The developer designed the required mood for each scene, generated candidates, then selected and edited the tracks that are included in the game.
■ Program code
AI coding assistance tools were used for part of the implementation work.
■ Assets that do not involve AI
All sound effects and character voices are existing human-created audio assets (Soundeffect Lab, Kurage Kosho, T-Suta, DOVA-SYNDROME), used in accordance with each provider's terms of use. They are not AI generated. The font is "Zen Kaku Gothic New," provided under the SIL Open Font License.
■ Rights and legal care
All AI-generated assets were reviewed by the developer to ensure they contain no illegal content and do not infringe the rights of third parties. No generation was performed with the intent of imitating any specific real person or existing work.
Some of the artwork and images in this game were created using generative AI. AI was used as a tool during development to create visual assets used in the game and its store presentation.
Pixel Metropolis is a human-designed, AI-implemented game. As its sole human creator, I am responsible for the game’s design, systems, architecture, quality assurance, extensive testing, art direction, and sound direction.
Codex, primarily using OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol model, has generated all of the game’s code and has been used to direct the creation and implementation of its visual and sound assets. The only non-generated assets are a small selection of CC0 sounds.
INK ABYSS WALKER was crafted by a single indie developer. During development, AI tools were used as an assist to produce quick, early drafts of some illustrations and text — helping an ink-soaked idea take shape as images and words more efficiently. The core gameplay, worldbuilding, card and number balance, narrative, and overall tone, however, were all led, iterated and finalised by hand by the developer. AI is a tool that helps an idea move faster — not the author of it. Everything you see was selected, refined and re-crafted by a person, to keep faith with the game's ink-wash spirit. Thank you to every walker who carries the lamp onward.
Generative AI tools (such as Gemini) were used during development to assist in creating graphic design elements for in-game parody VHS cover art and store page graphic assets. All AI-generated artwork was manually curated, edited, and formatted into final 3D texture maps for the game's assets.
Parts of this game's text were created with the assistance of generative AI: the translation of the interface into several of its 13 supported languages, and portions of the store page text. All in-game art, music and sound effects are procedurally generated by hand-written code, not by AI, and no AI-generated content is created while you play.
Some of the text in this product was drafted with generative AI and then edited by the developer: parts of this store page description and some in-game text. Parts of the source code were also written with AI coding assistance and reviewed by hand.
The art, 3D models, animation and audio in this game are not AI-generated, and no generative AI runs while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with selected visual assets and promotional materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and refined by the developer before use.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with English localization and early drafts of in-game letter content. All AI-assisted text was reviewed and edited by the developer. No AI-generated images or audio are included.
Some pre-generated 2D artwork assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. These AI-assisted drafts were used as a starting point for cat sprites, adoption box artwork, icons, capsule images, trailer visuals, and some store screenshots. All final assets were selected, edited, adjusted, and reviewed by the developer before being included in the product. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI tools were used to create some of the pre-rendered content that ships with this game and appears on this store page, specifically artwork and character voice audio. Nothing is generated by AI while the game is running.
We used generative AI tools during development in the following ways:
3D character models: The models for the supernatural guests (Nightmare, Goblin, Vampire, Devil), the merchant Djinn, and the trapped travelers were generated using AI tools (Meshy AI, with concept images from Google Gemini image models), then rigged, animated, retextured, lit, and integrated by hand in Unity.
Store artwork: The capsule key art was created with AI image generation tools and composed by hand.
Code: Portions of the game's source code were written with AI coding assistance and reviewed by the developer.
All AI-generated content was created by the developer using licensed tools, and all final assets were manually edited, integrated, and tested. No AI-generated content is produced live during gameplay — everything shipped in the game is pre-made and fixed.
This game uses AI-assisted tools during the development process to support the solo developer's workflow:
- 2D Art & Textures: Some background textures, UI elements, and concept art references were initially drafted using AI tools, followed by extensive manual repainting, editing, and refinement. All character designs, 3D models, are fully crafted and hand-painted by human artists. The story context is designed by myself.
- Audio: Certain background music tracks and ambient prototypes were generated with AI assistance. Character voice acting in story and core themes are produced by human creators.
No real-time (live-generated) AI is used during runtime.
Parts of the artwork were created with generative AI tools and then retouched by hand: several background illustrations, the title logo, and the store page capsule images.
Text outside Japanese — the in-game English and the store page translations — was produced with the help of AI.
Nothing is generated by AI while the game is running.
During our creative processes, we may use modern digital tools that include AI-based features to assist with content creation, such as language translation or voice acting. This helps us stay innovative without losing sight of what makes our games truly unique, while ensuring the final product preserves the distinctive style and quality our development team strives for.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with certain code, UI elements, and visual effect assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and ultimately approved by actual humans on the development team. The game’s environments, NPCs, and related artwork were handcrafted by our artist. All gameplay design, creative direction, and final content decisions were made by the development team.
I am a professional artist who lost the majority of my vision many years ago. Now legally blind, I use AI to generate base images and I create what I call "Hybrid Art", in which I combine my own art and skills with the generations to still create art that I love. This technique has been used in Hex & Tonic for card art, store page art, etc. I hope it brings you as much joy as I got creating for you.
This game's text localization into multiple languages was assisted by AI translation tools. Three background music tracks, licensed from Pixabay, were AI-created or AI-modified by their original creators. All other artwork, audio, and game assets are human-made or sourced from licensed marketplaces — no other AI-generated content is used.
