This game was developed with the help of generative AI.
- Generative AI was used to write and translate text (slime descriptions,
in-game wording, and the English localisation). All of it was reviewed
and edited by a human.
- Generative AI was also used to write program code.
- The slime pixel art is not image-generated. It is drawn by a rendering
program written for this game.
- No AI runs while the game is playing. The game makes no network
connections and calls no AI models.
Some 2D art assets (character portraits and a portion of the character sprites) and some in-game text (dialogue lines) were produced with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-generated output was manually edited, retouched and adjusted by the developer before being included in the game.
No content is generated at runtime; everything ships with the build as pre-generated assets.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, text, and the creation of some visual assets. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.
AI was used on a limited basis to assist with the refinement of certain visual designs. All VHS artwork and other licensed imagery is based on artwork created by human artists, and we hold the appropriate licenses for all third-party images used.
Artificial intelligence tools were used as part of the development process for selected visual and audio elements, design references, and text translations. All final content was reviewed and curated by the development team.
Some in-game text (such as the messages in bottles) and store page copy were written with the assistance of AI tools. All content has been reviewed and edited by the developer.
During development, we used AI tools to assist in creating some art assets, voice acting, and dialogue. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated before release — the game does not generate content with AI in real time while you play. All such content is reviewed and refined by our team to ensure quality and originality, and to avoid generic-looking characters.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with some pre-generated visual assets, including selected pixel-art environments, characters, illustrations, icons, and promotional artwork. These assets are included with the game and are not generated live during gameplay. The game does not use a live AI service or send player data to an AI service. Shipped assets were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team.
We used AI image-generation tools to help create some 2D art assets in the game, such as in-game banners, posters, and signage. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer.
We use AI to generate content for the game such as text descriptions, some images like npc portraits and ware items and to generate some stories to create immersion in the game.
We also generate some voicing for dialogs using licensed voices.
We also generate some other sounds such as sound effects (wind, sea waves)
All content text, images, voices or sounds are reviewed manually by a human to verify the content and licensing aspects.
Portions of the game's code were written with AI assistance and reviewed, tested and integrated by the developer. Localization into non-English languages was machine-assisted and human-reviewed. Some 2D concept/marketing artwork was AI-assisted and manually refined. All gameplay, game design and audio are human-made. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
The game's surface textures — the colour and relief maps applied to parts,
buildings, terrain and visual effects — and its sound effects were created
with generative AI tools during development. They are generated ahead of
time, reviewed and integrated by hand, and ship with the game as ordinary
image and audio files.
Nothing is generated while you play, and the game never connects to an AI
service.
The simulation itself — orbital mechanics, aerodynamics, the production chains — is written by hand.
Pre-Generated Content
This demo includes pre-generated AI content:
- The background images used in the Store, Breeding, and Inventory screens.
- The shared background image used in the Collection and Tutorial screens.
- Wooden aquarium decorations.
- Snail aquarium decorations.
- Background music tracks generated with Suno AI. The developer holds a license for their use.
No AI-generated content is created during gameplay. Players cannot enter prompts or interact with AI systems.
Some assets like the games base cover art images are generated by AI so we can provide a large curated selection for each genre, topic and gaming generation.
Aftergrowth's code was written with the help of an AI coding assistant, and some of the game's text — including parts of this store page — was first drafted with it and then edited by hand.
Nothing you see or hear is AI-generated. Every sprite, tile and icon is drawn by deterministic Python scripts rather than by an image model. The music is synthesised and the sound effects are CC0 recordings by Kenney, both credited in the game's CREDITS file. No generative AI runs while you play: nothing is generated live, and the game makes no request to any AI service.
I created this game solo, using generative AI as one of the tools.
It helped me write the code and also generated the ambient music and
some of the planet textures. Everything else was crafted by hand: the
interface, Fjord and the seals orbiting the Earth aren't drawn images —
they're rendered in code.
Nothing is generated while you play: the game runs fully offline.
And no, I didn't just sit around drinking coffee while the AI did the
work — though I certainly did consume an obscene amount of coffee.
Generative AI was used during development to create selected pre-generated store graphics, story illustrations, and in-game art. These assets were reviewed and edited before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content at runtime and does not send player input or personal data to AI services.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, debugging, optimization, gameplay design, and the review or translation of some written content. The game does not use live-generated AI and does not connect to an AI service during gameplay.
This game includes an optional AI assistant. Players may use the AI tools during gameplay for in‑game assistance such as balloon‑shooting, feeding and other actions. No AI‑generated content will be produced.
During development, generative AI tools were used to assist with programming and some pre‑generated text. All AI‑assisted text included in the game was reviewed and edited by the development team.
No AI was used to generate the game's artwork or music. All artwork and music were created by human artists and musicians.
Some art, music and sound effects were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, under the creative direction of the developer. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and curated before inclusion. The game does not use AI to generate content during gameplay.
This game contains pre-generated 2D artwork and source code created with ChatGPT during development. All game source code was generated with ChatGPT, then reviewed, tested, debugged, and integrated by the developer. The artwork was generated from original prompts written for Gravefire Tavern, then reviewed, selected, edited, composited, cropped, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an AI service.
The main Campaign story, characters, and dialogue are written by a team of human writers. AI tools are used for voice generation and some localization.
The optional Free Ride mode includes AI-generated passenger missions and localized dialogue. Free Ride mode is separate from the main Campaign and can be skipped by players who prefer to experience only human-written narrative content.
The game also includes a mix of radio stations featuring human-made music and AI-generated music. Stations containing AI-generated music are clearly labeled as such in the game.
This game uses an open-source language model (Qwen2.5) bundled with the game to generate real-time NPC dialogue and ambient chatter entirely offline on the player's own machine via llama.cpp. No external server, no third-party API, and no internet connection are required. Players can toggle this feature on or off. The model runs locally using the player's CPU — no data is uploaded, collected, stored, or used for training.
AI tools were used during development to provide feedback on artwork and assist with localization. No AI-generated artwork or other AI-generated assets are included in the final game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create or process some pre-generated voice audio and selected 2D visual assets, including stylized character and news-related images.
All AI-assisted content is created before release and manually reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game.
No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input or data is sent to generative AI services.
All AI involvement is pre-generated and human-reviewed: nothing is generated while you play, the game runs no AI models, and it never sends your data anywhere.
This game uses generative AI to assist with some translations. All AI-assisted translations were reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer before being included in the game.
Artificial intelligence was used to assist with interface localization and adaptation of in-game textures.
There was a time when people used Google Translate, and terrible localization for many languages was common. Times have changed, progress does not stand still. Today, new and more advanced tools have emerged, and people now use them instead of outdated ones.
This game uses a few assets purchased from FAB which may or may not contain AI-generated content. I have personally done my best to scrub AI out of those few purchased assets. There are also two images and two short instrumentals, and that's it.
Portions of this game's code were written with the assistance of an AI coding tool, working under the developer's direction, with all output reviewed, tested, and integrated by hand. All artwork, animation, music, and sound effects are human-created licensed assets — no AI-generated art or audio is used. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime; computer opponents use traditional hand-written game logic.
Symbiosis: Criticality's narrative and dialogue were developed with the assistance of generative AI as part of an iterative, human-directed writing process. All in-game art, audio, and code were authored directly by the development team.
Generative AI was used in parts of this project: the animated story cutscenes were brought to life with AI tools from original artwork drawn by the developer; the game's music, most of its sound effects, some in-game images such as the main menu, its logo and some promotional material, the store-page translations, and the English and Turkish in-game text were also created with generative AI tools. The gameplay itself — its systems, characters, environments and screenshots — is authentic and shows the real game. No AI is used to generate content during gameplay.
AI-assisted tools were used during the development of this game to help with portions of the programming process, the creation of some visual assets, and certain audio assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, refined, and integrated by the development team before release. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay and does not rely on external AI services while running.
We integrate artificial intelligence solely as a creative assistance tool during pre-production and artistic exploration phases.
Specifically, we use image generators to produce preliminary concept art, explore different visual directions, and accelerate iteration on our graphic ideas.
AI serves only as a source of inspiration, while the entire final content is fully created, curated, and refined by our human team.
Generated images are never used as-is in the final product.
Every visual element in the game (textures, characters, environments, illustrations, etc.) is recreated, retouched, painted, recomposed, or manually validated by our artists to ensure:
originality of the content,
respect for copyright,
artistic consistency,
and compliance with Steam/Valve guidelines.
AI does not contribute to the generation of final assets, 3D models, animations, sounds, or any other elements directly integrated into the game.
Its role is strictly limited to providing visual references, aesthetic guidance, and starting points to help our team work more efficiently.
This approach allows us to maintain a strong and authentic artistic identity while benefiting from a more fluid, inspiring, and innovative creation process — directly reflected in the quality, coherence, and originality of our game.
This game was primarily coded with AI.
The story and concept was made almost entirely by myself (As this was the main aim of the game to begin with)
Please don't buy it if you're not a fan of this use of AI generation.
Some of the artwork in The Dawn Forge — the item, building, unit and boss illustrations — and the spoken narration lines were created using AI image and voice tools, working from the developer's own art direction and scripts, and then composed and edited by hand. Nothing is generated while you play: the game runs entirely offline and never contacts an AI service.
