Jump Bait was created using generative AI, including its code, visual assets, music, and written content. AI-generated content was created during development. The game does not generate AI content or connect to third-party AI services during gameplay.
Shiny Gen ships over thirty original games and scenes. Their art, animation frames, music and sound effects were produced with the same AI generation tools the product offers to players, using the third party services listed in our Live-Generated answer. All of it was directed, reviewed and assembled by us before it shipped, and the game code itself is authored and hand edited by our team. No pre generated content in the shipping build is produced from a player's input, and none of it is generated at runtime from our side.
Shiny Gen is a game creation tool, so live generation is the product rather than a feature of it. When a player asks for something, we call third party AI services to generate game code, images, animation frames, music, sound effects and 3D models from the text they type. Generation always happens at the player's explicit request, never in the background, and always requires a free Shiny Gen account and an internet connection.
Every request goes to an established commercial AI provider: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI, Runware, Retro Diffusion, Replicate and ElevenLabs. Each request is governed by that provider's usage policy and runs under the provider's own built-in safety systems at their default settings. We never disable, weaken or opt out of a provider's safety system anywhere in our product. OpenAI image generation runs under OpenAI's default moderation, and Google image generation carries Google's SynthID provenance watermarking.
Guardrails on our side:
- Our Community Rules, which are binding under our Terms of Service and published on our website, set out what may not be generated or shared. They prohibit, among other things, any sexual content involving a minor and sexual imagery of a real person without their consent, and they treat a prompt asking for prohibited content as a breach whether or not the model produces it.
- Generation requires a signed in Shiny Gen account. There is no anonymous generation, so every request is attributable to an account.
- Generation is rate limited per account and per address, and it is metered against a paid credit balance, so volume abuse is bounded rather than free.
- The prompt and the resulting asset are retained against the account that made them, which is what lets us act on a report.
- Anyone can report content to support@shinygen.ai. A person on our team reviews each report and can remove the content and close the account responsible.
- The in app feed cannot receive player made content. It is served from our own catalogue and is enforced in code: the publish endpoint refuses any caller that is not our own account. Nothing a player generates can appear in another player's feed.
- Multiplayer contains no free text channel of any kind. Communication is a closed set of eight fixed emotes, so there is no user to user text surface to moderate.
- Player made games are never separate programs. They run as interpreted scripts inside our own sandbox, which is an allowlist: it has no filesystem, network, process or operating system access, and no reflection or dynamic dispatch. A generated game cannot execute native code, start a process, reach the network or read the player's files.
We do not permit and do not support the generation of Adult Only sexual content, and we will act on reports received through Steam's in game reporting system and at support@shinygen.ai.
Some environment prop artwork was created with an image-generation model from written briefs, then hand-reviewed, cropped and integrated. Sprites, tilesets, audio, UI, achievement icons and all code are authored procedurally or by hand. No AI-generated text, narrative or live-generated content.
During the development of this game, generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some 2D art assets and pre-generated sound effects. All AI-assisted content underwent manual review, modification, and integration by the developers. No content will be generated by generative AI during gameplay.

War of the Watchers uses generative AI in two places. Both are pre-generated before release and ship as fixed files; nothing is generated while you play.
Character dialogue is voiced using AI text-to-speech. Every line was written by the developer, and the tool performs those written lines. Each take is recorded before release and ships as an audio file.
Some promotional artwork, including the key art and store capsules, was produced with AI image tools and then edited by the developer.
Game code, level design and all in-game visuals are hand-authored. No content is generated during gameplay.
Art assets (backgrounds, capybara and object sprites, capsules, icon), the store trailer footage, sound effects, ambience and music were generated with AI tools (image and video generation, PixelLab, ElevenLabs) from the developer's own references and direction, then cropped, scaled, palette-snapped and composed by hand-written code. The translations of the game and store texts into languages other than Portuguese and English were produced with AI and reviewed by the developer. All code, game design, writing and the original Portuguese and English texts are human-made. The game does not generate any content at runtime.
As a small development team of just two people, we used generative AI tools in limited cases to assist with the production of certain visual assets and help manage the scope of development.
All AI-assisted assets were carefully reviewed, edited, refined, and finalized by us to fit the game's established art style and direction. Generative AI was used as a supporting tool during development, rather than to define the creative direction of the game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with selected visual assets, written content, localization, and other parts of the production process. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI content is created during gameplay.
The visual assets and text content in this game were generated or assisted by AI tools during development. All AI-generated content is pre-rendered; there is no real-time AI generation during gameplay.

This game uses AI-generated images for some of its backgrounds, obstacles, collectible items, UI, fonts, logo, and visual effects, and an AI-generated sound effect on the results screen. Character designs were primarily hand-drawn by REBORNSMITH's designers, with generative AI used as an assistive tool in places. Generative AI tools were also used for some of the background music and parts of the promotional trailer. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by our team. The game does not generate any images, audio, or text with AI during gameplay.
Some assets in this game were created with the help of generative AI: background and character art, UI and achievement icons, music and sound effects, and promotional material such as the trailer. All of them were selected, edited and checked by hand before use. The script and all in-game text were written by a human. The game performs no AI generation at runtime and connects to no external AI service.
Spacetime Chronicles comes from a handmade animated feature: most of what you see are real paper sets, characters and props, photographed and animated frame by frame by the author. Generative AI was used in the following areas. Images: roughly 15% of the game's images were created or completed with generative AI, then edited and integrated by the author. Audio: the game's sound effects and character voices were produced using generative AI tools. Code: parts of the game's source code were written and reviewed with the help of AI assistants.

created with generative AI tools (ElevenLabs, Suno), then reviewed, edited,
and finalized by the developer. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
WICKLING was built with AI assistance. Generative AI was used during development to help write the game's code, its pixel art, its level layouts and some of its writing, and to help produce this store page and its artwork.
The soundtrack is not AI-generated. Every note is a hand-written 2A03 chiptune, synthesised by the game as it runs rather than played back from audio files, which is why the horror systems can bend the music live.
Nothing in WICKLING is generated while you play. Every level, sprite, line of text and piece of music is fixed and identical for every player, and the game makes no network requests of any kind.
Generative AI is used as part of the development process for character illustrations, background images, background music (BGM), the implementation of custom gameplay systems, and user interface (UI) elements.
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.
