Generative AI was used to create some pre-rendered marketing artwork for the Steam store page and to assist with drafting and translating store-page text. No generative AI content is generated during gameplay.
Dystopia uses AI to live-generate its radio: all music, DJ voices, lyrics,
song titles, and artist names are created by AI on our own servers and
streamed to every player. Our 3D environments render as Gaussian splats and
were AI generated using World Labs' Marble.
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.
Neural Defense was developed by a five-person indie team using a combination of hand-crafted work and generative AI tools. Generative AI was used during development to assist with music composition, concept art, portions of the game's code, and the editing and expansion of some narrative text. All final in-game assets — including 3D models, textures, and visual art seen during gameplay — were hand-crafted by the studio's artists. No content or code is generated live during gameplay; everything was created, reviewed, and finalized by the team prior to release.
Dream Simulators uses generative AI to create dynamic dialogue, story continuations, characters, missions, and narrative events based on player input and the active Lore system. Each Expansion Pack features its own world, Lore, characters, and adventures, creating a unique storytelling experience. The AI also generates creative scene descriptions and prompts that players can use as inspiration for creating images and videos. Because the experience is driven by player input, generated content may vary between playthroughs.
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.
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.
SpaceBuddies uses generative AI tools during development to create pre-rendered content included in the game and on this store page. AI was used to help produce some 3D models (Rodin), marketing/game imagery (ChatGPT), sound effects (Eleven Labs), and background music (Suno). All AI-generated assets were reviewed and edited by the development team before release.
This game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay, and it does not connect to third-party AI services while you play.
Generative AI was used during development to create visual assets and other non-dialogue content included in the game. Generated assets were selected, edited, and integrated as part of the development process.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with portions of pre-generated in-game artwork and Steam store/marketing artwork. All outputs were reviewed, cleaned, composited, color-adjusted, and quality-checked by the development team. The game does not generate AI content at runtime.
Generative AI tools were used to support the creation and iteration of some visual assets and development-related content. All final assets are reviewed, edited, and selected by the developer before being included in the game or promotional materials. The game does not generate AI content live during gameplay.
As a solo developer, AI has been used as a tool to get the game where it is today. Primary used as a tool to help with areas of development and certain text generations.
No art or music was generated by AI. 95% of the artwork in the game is procedurally generated by code, while the rest is hand done by me. The music was also created by me specifically for the game.
AI was used in places like name and description generations for items in the game as well as some text areas within the tutorial coach text to help guide players through the initial stages of the game.
Some of this game's 2D graphics — including UI icons, part icons and mission cards — were created ahead of time with the help of AI image generation tools. Every generated asset was reviewed, selected and adjusted by the developer before being included.
No content is generated by AI while the game is running. The 3D models, stages, effects and all game logic were produced by scripts and by hand, not by AI.
Electric Crust was designed, built, and directed by its developer, Charles Whetstone. I used generative AI as a production assistance tool for a subset of shipping assets including some sprite artwork that began in Midjourney output before being manipulated and reworked by hand, along with soundtrack being initially created with assistance of Suno. Both were used under paid commercial licenses.
The game performs no live or runtime AI generation. Every asset is fixed and authored before release, and the game makes no network calls
of any kind.
This game uses Eleven Labs to generate certain sound effects. All other content — including art, models, music, writing, and gameplay — is entirely hand‑made and does not use AI.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of selected promotional artwork and Steam store graphical assets. These assets were reviewed and curated by the development team before being used. The game does not currently use live generative AI during gameplay.
As a solo developer I find use of AI to be one of my most prominent and efficient tools ever used.
I'm heavily relying on Gemini, Claude and QWEN to create my code snippets and review them. I also manually review their work from time to time.
Visual assets creation also rely on AI(NanoBanana2). Some of the assets are my sketches that has been polished to perfection by AI. Some are AI generated and hand-edited after and some, I'll be totally honest here, are fully AI generated, via meticulous prompt engineering and trial and errors.
I'm heavily opposed to using AI to create slop or mass produce clones of existing content. But I'm a firm believer that, when curated by talented individual with solid vision, it can achieve great results.
We used generative AI to assist with translating Galacto's in-game text into its supported languages. All game design, artwork, sound and music were created by hand without generative AI
Pre-generated AI was used for parts of the soundtrack and abstract store artwork. All content was selected and edited by the developer. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Laryen includes an optional in-game AI companion named Laria. When a player asks Laria a question by voice or text, her answer is generated at runtime by an AI language model, grounded in Laryen's own game data (monsters, hunting grounds, equipment, drops and progression). Laria answers questions about the game only. She does not generate artwork, music, or content that is shared with other players, and using her is never required to play.
Some artwork used in our store page and marketing materials was created with the assistance of generative AI tools and reviewed by our team before publication.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of source code and early drafts of store-page
and localization text. All AI-assisted output was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not
generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with coding, promotional artwork, and store-page copy and localization. All outputs were reviewed by the developer.
ORACLE uses generative AI in two ways: some marketing artwork was created with generative tools, and an optional bundled local language model can generate short, context-aware ORACLE narration during play. Live generation runs locally on the player's PC and is limited to text; it does not generate code, images, audio, or gameplay rules.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create certain pre-generated visual and audio assets, including character portraits and video sequences, mech and environment artwork, synthetic voice-over, and some sound effects. All generated assets were reviewed and curated by the developer. The game does not generate content during gameplay, and no player input is sent to generative AI services.
We used AI tools in two places during development, and in neither of them to replace creative work.
Our French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean localisations are made using AI. We also used AI assistance while writing and restructuring parts of our codebase.
Everything players see and hear — art, animation, sound, music, game design and all original writing — was made by people.
### Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence
During the development of this game, I used generative artificial intelligence tools to assist me with various aspects of its creation.
AI was mainly used to create and/or improve certain visual elements of the game, including images and PNG files used in different graphical elements.
It also assisted me in creating the game’s trailer, as well as with certain scripts and technical elements that were particularly complex to implement. In these situations, AI was used as an assistance tool to help me develop, adapt, and finalize certain elements.
The use of artificial intelligence does not mean that the game was entirely created by AI. The game’s design, artistic direction, gameplay, development, and final integration of the different elements were carried out and supervised by me.
I want to be transparent with players regarding the use of these technologies in the creation of the game.
AI was used in the coding and content creation for this game. That should not take away from this project the thousands of hours spent on its creation, honing and reshaping its style, direction and gameplay which was all done by a human.
This game was created by an independent developer. Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, debugging, text editing, and the initial localization of Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay, and player data is not used for AI training.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some promotional and visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or its Steam store materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to help write portions of this game's text content, and parts of this store page. All game code, visuals, music, and sound design were created directly by the developer without generative AI. AI was used to help debug and troubleshoot code.
This game makes limited, supplementary use of generative AI tools during development. The primary uses are programming assistance (such as debugging), certain image and audio assets, and assistance with translating text into English.
Generated image and audio assets are not used as-is. The development team reviews their content and makes additions, revisions, edits, and other adjustments to ensure that they are appropriately refined and fit the game.
For text translated with the assistance of generative AI, the development team reviews the context and content and makes any necessary revisions before using it in the game. Please note that generative AI does not generate any game content during gameplay.
This game includes a small amount of generative AI content used only for optional tutorial and demonstration materials. These pre‑generated, G‑rated assets illustrate how the game’s IN‑OUT‑based timing loop works. They do not appear in normal gameplay and do not influence any game systems. All core mechanics, visuals, audio, and interactive content are fully handcrafted and do not use AI generation during play.
