We use AI tools to support various parts of our development process:
Coding assistance: AI helps streamline parts of the game development by suggesting or optimizing code.
Concept art: We collaborate with our artists to generate AI-assisted concept art, allowing us to iterate faster during early visual development.
Marketing: Occasionally, we use AI tools in combination with our VFX and music teams to create promotional videos.
Voice acting: We use AI-generated sample lines to guide voice actors during recording sessions and provide reference tone and pacing.
AI tools were used to assist in the creation of certain pre-rendered assets such as key art, promotional images, and some music. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, curated, and finalized manually. The game itself does not use AI during gameplay.
The game uses some AI-generated text to enhance immersion through short form responsive NPC dialogue and procedurally described events. Each character’s dialogue is contextually grounded in their role, knowledge, and surroundings, keeping interactions cohesive and authentic.
Generative AI is NOT used for world narrative writing, lore, game logic, audio, images, or calculating outcomes of any kind.
AI systems ensure every player’s experience feels distinct while remaining true to the game’s established lore and tone.
This feature is experimental, and is not part of the core game.
AI-assisted tools were used during development for select artwork, marketing materials, and for code bug-checking/optimization. All gameplay, design, balance, and core assets were handcrafted by the developer. The game does not use AI to generate content during play.
This game uses AI-generated assets only in pre-rendered, non-interactive content.
Specifically, some character textures and 2D HUD elements were generated using AI tools, and certain background music tracks may include AI-assisted production via Pixabay resources.
No AI is used to generate gameplay content, logic, or code during live gameplay.
All interactive elements, level design, gameplay systems, animations, and story content were created manually by the developer.
As a solo developer, transparency with my players is essential to me. That's why I want to clarify that I have used artificial intelligence tools to assist in the creative process of Celestial Deus. Working alone on a project of this scope requires finding creative solutions. AI allowed me to bring my artistic vision to life where my own skills or resources were limited.
Here is how it was used:
Skybox: The skybox, which depicts a stylized sky filled with large clouds as if viewed from a great height, was generated by an AI to match the game's unique atmosphere.
Voice Acting: To bring the characters to life, I first recorded all their voices myself. Then, I used an AI to transform my voice recordings, ensuring that each voice perfectly matches the personality and character of the deity it represents.
Music: I composed the foundational music tracks myself, and then used AI to remix and enhance them. This gave them more style and complexity for a more immersive ambiance.
My approach was always to use my own creations as a starting point and guide these tools, allowing me to deliver a more complete experience than I could have achieved on my own.
I used Elevenlabs AI Voice Robots to do all the voicework in the game.
A few store page images have been created with ComfyUI.
Achievements images have been created with with ComfyUI.
This game uses pre-generated AI art. All in-game elements—including illustrations, backgrounds, and bosses—were created with generative tools and then edited and refined by the developer. The only exceptions are a few assets.
During the development of this game, some visual assets for the store page and in-game loading screens were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All such content was created and reviewed by the development team to ensure it aligns with the game's artistic vision and quality standards. No AI-generated content is created live during gameplay.
How We Used AI in When The Sun Dies
When developing When The Sun Dies, we leveraged artificial intelligence to enrich your experience and create a truly immersive world. AI is integrated into many different aspects of the game, playing significant roles both visibly and behind the scenes.
Areas Where AI Was Used:
Visual and Audio Design: We utilized AI-powered tools in the creation of some of the game's textures, 3D models, and sounds. This allowed our artists and sound designers to bring their visions to life more quickly and efficiently, enhancing the unique and unsettling atmosphere of the world.
Code Optimization and Development: AI-assisted processes were used in the development and optimization of certain parts of the game's core code. This helped us deliver a more stable, efficient, and seamless gameplay experience.
Story and World Building: AI-based suggestion systems contributed to detailing certain elements of our post-apocalyptic world's rich story and lore, as well as refining characters and events. This increased the depth of the world and the layers of narrative waiting to be discovered.
Our goal was to use AI as a tool to make When The Sun Dies the best and most unforgettable survival experience possible. We hope you enjoy these innovative approaches!
Some visual assets in this game were initially generated using AI tools and then manually edited and refined by artists. No AI systems influence gameplay or player data.
Through the chat system, players can talk and interact with their closest companion pets in real-time.
To ensure a safe experience, this pet conversation feature applies both DeepSeek’s filtering system and an in-game keyword moderation system during the content generation process. These safeguards are designed to ensure compliance with Steam’s guidelines—preventing content that promotes hate or discrimination, incites violence, depicts real individuals in explicit ways, or infringes on copyrights.
AI tools were used to create some videos, paint characters, scenarios and weapons, as well as to correct texts and help identify difficult bugs. All AI-generated material was manually reviewed to ensure quality and consistency with the project.
AI should not take away people's jobs and turn paintings into posters, which is why DarkShine is developed as much as possible by human hands and their exuberant artistic impulses. In some rare moments, such as improving blurred textures and mechanical issues, it acts as an assistant where it is necessary to write a complex system with complex and comprehensive code without involving highly paid specialists. The majority of the game is the work of a living person with all their small achievements and mistakes.
During our development process, we utilized generative AI as a powerful tool in areas such as 3D modeling and character design. All AI-assisted content in our game was finalized and integrated by our team as static assets before the game's release. No real-time or dynamic content is generated by AI during gameplay. This technology helped our team bring our game world to life more efficiently and creatively.
- Since it is a one-person development game, there is a limit to producing all the directing cinemas, so we replaced the cinema with generative AI images and dialogues.
- We used generative AI to create game icons.
- Generative AI was used for the background music.
As a two-person indie team, we utilize AI-assisted tools for artwork, voice acting, and select textual content. This allows us to:
✓ Maintain visual consistency
✓ Accelerate content iteration
✓ Focus on perfecting core gameplay
All AI-generated assets are manually curated to align with the game's vision. We're committed to continuously refining the final quality.
Some visual or written assets in the game and on the store page were assisted by generative AI tools during development. These include occasional concept ideas or minor graphic elements. No live AI-generated content is used during gameplay.
AI-generated content is used selectively in this game to enhance visual and audio presentation. Specifically, AI-generated images are utilized for store page artwork, in-game billboards, and a few textures applied to non-essential assets. Additionally, AI voice generation is used for certain character voices to streamline development and maintain stylistic consistency. All AI-generated elements are carefully curated and integrated to support the game’s atmosphere without compromising originality or gameplay experience.
Some of the game's and store's visual content was initially created using AI, with significant rework and editing by myself. This content is intended to be replaced in future versions once there's a budget for a professional illustrator.
