This game used generative AI tools during development to assist with a limited portion of visual and audio asset creation. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and curated by the developer before release. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.
Some of this game's assets were made with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed, curated and hand-finished by the developer. No content is generated while you play.
AI generation tools were used to help create the character art on the Steam capsule and the in-game skill icons. AI was also used to assist with localization/translation. All assets were reviewed and finalized 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.
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.
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.
AI was used during development to assist with the creation of certain visual elements.
All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer before being integrated into the game.
The game's menu interface and Steam store page assets (capsule images and other promotional artwork) were designed with the assistance of an AI-based design tool. All other art, environments, characters, and audio in the game were created without the use of generative AI.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating select 2D artwork for this game illustrations for collectible cards, artwork for the card battle/arena scene, and the game's logo and store capsule art. All AI-assisted artwork was selected, edited, and finalized by the development team before inclusion. Generative AI was not used to create the 3D open-world environment, or other gameplay systems/mechanics. This is for the demo build, and some or all AI-assisted art may be replaced with original human-made artwork in the full release.
As an indie studio, we use generative AI to continue developing the games we love. It allows us to accomplish tasks that would otherwise be beyond our small team's capacity.
Generative AI was used during the development of the game's user interface and to assist with creating parts of the game's audio. Every AI-generated asset was carefully reviewed and refined before being included in the final game.
Pixel art assets, in-game text translation to other languages were produced with AI assistance during development and edited by the developer. No content is generated at runtime.
This game uses generative AI during development to assist with selected artwork, relic and character illustrations, and limited text drafts. All generated material was created offline during development, then manually reviewed, edited, integrated, and quality-checked before being included in the game.
The game does not generate images, audio, text, code, or other content in real time, and it does not send player data or game content to external AI services during gameplay.
Some art assets were initially created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then manually edited and finalized by the developer. AI tools were also used to assist with multilingual localization.
Generative AI tools were used during the development of this game to assist with programming, debugging, translation, and content creation. Some artwork, text, and other assets were also generated or processed with the assistance of generative AI, then reviewed and edited by the development team. The game does not use generative AI at runtime or generate content in response to player input. The development team remains responsible for all content included in the final game.
Generative AI was used to create some of the image and sound assets used in the game. These include character illustrations, card artwork, design elements, and some sound assets. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited as necessary by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with visual artwork and programming. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before inclusion in the game. No generative AI content is created during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation and iteration of some 2D artwork, visual assets, UI elements, and marketing materials. All generated content used in the final product is selected and reviewed by the developer. No generative AI content is generated during gameplay.
Some of this game's assets were made with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed, curated and hand-finished by the developer. No content is generated while you play.
Some content was created with the assistance of generative AI tools: 2D store and
marketing art (library capsule and library hero), the game's localization into
non-English languages, and portions of in-game flavour text. All localization was
reviewed before shipping. All in-game visuals are generated procedurally at runtime
from code, all sound effects are synthesised at runtime, and all music is
human-composed and licensed under CC BY 4.0. The game performs no AI generation at
runtime and connects to no external AI service.
Some art, icons, music, sound effects, and marketing or store assets were created or assisted with generative AI tools during development, then reviewed and curated by the team. The game does not generate new AI content in real time during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while you play.
Localizations other than Italian are AI-assisted, with human and community review ongoing during development. All game design, writing, and art direction are human-made.
The images shown on the monster reveal screen after an egg is cracked, and the artwork used on the daily report screen, were created with generative AI.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of some artwork, store page graphics, 3D assets, and audio content. No generative AI is used to generate content live during gameplay.
Some promotional materials for this game — including portions of the trailer and key art — were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All such content is pre-generated, reviewed, and edited by the developer before publication. The game itself does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
AI tools were used for some initial concept designs. All final in-game assets, characters and scenes have been extensively hand-edited, redrawn and post-processed by the developer to achieve a consistent hand-drawn comic style.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with selected pre-generated marketing and Steam store artwork, concept and reference images, product packaging artwork and textures, and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited and curated by the developer before being included. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Some artwork (ship, station and environment sprites, icons) and sound effects were created using generative AI tools during development, then curated and hand-edited by the developer. All AI-generated content was reviewed before inclusion.
I'm not a professional game developer or artist. Making my own game had been a dream for years, but I never knew how to turn that dream into reality. Generative AI became the tool that finally made it possible.
With its help, I created many of the game's visual and audio assets, including item, UI, skill, and module icons, character portraits, ships, space stations, backgrounds, the game icon, the Steam store artwork, and some of the sound effects. It also assisted me with programming.
But Star Corsairs is not a game that AI simply generated. Every asset was reviewed, rejected, refined, or replaced until it matched the vision I had in mind. Every gameplay system was designed, tested, and reworked repeatedly until it felt right. The economy, ship balance, pirate AI, combat, and progression were all shaped through countless hours of playtesting and manual iteration. The story, world, and all of the writing were created by me.
Without generative AI, this game would probably never have existed. But without the countless creative decisions, revisions, and work behind every part of it, Star Corsairs wouldn't exist either.
Kaperfahrt uses AI generated assets in two places. Both are placeholders and are being replaced with commissioned work.
The portrait illustrations on the wanted posters of the 23 Blacklist pirates were made with an AI image generator. They were bought as finished assets.
The soundtrack, the ambient audio and the spoken lines of the Blacklist pirates were made with Suno under a paid commercial licence.
Some of the pre-rendered 2D art shipped with the game (era intermission illustrations, panel icons, campaign cover images and the Economic Association hall with economist portraits) was produced with generative image tools (fal.ai, Krea) from prompts authored by the developer, then post-processed by hand and by scripts in tools/. No generative AI is used at runtime. The game's simulation code, UI, isometric city renderer, world map (built from Natural Earth data) and all text, including the three interface languages, are authored by the developer.
The pixel art was generated with PixelLab. The music was generated with Suno on a paid plan. I wrote the prompts, picked what worked, and threw out what didn't. The game itself, the economy, the systems, the design, the words on screen, I built. Nothing is generated while the game runs. Everything ships as files. There are no AI calls at play time, no AI voice, and no chatbots.
This is a one-person project — just me — and I used AI tools throughout development. All of it is pre-generated: the game doesn't make AI calls while you're playing, and it makes no network calls at all.
Most of the code was written with AI coding assistants. Some of the writing players see was drafted the same way and then edited by me: the word lists the game builds its procedural company names from, the achievement titles, and the templates behind the news items and company filings. Those get assembled in-game by ordinary seeded code, not by a model. The store page copy was drafted with AI help as well.
The app icon was made with an AI image generator. That same icon is also the Steam community icon, the Windows client icon, the store page background, and the base image for the achievement icons.
The rest of the art isn't AI-generated. The capsules and library assets are drawn programmatically from the game's own stylesheet and some seeded procedural drawing code, the screenshots are straight captures of the game running, and the audio is synthesized as you play rather than being generated audio files.
Cigar Tycoon includes pre-generated AI-assisted content created during development, including some promotional artwork, store capsule and library artwork, and a small amount of magazine-style written content. The developer reviewed and edited this content before release. The game does not generate new content with AI during gameplay, does not connect to an external AI service, and does not send player data to an AI service.
Some of the artwork in FAVOR — including character board illustrations, card art and cover art — was created with the help of generative AI image tools, then curated, edited and assembled by our team for the printed 1st Edition of the game and this digital adaptation. No content is generated live during gameplay: every card, board and illustration is a fixed, pre-made asset that ships with the game.
