Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
During the early stages of development, I used AI tools as a creative and technical aid, mainly to help with parts of the code and to create early drafts of some background artwork. These were only starting points in the development process. The materials were then reviewed, adapted, modified, and integrated as part of the game’s overall development.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with certain parts of the game, including code and game assets such as artwork, audio, and localization. All AI generated content has been reviewed before being included in the game.
Some of the sprites and marketing material started as AI-generated art that was processed and reworked by hand before use. No content is generated by AI while the game is running.
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.
Part of the UI, along with all character, monster and item icons, text translations, background music and some sound effects in this game are AI‑generated.
AI helps us bring our creative ideas to life. In true indie fashion, we are two starving game developers—figuratively, and occasionally quite literally. It’s the only way for us to produce the art we need while saving our remaining coins for developing the game. If the budget grows, we’ll consider buying the better cheese from the local market.
Visual Assets: As a solo developer, I use generative AI to create initial variations for scenery, textures, character sprites, and UI. No raw AI output ships in the game — every asset is hand-edited, composited, and cleaned up to match the game's aesthetic.
Music: The soundtrack and ambient music are created with AI audio tools, then curated and sequenced into a cohesive, atmospheric score.
During the development process, we may use procedural and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in creating some 2D art assets, including scene backgrounds, character and monster artwork, UI elements, and icons for items, equipment, skills, and status effects. Generative AI was also used to assist in drafting some in-game text. All AI-assisted content was selected, edited, post-processed, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use generative AI at runtime and does not generate content in real time in response to player input.
The game's art assets were created with the assistance of AI tools, including ChatGPT and Tencent Hunyuan. The game's music and sound effects were generated using Suno. Localized text for languages other than Chinese was translated with the assistance of ChatGPT. AI-assisted programming tools, including ChatGPT, were also used during the game's development.
In ALASH, we utilized generative AI as a supplementary tool to assist in creating 2D art assets. Specifically, AI networks were used to help develop certain environment elements, textures, and background images to enhance the unique visual style of our alternate history setting. Please note that all game design, core mechanics, storyline, tower defense logic, and programming code were created entirely by hand by our development team. AI was used solely to support our artistic vision, ensuring that the integrity and soul of the gameplay remain entirely human-made.
OpenAI image generation was used to create a pre-generated background image used in some of the game's Steam store capsule artwork and screenshots. The image is fixed and was reviewed by the developer. No content is generated using AI during gameplay.
The visual art in Palimpsest Idle (character, enemy, weapon, equipment, icon and background art) was created during development using AI image generation tools, then curated, processed and hand-assembled by the developer. The game's two music tracks were produced during development using an AI music composition service under a licence granting full ownership of the resulting compositions. Sound effects are royalty-free library recordings and are not AI-generated. No content is generated while the game is running - all assets ship as fixed files, and the game makes no network requests during play.
Pocket Adventurer is a solo-developed game that uses AI tools as part of its production pipeline. Character and monster artwork is originally hand-drawn, then processed with AI animation tools and converted into animated sprite sheets for use in the game. Code was written with AI coding assistance under direct human design, testing, and review. All content is pre-rendered; the game contains no live AI generation.
Some AI generation for promotional imagery
I cannot draw and I have no experience with graphics either, which is why I turned to AI for the images in the game: the creatures, items, zones and the class portraits. I picked, edited and placed every single one of them myself, and plenty were thrown out again before the rest fit together.
Generative AI tools have been used in a limited capacity to assist with pre-generated promotional content. All AI-assisted material is reviewed and curated by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI was used as a development aid to create and modify program code, produce some visual assets, and draft localized text. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and adjusted by the developer. No AI content is generated while the game is running.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating some UI graphics, equipment graphic assets, and music, as well as to assist with programming. All generated content was reviewed and edited as needed by the developer. No live-generated AI content is used while the game is running.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of some pre-generated visual assets for this game, including character and enemy artwork, scene and interface backgrounds, item and skill icons, and some promotional artwork for the Steam store. All such assets were manually selected, edited, cropped, adjusted, and reviewed by the developer before being integrated into the game.
Some of the game's 2D artwork, including character, enemy and boss sprites, item icons, and backgrounds, was created using generative AI tools. All such assets were individually reviewed, selected, polished and integrated by the development team.

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.
We employ generative AI technologies during the creation of some illustrations and music. All elements that make up the core and essence of the game are still done by us - the devs.
