Artificial intelligence was used as a supportive developer tool. It helped create conceptual background environment art. It also generated ambient layers for the soundtrack. This was done solely to enhance the neon synthwave atmosphere. All content underwent manual selection and final refinement.
Some visual effect textures in this game were generated using AI image tools and then edited by hand before being used. All other content - character and environment art, animation, models, music, sound and writing was created with love by humans. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed and edited before inclusion.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create selected artwork, audio assets, and promotional materials. These materials were reviewed and selected by the developer. Wreckums does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with selected promotional artwork and pre-generated voice-over audio. All AI-assisted content is created and reviewed before inclusion in the game or store materials. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay and does not generate content in real time.
During development, we used generative AI to assist with some character art assets and early UI concepts. All related assets were subsequently refined and manually adjusted extensively by professional artists and other team members to ensure the finished work matched the game's distinctive style and quality standards.
Generative AI tools were used to help create some pre-made sound effects and marketing materials, including store-page text and promotional artwork. These are fixed assets prepared during development. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay; its random holes and boundaries are created by procedural game code.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with some artwork, text, localization, and other game content. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by the developers before inclusion in the game.
I prefer to be clear and transparent about the development of Digging Nera, without attempting to hide, downplay, or minimize my use of AI or AI-assisted tools.
I am the sole developer of Digging Nera. I work without a team, without significant resources, and without formal training in game development. What I do have is my own artistic sensibility, curiosity, creativity, and willingness to learn. AI has been one of the tools that has helped me turn that vision into a game, and I have used it as follows:
I have primarily used generative AI to assist with localization and translation across the game's supported languages, as well as with the creation or refinement of selected visual and audio elements.
For some visual elements, I have used AI-assisted content as a starting point or production aid before selecting, adapting, editing, integrating, or reworking it to fit the artistic direction I established for the game. I have also used generative AI selectively to assist with certain audio elements and development-related tasks.
Developing Digging Nera represents a substantial personal investment of time and work. I have spent many hours designing and building its environments, implementing gameplay systems, testing, correcting issues, making adjustments, optimizing performance, and polishing the overall experience. AI tools are part of my production process, but they do not replace the work I put into designing, developing, testing, and shaping the game.
I personally designed and implemented the core of Digging Nera, including its environments, level design, gameplay mechanics, progression systems, narrative structure, user interface, world building, and overall creative direction.
I review, select, adapt where necessary, and integrate all AI-assisted content that ultimately appears in the game.
No generative AI is used in real time during gameplay. Digging Nera does not dynamically generate AI-created text, images, audio, levels, dialogue, or other content while the player is playing.
Generative AI was used to create background images and character artwork in the game. It was also used as a writing aid for proofreading and editing the narrative. AI-assisted content was reviewed and selected by the developer.
The protagonist was entirely hand-drawn. Some of the in-game tilesets, objects, background music, and sound effects were created using generative AI, and all AI-generated assets were manually retouched and edited by me before being used in the game.No generative AI content is generated during gameplay.
We use AI as a production tool in areas of development, with all creative direction, concepts, and final assembly done by humans:
Code assistance: AI tools help us write and debug GDScript/shader code for our Godot 4.5 engine. All architecture, game design decisions, and systems design are human-led.
3D models and art assets: Some 3D models and textures are AI-generated or AI-assisted, then manually cleaned up, retopologized, and integrated by hand. Final visual style and direction are decided by us.
Audio: Some sound effects and audio elements are AI-generated, then curated, edited, and mixed to fit the game.
Everything else — the game concept, world design, story, gameplay systems, and the process of bringing all elements together into the final game — is entirely human-made.
Generative AI was used during development to create some visual assets, including background artwork, UI graphics, icons and 3D models, as well as music, some sound effects, and localized text. These assets are included as pre-generated content. The game does not generate AI content or connect to external AI services during gameplay.
Astrovein was developed with the help of AI tools. The following content is AI-generated and was reviewed by the developer:
- Source code: partially AI-generated, reviewed and tested by the developer.
- Store artwork (capsule images and promotional art): AI-generated.
- Character portraits (captains): AI-generated.
- Store page copy: drafted with AI assistance, then edited and approved by the developer.
The in-game 3D models, sound effects, and music are licensed third-party assets (not AI-generated). No AI content is generated live while the game is running.
We cautiously use AI for extending our 2D elements such as icons. We always start with OUR art first. All in game 3D art is created by artists or uses asset packs from various asset stores.
AI tools were used during development to help with my terrible code, and to create the game’s splash screen, icon, Steam capsule artwork, and various store and marketing images. Although, I did draw up the references with my own big hands.
Some environment art is AI-generated (game background and level-select planet images). Gameplay models, UI, store capsules, and trailer footage are original. Code was written with AI assistance.
This game uses generative AI in the creation of the following content:
- Parts of the ending animations and still illustrations
- Parts of the scenario text
- UI artwork
- Store page assets such as the logo and key visual
- Store page text in languages other than Japanese
All generated assets were reviewed, selected and edited by our team before being included in the final build. No content is generated by AI while the game is running.
Voice lines and sound effects were produced with AI voice synthesis
(ElevenLabs) during development. Some character portraits and UI/VFX
textures were created with AI-assisted tools. All assets were reviewed,
edited and integrated by the developer.
No generative AI runs at runtime — the game ships only pre-generated,
fixed assets.
WarpRacer may include pre-generated visual assets created with assistance from generative AI tools. It does not use generative AI to create content or code during gameplay, and it does not connect to external AI services during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating and refining some of the visual assets used in the game. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the final game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
Voltwood was developed with AI assistance. Pre-generated AI content that ships in the game and on the store page includes: 3D unit, structure, and environment models generated with Meshy from our own concept art; 2D art generated with ChatGPT from the developer's direction, including store capsule art, the app icon and key art, menu artwork, and achievement icons; music generated with Mureka; sound effects and character voice lines generated with ElevenLabs; game code, UI icons, and interface and store-page translations authored with Anthropic Claude. All AI output was reviewed, curated, and integrated by the developer, and all of it is owned by the developer under the respective services' paid-tier terms.
AstralX uses generative AI only for some 2D illustrative images, primarily certain biome visuals and depictions of some races/species. The game contains well over 1,000 such visual elements, which is why generative AI was used to assist with part of this 2D artwork.
Generative AI is not used for the game's simulation, mathematical calculations, gameplay rules, mechanics, or underlying systems. These elements were designed and developed manually by the developer. 3D content is also not generated using AI.
The music was composed manually and performed by a real pianist. The sound design was likewise created through traditional human production rather than generative AI.
No generative AI is used dynamically during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with selected text content and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with artwork (item illustrations, backgrounds and UI art), audio, and localisation. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated and reviewed, edited and finished by the developer before it ships. Nothing is generated at runtime, and the game contains no AI features while you play.
Crimson Nova is designed by me and made using AI tools. Character art, backgrounds and full-screen illustrations were generated with AI image tools, then selected, edited, composited and animated by me. Voices and music were generated with AI audio tools, then edited and mixed by me. The seven non-English text versions are AI translations. The game does not generate any content while it is being played.
Generative AI tools helped create character portraits, illustrations, store and marketing artwork, music, sound effects, and player-facing text during development. These are pre-generated assets. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external generative AI services.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with in-game dialogue, Korean localization, programming, and store-page text and marketing materials. Orbit Foundry does not generate AI content or connect to AI services during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with coding, music, dialogue writing, and texture assets. All content has been reviewed and approved by the developer.
All the Localization, voiceovers/music, and many of the in-game textures were generated using AI.
The store page trailer and images are rendered inside the game itself, so indirectly they also contains those AI generated textures.
A note on why.
RaviWar 1 is the first part of a story that takes eight games to tell: RaviWar 1 & 2, and six shorter games set inside the same universe, under the name Tales of Takarek.
I am one person, with no studio and no funding behind me. Built the traditional way, a project that size would outlast me. These tools are the only way I can attempt it at all, and I would rather finish the whole story imperfectly than finish a fraction of it perfectly.
It is also why this game is free. I am not asking anyone to pay for AI generated work.
The design, the writing, the puzzles and the world are mine. As the project grows I intend to replace generated assets with commissioned ones.
Once again I am sorry.
Some marketing concept art (store page / website) was created with Leonardo.ai and is labelled as concept art. No AI-generated content ships in the game itself. Every mesh, texture, material and sound is generated procedurally by the game's own code at runtime.
Card illustrations, some environment backgrounds and promotional assets in this game were created with AI-assisted generation tools, then hand-picked, edited and post-processed by the team. No AI-generated content is produced at runtime; the game does not connect to any external AI service during gameplay.
AI tools were used only to check visual concepts, translate text into some languages, and create music placeholders. All such materials are currently significantly reworked by humans. By release, we plan to replace the music placeholders with original compositions and have the translations reviewed by human editors.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with programming and the creation of some visual assets. AI-generated and AI-assisted content may be included in the final game.
Pre-generated content only. Some 2D art assets in the game (planet, star and interface sprites) and the store page capsule artwork were produced using generative AI image tools, then edited, composited, colour-corrected and integrated by hand. No generative AI runs at runtime and no content is generated live during gameplay. All audio is either licensed under Creative Commons with attribution given in-game, or original.
The story outline, the characters, and the five branching endings were created by hand. On that basis, the script prose, the 357 background illustrations, the soundtrack and the sound effects were generated with AI and individually reviewed by the developer before inclusion; candidates that did not pass were discarded and are not in the game. The English and Japanese translations were produced with AI and spot-checked by the developer. The store artwork and trailer also use AI-generated images.
No AI runs while you play. All content is fixed at release.
Generative AI was used during production to create license icons and to assist with store descriptions and Chinese and English text. The icons were selected, edited and integrated as fixed assets. The AI use described here takes place during production.
