Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
The game's 2D artwork (character portraits, scenes, backgrounds) and music were created with generative AI tools, then curated and edited by the developer. Parts of the game's code and narrative text were written with AI assistance, under human direction, review and rewriting. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated during development: nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Generative AI was used as a production tool to help create selected visual and audio assets and to assist with refining some written content. The game’s concept, narrative direction, scenes, mechanics, and final presentation were defined, directed, reviewed, and edited by the developer. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
The art, audio, and writing in Refund Speedrun are created by hand. Generative AI was used only for the voice-over narration in our promotional teaser trailer (ElevenLabs). The game does not generate any content using AI at runtime.
Heartwood Incremental was made by a solo developer working alongside an AI assistant (Anthropic's Claude). The AI helped write the game's code, including the code that procedurally draws its pixel-art sprites, tree, and icons, and helped draft written content such as upgrade, achievement, and store text. Everything was directed, reviewed, and refined by the human developer, and hand-checked before release. No generative AI runs while you play: nothing is created on your device at runtime, and all art and text are fixed in the build.
Generative AI was used during production of some visual and audio assets. All generated material is selected, directed, edited, and integrated through a human-led creative process. The game does not generate content with AI during play.
Corelink Protocol uses generative AI as part of its creative workflow, including artwork, sprites, music, and certain development assets. All AI‑assisted content is manually reviewed and refined before being included in the game. No content is generated live during gameplay; everything is pre‑produced to ensure a consistent and curated player experience.
AI-assisted. Developer-directed. Generative AI was used as a production tool during development: Claude assisted with prototyping and implementation, while Google Lyria was used to create the game's original 15-track soundtrack. The music and all other AI-assisted material were selected, edited, integrated, and play-tested by the developer to serve Boiler & Blood's dieselpunk folk-occult world.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence in the following ways: pixel character artwork and background images. AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or store page.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with visual assets, in-game text, localization, and programming. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, tested, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI is used while the game is running.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the game's custom C# code, gameplay systems, UI structure and layout, in-game written content, official word list, localization in nine languages, and draft store-page copy.
All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed, edited, tested, and integrated by the developer. Visual art, icons, fonts, music, and sound effects are separately licensed third-party assets.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
I use generative AI tools in the development of OXYTOPIA. All AI output is directed, reviewed, and edited by me before it ships.
What AI is used for:
Branding art — the game's logo and app/store icons were designed with the help of AI models and are rendered in-engine as original vector/code artwork.
Source code — parts of the game's code were written with AI coding assistants.
What is not AI-generated: the in-game gameplay art (tiles, characters, buildings, items, plants) and all audio are hand-made or licensed from human creators.
At runtime: OXYTOPIA generates no content with AI while you play, and no player data is ever sent to any AI service during gameplay.
As this is a solo-developed project, I have utilized generative AI assistants for the writing, debugging, and structuring of the game's programming code.
Additionally, AI has been used in a very minor and complementary capacity for some secondary environmental visual elements. The vast majority of the core artistic assets, art direction, game design, 3D modeling, and overall experience have been entirely hand-crafted and assembled.
Some of the graphics and illustrations used in the game were created with the help of generative AI and have been reviewed and edited by the developers. Generative AI is not used during gameplay.
Pre-generated AI: GPT Image 2 was used during development to create 2D paper-cut-style images included in the app, including weather phenomena, collectible visitors, ecosystem entities, Steam achievement icons, and key art for Steam store capsules and library assets. The developer selected and edited these images, including cropping, background removal, color and alpha cleanup, and export. The app does not use generative AI at runtime.
AI was used to help develop parts of the game such as code, formulas, and concepts. Game origination, development, assets, and management was solely led by human solo developer. There is no use of AI during any active play of this game.
This game uses generative AI for some pre-generated content. Specifically, generative AI tools were used in the creation of some in-game background/wallpaper assets and some in-game background music. All such content has been reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not use live-generated AI content during gameplay.
Global Plates uses generative AI in limited, development-time ways only:
• Music: the game's soundtrack was created using AI music generation tools, then selected and edited by the developer.
• Store page artwork: the key art is based on real screenshots rendered directly from the game, stylized with AI image tools.
All other content — 3D environments, machines, characters, and game design — was hand-crafted by the developer or licensed from professional asset libraries. The game does not use generative AI at runtime: nothing is AI-generated while you play.
The AI model has been fine-tuned with multiple safety measures — including prompt restrictions, keyword filtering, and compliance safeguards — to ensure all generated content remains appropriate.
If you encounter any inappropriate or non-compliant content during gameplay, please report it to our support team, and we will promptly review and make the necessary adjustments.
Thank you for your understanding!
AI tools were used in writing the game's code. No AI generated images, music, audio, or models were used. All artwork is Public-Domain paintings from famous, historical artists.
Nothing to Declare is a handcrafted game by a solo developer: all pixel art was drawn by the developer (AI images served only as composition references early in production and do not appear in the game), and the store images are actual in-game screenshots. The dialogue and case writing were created with the assistance of generative AI — always under the developer's direction, curation, and manual editing, to ensure accuracy regarding rules and legal citations based on actual Brazilian law. No content is generated by AI while you play.
Pre-generated AI content is used in the following ways, with every piece reviewed, edited, and placed by hand by the developer:
Voice acting: character voice lines (the tutorial narrator and tenant voices) are generated with AI text to speech from scripts written by the developer.
2D artwork: some in-game 2D art (such as the travel map illustration and map icons) and some marketing and store page artwork (capsule backgrounds and logo concepts) started from AI generated images that were then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer.
Generative AI was used exclusively for marketing and promotional materials. This includes the store page capsule art, translations and the background music featured in the promotional trailer.
No AI generated assets, imagery or audio are used within the actual game build, game screenshots or gameplay experience.
For complete transparency with our players, here is our stance on how this game is built:
1. Human Craftsmanship First
Human creativity and hands-on talent are always our highest priority. Where development is handled by skilled creators and artists, the work is crafted traditionally. AI is never used to replace active human contribution.
2. Bridging the Resource Gap
Where specialized resources, budgets, or personnel are missing, we use AI tools to bridge the gaps and keep development moving forward. As an independent project, we do not have the luxury of waiting on corporate budgets; we use every tool available to ensure the game actually gets finished and delivered to you.
3. Moving Forward, Never Backward
Our development philosophy is built on momentum. We will never delay updates, halt progress, or backtrack to remove or replace AI-assisted elements just to appease online discourse. If the game secures funding or high sales down the line, those resources will be used exclusively to hire real people to build new features, content, and expansions. We only move forward.
The Bottom Line
We refuse to let a lack of corporate backing stop us from making a great game. We choose to embrace the tools of the future to deliver a unique RTS experience today. If you value raw independent drive, transparency, and a studio focused entirely on delivering great gameplay "by any means necessary," thank you for your support.
This game uses AI-generated artwork for store page assets, including capsule images,
promotional graphics, and character illustrations. The game logo and visual marketing
materials were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools.

Generative artificial intelligence has been used to generate store page thumbnails based on the developers artwork. All in game artwork has been drawn by hand by the developer.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in the creation of certain visual assets, including some textures and artwork featured in story sequences. All generated assets were reviewed, modified where necessary, and curated by the development team before inclusion in the game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
The masterpieces featured in this game are real public-domain paintings, digitized from high-resolution scans. They are not AI-generated.
Generative AI was used only in the following areas: some artwork other than the masterpieces (UI, characters, backgrounds), some sound, and localization.
Every visual asset in the game is an open-source, licensed, open-source pixel icon, or a real in-game render. no AI image production. Some of the game codes were written with AI-assisted development tools under the direct supervision of the developer, and localization was human-inspired for all sentences after machine translation initials. There is no real-time AI creation in the game
Fish species artwork in Swimcraft is pre-rendered AI-generated imagery. All venue photography is the developer's own, and all audio, UI and game code are non-generated. No AI content is generated live during play.
The game is hanadcrafted by very talented individuals in our team. But as a small studio that is still learning and growing, we leveraged AI to aid us in production. We used AI to generate a few textures for the game. Having said that, we assure everyone that the final game is a result of the hardwork and dedication of a very talented and passionate team.
