Green vs Tan was built with AI-assisted development tools under human direction. Every design decision was made and reviewed by a person.
The art you see while playing is not shipped as image files. The soldiers, vehicles, carpet and bosses are drawn procedurally by the game's own code, and the sound effects are synthesized as they play.
Some of our store and marketing artwork was AI-assisted and human-curated.
No content is generated by AI while you play, and the game never calls out to an AI service.
Generative AI was used in the following ways:
• The title logo on our store capsule images was created with an AI image
tool. Everything else in those images is real footage from the running game.
• The trailer narration was written with AI assistance and voiced using
ElevenLabs text-to-speech.
• Some in-game text event descriptions, help and interface copy was
written with AI assistance and edited by hand.
The game itself is not AI-generated. The world simulation, the voxel terrain
and its creatures, and all in-game art are hand-built. Sound effects and music
are licensed from stock audio libraries. Nothing is generated while you play.
Generative AI tools were used in the creation of certain art assets, audio materials and descriptive text during game development. All AI-generated content has been manually reviewed, edited and integrated by the developer. No new content is dynamically generated by AI while the game is running.
This game contains pre-generated AI-assisted visual assets, including promotional images, icons, artwork, character portraits, and some UI elements. No live or runtime AI is used during gameplay. All gameplay, mechanics, code, and player interactions are handcrafted.
This game utilized generative AI tools to assist with code writing and creative design during development. All AI-generated content has been strictly tested, reviewed, and optimized to ensure game quality and stability.
The game's design, rules, simulation, scenarios, and text are all authored by people. Some event background illustrations and background music were produced with generative tools run in-house by the development team, and every asset was then accepted or rejected by a human. The game does not generate any content while it runs.
Operation: Horumus is a "vibe coding" experiment. Most of the game's content — code, game design, pixel art, sound effects, procedural music, narrative writing, and all four language localizations (English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese) — was developed with extensive use of generative AI tools, under the developer's direction. Every creative and technical decision was made by the developer, and all AI-generated output was reviewed and curated before inclusion.
No AI is invoked during gameplay. The game runs entirely offline and makes no calls to external AI services.
This is a parody experiment, and the use of AI is part of the experiment itself. We disclose it here so you can decide whether that approach is interesting to you.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence in part to improve development efficiency.
It is primarily utilized to assist with programming implementation and development tasks, as well as for generating BGM melodies and assisting in the creation of in-game messages.
However, all final decisions regarding game specifications and quality control are made by the developer, and only AI-generated content that has been reviewed and adjusted by human hands is used.
Parts of this game's source code and in-game text were produced with the assistance of generative AI tools during development.
The planet itself is not AI-generated. It is built by conventional deterministic algorithms : noise functions, Voronoi tessellation, plate tectonics, erosion and climate simulation (the same family of techniques used in procedural generation for decades. Every world is reproducible from its seed).
No AI runs while you play, and the game never connects to an external AI service.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence in its development.
Some visual assets — including character sprites, unit artwork, and related
game graphics — were created or assisted with generative AI tools and then
integrated into the game. AI was also used during development to assist with
programming and production workflows.
Generative AI is not used to create content live during gameplay. The game
does not connect to external AI services while you are playing.
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 of the game's 2D artwork (illustrations, icons, and backgrounds) was created with the assistance of generative AI tools and then curated and edited by the development team. Some non-English text is translated with AI assistance and reviewed before shipping. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.
Blast Arena does not use AI to generate gameplay, code, or real-time content. Artificial intelligence was only used during development to help create certain promotional and marketing assets, such as concept art and store visuals. All in-game content and player experiences are fully handcrafted and not AI-generated.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating certain promotional and store page artwork. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Some of Stick Legion's in-game text and promotional materials were created with the help of generative AI tools, all reviewed and edited by the developer. The game performs no live AI generation during play.
These translations were generated with the help of AI. As an indie developer, I currently don't have the budget to hire professional translators, but I hope to do so in the future.
Some pre-generated visual assets and localization text were created with the assistance of generative AI and were reviewed and edited by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Our Policy on AI & Procedural Generation
Valenfeld is built by one person, on a shoestring budget, with an Elder Scrolls–sized ambition. Here is exactly how, and why, AI fits into that.
Why we use it
Valenfeld is a solo indie project chasing a scope that normally takes a studio of dozens: a massive, hand-lorekept world you can wander for years without hitting an edge. That scope is not achievable by one person typing every tree, every ruin, and every line of dialogue by hand on a shoestring budget and an ambitious timeline. So we lean on AI-enabled workflows and, more importantly, cutting-edge procedural algorithms to scale content production and world scale to match the ambition — not to replace it.
What always stays human
Every piece of content in the game — every place, character, creature, item, quest, and line of lore — is built and overseen by a human creator and judge, grounded in our own ideas, our own lore, and our own systems design. AI does not decide what Valenfeld is. It never originates the world's canon, its themes, or its design intent on its own; it accelerates producing what we've already decided the world should be, and everything it touches is reviewed before it ships.
Not AI slop — procedural generation is the point
We're not interested in dumping raw model output into the game and calling it done. Our actual goal is an experimental, large-scale world built on cutting-edge procedural algorithms — terrain, dungeons, towns, ecosystems, even history — designed to be massively replayable for years, not a one-and-done AI slideshow. AI-assisted tooling is one part of the production pipeline that gets us there faster on a small budget; the procedural systems and the authored lore they run on are the actual craft, and that's where our attention to detail goes.
Our bet
We believe that if we focus relentlessly on delivering the best game possible — with a genuinely obsessive eye for detail on everything we ship — we can produce something great on a low budget and a small team of one. That is the bar we hold ourselves to, not "shipped fast" or "shipped cheap."
As we grow
This is how we build today, as a solo project with an ambitious scope and timeline. If and when Valenfeld earns a bigger budget for this game or for future releases, we intend to keep building just as ambitiously — with a team of art, lore, and gameplay experts working alongside these same tools, not replaced by them. Thinking about the best possible game comes first; everything else, including how we scale to build it, follows from that.
