Some in-game artwork—including characters, monsters, weapons, backgrounds, card illustrations, and UI assets—as well as some store page images, was created using pre-generated AI tools. All generated assets were selected, edited, adjusted, and reviewed by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Pre-generated only. Generative AI assisted in creating some art, music, SFX, and localization during development, all developer-reviewed. No live AI content in the shipped game.
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.
This game's localization (including English text) was created with the assistance of AI translation tools, reviewed by the developer. No AI-generated content is created live during gameplay.
Some visual and audio assets were created or assisted using AI tools, then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game's story, gameplay mechanics, dialogue, programming, and overall design were created by the developer.
This game uses generative AI to create part of its content:
- Art and sprites: generated with AI tools and manually edited in Photoshop.
- Intro cinematic: generated with Google Veo 3 and Flow, then edited.
- Some sound effects: generated or processed with AI tools, combined with recorded and licensed library sounds.
- Code assistance: parts of development were assisted by language models (Claude).
All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does NOT use AI at runtime: all content is pre-rendered.
This game uses AI-generated artwork for static marketplace listing images including cars, homes, investment properties, boats, and businesses shown in the Assets and Business panels, as well as for Steam achievement icons. All AI-generated content is created during development and shipped as fixed image files. The game does not generate any content live during gameplay and does not connect to any AI service while you play.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating and refining some promotional artwork for the Steam store page and related marketing materials. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed and edited by the developer. No generative AI content is used in the game itself, and no content is generated during gameplay.
We utilize AI technology to enhance development efficiency and provide a broader experience for our players. Our use of AI is categorized as follows:
Art & Visuals: AI tools are used strictly for initial concept generation and as reference material. No AI-generated visual assets are used "as-is" in the final game. Every image is manually refined, repainted, and finalized by our artists to ensure a unique and high-quality aesthetic.
Sound & Coding: We utilize AI-assisted tools to optimize backend code performance and assist in sound engineering, allowing us to focus on core gameplay stability and mechanics.
In all areas, we are committed to transparency and will continue to update and polish the game's content based on player input and professional review.
Thug Arena was made with the use of AI and LLMs to generate many of the graphical assets. The game was made by two brothers in our spare time, and none of us are artists or can afford to pay artists for this game. We have used AI creatively to get to a style we liked for the game including most but not all assets, such as trees, buildings, pedestrians and weapons.
AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation and editing of some visual assets, including characters, UI icons, and background elements. Some assets created or edited with the assistance of AI tools are included in the game.
- All in-game art was hand-drawn by several artists
- The game cover and logo were hand-drawn by an artist
- Translations from English into other languages were partially done using artificial intelligence, because hiring professional translators is expensive for us, and they often rely heavily on AI for their translations. So if you notice an error in the text, please let us know so we can correct it.
- Some of the background music was created using AI
Generative AI was used to assist with artwork concept drafts, music ideation, localization, and code-writing during development. All final content was reviewed and curated by the developer.
CivEconomy: Future Leader uses locally-running AI for two optional gameplay features. All AI processing runs entirely on the player's machine — no data is sent to external servers.
Text AI (Command Processing): An on-device language model (Llama 3.2 1B via Ollama) interprets natural language player commands and classifies them into game actions. A keyword-matching fallback system works identically without AI enabled.
Image AI (Chieftain Portraits): An on-device Stable Diffusion 1.5 model generates decorative chieftain portrait images. These are purely cosmetic with no gameplay impact.
Both features are completely optional. The game is fully functional and playable without any AI features active.
This game contains pre-generated visual, audio, and text assets created with generative AI and selected, directed, edited, and integrated by the developer. It does not use live-generated AI content during gameplay.
Artificial intelligence tools were used throughout development, assisting with the game’s programming as well as the creation of capsule artwork and other minor graphical assets.
During development, generative AI tools were used in the production of selected character sprites, backgrounds, CG illustrations, UI artwork, title logos, icons, and music. All AI-assisted assets were generated before release. The developer selected, directed, edited, composited, resized, recolored, and integrated these assets into the final game. Some production assets were also created directly or obtained from commercially licensed stock sources.
No generative AI runs during gameplay, and players cannot generate AI content through the game.
AI tools were used to assist with early visual ideation and development production pipelines. All content has been reviewed, edited, refined, and integrated by the development team.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating some pre-generated art assets, including portions of card artwork, UI decorations, and store marketing imagery. All AI-assisted assets are reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not use generative AI to generate content while running.
Character portraits, scene art, and voice performances were generated with licensed AI tools (PixelLab, ElevenLabs) under paid subscriptions, then curated, edited, and directed by hand.
The soundtrack is built on the developer's original compositions, produced and arranged with Suno under a paid subscription.
All game design, writing, and code are human-made. No AI generation occurs at runtime.
Some pre-created content in SPELLSTEEL was developed with the assistance of generative AI as part of a human-directed creative process. SPELLSTEEL does not use generative AI to generate gameplay content or player-facing content in real time.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating some 2D art assets, including certain environment backgrounds, UI decorations, item icons, and store promotional images. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer as pre-generated game assets. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or send player input or personal data to generative AI services.
Parts of this game's artwork and audio were created with the help of generative AI tools and then selected, edited and assembled by hand.

During development we used generative AI in a few places. A large language model helped write some of the game's text (in-game descriptions, events, and store copy). The music and many of the sound effects were created with Adobe Firefly, while some other sounds are generated in real time by the game's own code. The app icon was also created with Adobe Firefly. The in-game graphics are drawn procedurally by the game's code and are not AI-generated. Nothing is generated by AI while you play: every AI-assisted asset is created during development and shipped as a fixed file. The generative AI tools used (Adobe Firefly) grant commercial usage rights.
Lo-Fi with Ruka includes optional live generative AI features. Players may provide their own DeepSeek and StepFun API keys to generate short companion chat replies, personalized study-story chapters, and synthesized voice. These features are disabled without player-provided keys. Prompts, the current focus goal or status, and limited recent non-sensitive study context are sent only to the selected providers. API keys and generated content remain local and are not uploaded to Steam Cloud.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of the game’s code, including implementation, debugging, refactoring, and testing.
