Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Part of the audio in this game is generated with AI: the music and some of the sound effects.
Part of the source code was also created with the help of AI during development, particularly to generate certain portions of code, fix errors, and assist with the implementation of certain features. The code used in the game is then reviewed, modified, and integrated manually.
Everything else is handmade: the monsters are drawn by hand and then recreated in 3D, the textures are hand-painted and sometimes slightly enhanced, the 3D models are procedural, every line of text in the game is written by me, the farmer's voice is mine, etc.
Almost all of the art in the game has been created by Alexandr Elichev, the artist of the original Gloomhaven board game. A few missing art assets for summoned creatures for characters for this game were generated with AI. We hope to be able to replace these with official art as time progresses (and when I have a stable job to be able to pay for this).
AI tools were used in a limited capacity to support coding, early prototyping, and the creation of a small number of icons. All AI-assisted elements were reviewed and refined by us.
We build Last Treasure Online with AI tools. Much of the code is written with AI, including shaders, scripts that model props and furniture in Blender, and scripts that synthesize sound effects and ambience. Most text in the game is AI generated, but all names, personalities, schedules, stories, lore, knowledge, etc is strongly scaffolded and enforced by us as designers. In play, NPCs speak through an AI language model on our server in order to talk about hundreds of subjects in different ways depending on what they know about them, you, the world, etc.... The model only rewords lines and facts we wrote: it cannot invent places, items, prices or quests, and players never type text into it. No images, textures, 3D models, music or sounds come from diffusion image, 3D or audio models. Characters and clothing are hand-painted, and the world's textures are photographs.
Artificial intelligence was used to create the game logo, assist with the game's translation into multiple languages, assist in writing and translating the game's description, and help estimate the system requirements.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of visual assets (backgrounds, character art, and UI elements), draft narrative ideas, and compose the background music. All generated visual and text materials were curated, manually edited, and refined by the developer.
The store page images for Timberland — the key art, capsules, logo and icon — were created with generative AI tools and then edited by hand. The screenshots are real gameplay, unretouched.
Part of the code was also written with the help of an AI assistant. Game design, world generation, mechanics and the remaining textures are the developer's own work.
Valdrys uses AI-generated content in one place: the login screen
background, a single static image of a moonlit ridge over a conifer
forest, generated with Google Gemini. It does not appear in gameplay.
Everything else in the game is hand-drawn, generated procedurally by
our own tools, or licensed from third-party artists under CC0, CC-BY
or commercial licences. All of it is credited on the in-game Credits
screen.
Parts of the game's code were written with the help of an AI coding
assistant. No AI-generated art, audio or written content ships in
Valdrys beyond the single background image described above.
Nothing in Valdrys generates content while the game is running.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create selected pre-generated textures, sound effects, and promotional artwork. These materials are used as individual components within the game and its marketing rather than being generated dynamically.
AI-assisted materials are selected, edited, adapted, composed, and integrated by the developer to fit the game's original visual and audio direction. The game's design, gameplay systems, implementation, world building, and overall creative direction are developed by the developer.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while running.
This game's early development utilized local AI systems for generating initial ideas and imagery surrounding the stage layouts and the initial musical passages, then further edited manually through various pieces of software (Art software and DAWs + numerous VSTs).
Era Echo is developed by a solo developer. Generative AI tools are used to assist with development and production (for example concepting, drafts, and iteration), which has helped make shipping a solo project practical. All shipped content is reviewed and directed by the developer.
I've been using Generative AI tools as part of development for things like programming assistance, troubleshooting, research, brainstorming, and some concept exploration.
ECHO//syntax is a work of mechanics made from love of the beat-em-up genre from CHROMAGEM. It is designed, directed, assembled, tested, and curated by me. I make the first and final decisions on the game's mechanics, characters, levels, visual direction, and overall design.
As a designer that's looking to get a particular feel and experience with this game, I'm looking through and making sure you're getting a good game to play and enjoy.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create character artwork, menu backgrounds, some 3D assets, and pre-rendered cinematic videos. AI-assisted tools were also used for programming and debugging. These assets are prepared before release and incorporated into the game.
This game may include developer-directed generative AI content used during development for select visual assets, concept art, marketing materials, store/community artwork, placeholder imagery, and/or edited production assets.
All AI-assisted content is reviewed, selected, edited, and implemented by the developer. The game does not use live generative AI to create gameplay, dialogue, or player-facing content at runtime.
CyberSprawl: Survivors contains pre-generated visual art, written content, sound effects, and other assets created or assisted with generative AI tools, then curated and integrated by the development team. Generative AI also assists development, including code. No AI generates content during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while you play.
Vestibule's pixel art was generated with an AI art tool, with every design directed, refined, and hand-edited by the developer. Individual trailer and cinematic clips were generated with an AI video tool, built from the game's own artwork and developer-written scene descriptions — the final edit, scene sequencing, and music timing were done manually by the developer in After Effects. All game design, systems, writing, and code are original work.
Generative AI was used to assist with localization and some written text, and to create selected artwork for official Steam Workshop content, including the abstract fallback cover in PULSE INDEX. ECHO does not generate content with AI during use or connect to external AI services during use.
Some character, enemy, and environment sprites in this game were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools during development. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the developers before inclusion.
AI was used for some code generation and as part of a technique for cleaning-up of 3D scans. 3D scans were created of real lightguns using both a laser based scanner and photogrammetry, and then both models were combined using a frontier AI model for a final clean 3D scan results with higher quality game-ready topography and polycounts.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some graphical and marketing assets for the game and its Steam store page. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and selected by the developer before being included in the final product.
Generative AI tools were used to create and edit selected pre-rendered visual assets, animations, and marketing materials. The game does not use live-generated AI content during gameplay.
Grimhold's artwork is created by commissioned human artists, and its music is human-made licensed audio. Generative AI tools were used to assist in writing portions of the game's descriptive text and creature lore. All gameplay, code, and design are human-made. The game does not generate any AI content during play and does not connect to external AI services.
This game uses AI-assisted tools in the development of certain in-game visuals
and assets. Additionally, AI tools were used to assist in the localization and
translation of in-game text content. All AI-generated content has been reviewed
and edited by the development team. No AI is used to generate content during
gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI services at runtime.
I use generative AI for some of the game’s visual assets, mainly things like ability icons, and for some of the promotional images on the Steam store page. I review and choose what actually gets used in the game. Nothing is generated by AI while the game is running.
During the development of Spacepawn, generative AI tools were used to speed up coding, create certain in-game visuals, and assist with localization (translations). As an indie developer, AI was utilized as a support tool to fill expertise gaps in non-programming areas such as art design and translation. All AI-generated content has been carefully reviewed and edited by us to ensure it aligns perfectly with the game's overall vision and integrity.
This game uses generative AI in the following ways.All of this content was created ahead of time — nothing is generated by AI while the game is running.- Draw-along song lyrics — generative AI produces the first drafts, and the developer reviews and hand-picks every song- The stroke order of each model drawing (its line-coordinate data) — same as above- Singing voices — synthesized with VOICEVOX (Shikoku Metan / Namine Ritsu) and Synthesizer V (Sheena 2, for the English songs), and shipped as pre-rendered audio files[What we don't do]- No image-generation AI is used. Every model drawing is rendered as lines from coordinate data- The game never connects to online AI services during play (the only network traffic is for online matches)
Some 2D visual assets and videos in the game may have been produced using AI‑assisted tools. Every AI‑generated element has been manually inspected, verified, and approved to ensure quality and consistency. All remaining content — such as 3D models, audio, effects, and programming — is fully handcrafted by human creators.
This game is currently in pre-alpha, and its visual assets are still evolving.
Generative AI has been used as part of the asset creation process to help achieve more detailed and varied visuals than a purely simplistic low-poly approach. AI-generated elements are extensively iterated, customized, and integrated specifically for this game under direct developer oversight.
The current assets should not be considered final. As development progresses, we plan to replace and improve them with better versions as the game's visual direction and production evolve.
