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 artwork, videos, music, sound effects, and translations during development. No AI content is generated during gameplay. The game does not connect to external AI services during gameplay.
This game includes AI-generated content created during development.
Character portraits, illustrations and store artwork were generated with an image model and curated by the developer. Background music was generated with Google Lyria and contains SynthID watermarking.
Translations were produced with AI assistance. No AI content is generated while you play.
Some of the store artwork, the game icon and some sound effects were created with generative AI tools and then edited by hand before release. The simulation, the program code, the 3D models and the text in the game were made without generative AI. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
We used generative AI during development. The title logo image was created with a
generative AI image tool. Sound effects in the game and in the trailer are synthesised
by a script that was written with AI coding assistance. The nine non-Japanese interface
translations and the store text were produced by AI. AI coding assistance was used
throughout development. The game does not generate any content with AI while it runs.
Generative AI was used during development to create visual and 3D assets, background music, sound effects, and localized text, including store and marketing materials. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with character artwork, educational text, translations, musical compositions, and store and marketing materials. This content was prepared during development. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
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.
The game utilizes AI-generated content (such as concept illustrations, capsule art, and certain user interface asset variations) during the development process to enhance visual presentation.
During development, some of the game's art assets were created with the help of AI image-generation tools, then curated, adjusted, and integrated by hand. The game does not generate any AI content in real time during play.
Visual assets and music in Homeward on the Wind were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed and refined by the development team. The game does not generate content in real time. All storylines, choices, and interactions are pre-designed.
Generative AI was used in a limited and disclosed way while making this game.
Artwork: the logo and wordmark were created with the help of a generative
AI image tool, then edited, recoloured and assembled by hand into the store
and library artwork you see here.
Text: parts of this store page description were drafted with AI assistance
and edited before publication.
Nothing in the game itself is generated by AI. The match engine, the
simulation, the player and club database, the match commentary and every
other piece of in-game text are hand-built and hand-written. The game does
not call any AI service, and no content is generated while you play.
Part of the artwork in this game was generated using AI image tools and then edited by us. Being a tiny team, those tools are what made this project possible.
Generative AI was used to assist in writing and translating the text descriptions for this store page. All in-game assets and code were created by human developers.
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.
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.
Generative AI tools were used exclusively to create static, pre-generated illustrative images for the application's Tips section and Steam store/marketing assets. These are the only AI-generated materials included with the product or presented to users. NitroCore Synapse does not generate AI content at runtime and does not connect to external AI services.
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.
