All AI-generated content is pre-generated and incorporated during development; the game does not use live generative AI during gameplay.
Pre-rendered Content:
Generative AI tools and agentic AI development workflows were utilized during the creation of this game to assist in:
- Code & Systems: Writing and optimizing core gameplay logic, typescript structures, and simulation algorithms.
- Visual Assets: Creating and pre-rendering all visual assets used in-game, including boot screen artworks, drive interfaces, and graphical components.
- Localization: Translating and reviewing in-game text and UI labels.
Please note that all AI-assisted assets and code were pre-rendered and compiled during the development phase. The game runs entirely locally and does not perform any real-time (live) AI generation, nor does it connect to any external AI APIs or services during gameplay.
This game's music was created with the assistance of generative AI. The interface and Enemy Guide text were also translated into multiple languages with AI assistance, alongside human review. No AI-generated artwork or gameplay code ships in the final game.
Some of the game's 2D artwork, including character, enemy and boss sprites, item icons, and backgrounds, was created using generative AI tools. All such assets were individually reviewed, selected, polished and integrated by the development team.
Certain visual assets incorporated into the final product were subject to a multi-stage development, revision, and production process involving, at intermediate stages of asset preparation, generative AI-assisted material, together with subsequent developer-directed editing, alteration, reconstruction, and final implementation.
HaddyForge utilizes PixelLab AI as part of our development workflow to assist with the prototyping and production of select pixel-art sprites, character concepts, and animation frames.
AI-assisted output is primarily used as a starting point for development and is not typically considered game-ready in its initial form. Assets are reviewed, refined, edited, and iterated upon by the developer using PixelLab, Aseprite, and our broader pixel-art workflow until they meet the visual, animation, and technical requirements of the game.
As an independent studio combining pixel-art creation and software development, HaddyForge uses AI-assisted tools to accelerate experimentation and prototyping while maintaining direct creative control over the final assets included in the game.
AI-assisted development tools have also been used during software development to help review and iterate on game systems, identify potential bugs, improve testing, and increase development efficiency. All resulting game systems and implementations are reviewed, tested, and integrated by the developer before release.
AI was used on a limited basis to assist with the refinement of certain visual designs. All VHS artwork and other licensed imagery is based on artwork created by human artists, and we hold the appropriate licenses for all third-party images used.
Text content only, all pre-generated during development and reviewed by the developer. AI assistance was used to write the in-game story text, the user interface translations for the 8 supported languages, the achievement names and descriptions, and the store page copy. Nothing is generated live at runtime and the game does not connect to any AI service. Art, sprites, capsule images, icons and the soundtrack are NOT AI-generated: they are produced by procedural scripts written by the developer and included in the project source.
Generative AI was used in parts of this project: the animated story cutscenes were brought to life with AI tools from original artwork drawn by the developer; the game's music, most of its sound effects, some in-game images such as the main menu, its logo and some promotional material, the store-page translations, and the English and Turkish in-game text were also created with generative AI tools. The gameplay itself — its systems, characters, environments and screenshots — is authentic and shows the real game. No AI is used to generate content during gameplay.
During development, we used Google Gemini AI to assist in generating narrative elements, such as item descriptions and quest lore. While the core story and world-building were meticulously designed by our human team, AI helped us expand the depth and variety of in-game text. All AI-assisted content has been thoroughly reviewed and edited by our developers to ensure quality and consistency.
