The core art direction and a portion of the artwork were hand-drawn by the developer, and AI was used to produce additional assets in a matching style, which were then reviewed, edited and integrated by hand. The game's music was generated with AI tools. No AI content is generated live while the game is running.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create code, 2D art and text, including draft translations. The developer directed, selected and assembled all of it into the game.
No generative AI runs while you play. Meridian, your companion, is scripted rather than a chatbot, and the game sends nothing to AI services. Planets come from the game's own procedural generator, not an AI model.
Generative AI tools were used to create store artwork and portions of in-game text, customer support dialogue, and German/English localization during development. Development also used AI-assisted programming. The current build does not generate content during gameplay or connect to an external AI service.
Generative AI was used to assist with some pre-generated 2D artwork. All AI-assisted assets were selected, edited and integrated by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used in a limited capacity during development to assist with some audio and visual elements. The vast majority of the game's content was created by our team.
Translation: AI tools assisted with translating the game's text into Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and French. The English text, all art, music and sound are made by hand.
The booth announcer's voice (Chuck Baseball) is generated with ElevenLabs from a script written by the developers. AI tools also assisted with translating the game's text into Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and French.
AI tools were used in a limited capacity for a few prop images such as the photographs in the main house, and translation of some Javanese writings. All AI-assisted content was carefully reviewed and approved by humans to ensure it was appropriate and respectful, the final product is a reflection of our own cultural identity and creativity.
Generative AI was used during development to create in-game collectible cover artwork, as well as store and marketing artwork and text. These assets are prepared in advance. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to a live AI service.
Pre-generated AI content was used for some menu and HUD artwork, promotional images, and recorded narrator and radio voice clips. These assets were reviewed and integrated during development. The game does not generate AI content at runtime or connect to external AI services.
Generative AI was used during development to create, pixel artwork, music and written content under our concept and design direction. The game contains pre-generated content only; it does not generate AI content during play.
Some sprite artwork was created with generative AI tools during development. SPLIT-S does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
This game was made by a solo developer with the help of generative AI tools. AI was used to create the store page images and videos, the in-game audio and visual assets, language translations, and the majority of the code. The game concept, design, and every gameplay decision are my own, and I reviewed and refined all AI-generated content.
Our visual style relies on a blend of commissioned artwork, curated assets, and custom designs. We occasionally use AI generation as a tool in our creative process, but never as a final product. Every AI-assisted asset is either fully redrawn or heavily refined by human artists before making its way into the game.
Bringing together, refining, reviewing and coordinating the different disciplines into a functional complete game. All content was integrated into the development process, tested and aligned with the overall project before becoming part of the released version.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the localization of in-game text into multiple languages. All AI-assisted translations were reviewed, edited and integrated manually by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay. Visual and audio assets were not generated using AI.
This game uses a mix of human and generative AI tools. AI was used in some visual art assets, code generation, and portions of the store page text. All writing in the game, voice acting, and music are fully human-created.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some in-game images, textures, dialogue, store page text, and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and implemented by the developer. No live-generated AI content is used during gameplay.
AI tools assisted with the game's code and some written text during development. All artwork comes from the game's own engine, being web code. The music is composed by Juhani Junkala, and nothing is generated while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some pre-generated visual artwork. AI-assisted artwork is substantially edited, painted over, composited, and finalized by the developer before inclusion in the game. No generative AI is used to create content during gameplay.
Serv-Bot's Firewall uses AI tools in its art and media pipeline, always under human direction and review:
Sprite art. The game's original hand-authored sprites were upscaled and repainted at native resolution with an image-editing model (Qwen-Image-Edit), then reviewed, corrected and in many cases restored to the originals by hand. Concept art for the six "arsenal" enemy types, the Serv-Bot HUD portraits and the achievement icon motifs were generated with local image models (Z-Image Turbo, Qwen-Image-Edit) from our own designs and reference art, then composited and finished in code. Canon elements such as the Greeb ship in the icons are the game's own sprite art, not generated.
Cutscenes. The in-game story videos come from our SIGNAL series. Keyframes were generated with a local image model trained on our own characters, motion with a local video model (Wan 2.2), narration with a text-to-speech model (Kokoro) and music with local music models (ACE-Step, Stable Audio Open). Scripts, story, character designs, editing and direction are ours.
Localization. Interface text in 28 languages was machine-translated with an AI model from our English source and has not yet been reviewed by native speakers.
Code. Parts of the game's code were written with AI coding assistance, reviewed and tested by the developer.
Sound effects are procedurally synthesised, not AI-generated. All AI generation ran on the developer's own hardware; no copyrighted third-party works were used as inputs beyond our own assets and characters.
The game contains pre-generated artwork and AI-assisted narrative/localization created during development under human direction.
The assets were iteratively selected, composed, edited and reviewed for this project.
Prompts requested generic original fantasy subjects and did not request existing characters, logos, or the imitation of a named living artist.
No generative AI service runs during gameplay and players cannot submit prompts.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with some promotional/store artwork, minor code edits, and the improvement and iteration of some music. AI-generated content is not created dynamically during gameplay.
PROF-MAN contains pre-generated visual artwork and voice audio created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Visual assets were created and directed by the developer and subsequently edited and refined as part of the game's art production process. The Professor's voice was created using ElevenLabs. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
AI Generated Content Disclosure
Generative AI tools were used to create some of the game's visual assets, audio elements, and code during development:
Visuals & Art: Title artwork, in-game graphic assets.
Audio: Background music (BGM) and sound effects (SFX).
Code: Generative AI was used to assist in writing parts of the code.
Some of the in-game background images and the store Capsule image art assets in this game were created using pre-rendered generative AI tools. These assets were then reviewed, refined, and integrated by our development team to fit the game's artistic vision
Gemini was used to create two backgrounds that I later blurred and two non-blurred backgrounds for the game's menus.
I'm a one-person developer. That means I do everything; and some of it I'm just bad at. I use AI as a tool to cover the gaps: the tasks I hate, the stuff I'd waste hours on just to replace later. The tools don't make the art. Every idea and decision, everything that made it into this game came from me.
Some AI tools were used during development to assist with code, artwork, and audio production. All content was reviewed, edited and assembled by the developer.
No generative AI is used during live gameplay. During our development process we use generative AI for some algorithms, pixel art, some marketing content and where appropriate to improve code quality.
The branching narrative in FOREST QUEST '88 was generated during development using a locally-run AI language model (an offline Dolphin/LLaMA-family model via Ollama). All AI-generated text was produced ahead of time, then reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being baked into the finished game as fixed, hand-checked content. The shipped game contains no live AI generation — it plays back a static, pre-authored story. No player data is sent to any AI service; the game runs fully offline.
This game has been created by a solo developer with 30 years of experience. It is not until now with the assistance of generative AI coding that I have been able to truly bring my visions to life in a timely manor. I hope you enjoy it.
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).
AI was used to assist with artwork as I am a solo dev with a very limited budget, however all final assets integrated into the game were manually refined and processed. All instances of AI will be removed as sales open up
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.
This game does not use live-generated AI during gameplay.
Some pre-generated content in the game was created with assistance from generative AI tools during development, including portions of written text, game data, music arrangement ideas, and pixel-art implementation support.
