hey guys. i used ai to code efficently. no ai generated art inside. have fun!

AI was used for localization and translation.

This game makes limited, supplementary use of generative AI tools during development. The primary uses are programming assistance (such as debugging), certain image and audio assets, and assistance with translating text into English. Generated image and audio assets are not used as-is. The development team reviews their content and makes additions, revisions, edits, and other adjustments to ensure that they are appropriately refined and fit the game. For text translated with the assistance of generative AI, the development team reviews the context and content and makes any necessary revisions before using it in the game. Please note that generative AI does not generate any game content 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.

Generative artificial intelligence was used to assist with background materials

Artificial intelligence has been used for some parts of the art.

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.

All AI-assisted content has been thoroughly reviewed and edited by our developers to ensure quality and consistency.

AI helped us create our new logo, and we used Claude Code to help us with... the code, bro. Otherwise, the game's hand-made! Our world is entering a troubling and hilarious time, and so critical reflection is important - but we are not categorically anti-AI. After all, you can't criticize something you don't understand, can you?

The game's software architecture, logic scripts, and localization texts were drafted and optimized during the development process with the assistance of Rosebud AI. All assets, graphics, and code within the final application package are static, pre-rendered, and permanently compiled. No live or real-time AI generation occurs during gameplay, and the application does not connect to any external AI services.

This game contains pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI, including selected visual assets, music, sound effects, and written content.

Музыка, а так же некоторые изображения были сгенерированы с помощью ИИ

Some visual assets used in Retro TV Tycoon were created with the assistance of generative AI. Specifically, AI-generated imagery is used for some of the fictional thumbnail artwork displayed in the **TV Catalog** and **Film Archives** sections of the game. These images are pre-generated assets created during development and are not generated dynamically while the game is running. Generative AI is not used to generate gameplay, player interactions, or live content. The AI-assisted images are used solely as visual illustrations and thumbnails representing fictional television programs and films within the game's catalog and archive interfaces.
