Generative AI was used only for localization. As a solo developer, I used AI tools to translate the game's text into other languages, which would not have been possible for me otherwise. All artwork, audio, and gameplay content were created without generative AI.
Made by one developer with a little help from AI! Some artwork and text started life in generative AI tools, then got edited and polished by hand. Nothing is generated while you play.
This game contains content created with the assistance of AI tools. AI was used during development to assist with programming, visual assets, and other creative elements. All generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the dev.
Some of the artwork and all original background music in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed and checked for copyright compliance before release.
The game does not generate any AI content in real time during gameplay, nor does it connect to any external AI services. All consumable content is pre-generated during development and distributed as part of the game.
The key art, story illustrations, kingdom portraits, music, opening film, menu video and its narration were produced with generative AI tools (Ideogram, Lyria, Seedance, Kling and ElevenLabs, through Artlist) and then selected, edited and assembled by the developer. The 3D map, units and buildings are procedural low-poly models built in code, and the sound effects are synthesised in the game. The game was written with the help of an AI coding assistant. No content is generated while the game is running; everything is pre-generated and shipped in the build. No real people's likenesses or voices are used.
AI was used as an interface and scripting assistant for industry standard tools such as Reaper, Godot, Blender, Aseprite, and Deepl for enhancing the quality and consistency of the game content and building systems I otherwise would not have the capacity to design and implement as solo developer.
Where possible, artists are and will continue to be supported via use of their paid or free assets. For this game, the most money spent was on Quaternius source level packages.
Notable exception to this is the UI, which was generated using RetroDiffusion with a python pipeline built in house for consistent design around UI elements using color normalization and targeting from a theme palette, which is then imported and tweaked in Godot.
I've spent years developing *Tenants of the Shade*, and our team has devoted thousands of hours to programming, artwork, and music. We also use generative AI tools to assist with editing and creating select assets, including some in-game icons and 3D models, as well as promotional materials.
The game is still in development, and these assets may change before release. We welcome questions about our creative process on Discord or in the Steam Community forums.
Generative AI was used to create some pre-rendered artwork, including store and promotional art and selected in-game visuals such as terrain, resources, animals, and characters, as well as some music and audio assets. These assets are prepared before play. Arid Frontiers does not generate content with AI during gameplay or connect to a third-party generative AI service during play; pawn behavior, colony simulation, combat, wildlife, and events are driven by programmed game systems.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with localization and the creation of some game assets. Generative AI is not used to generate content during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services during execution.
Generative AI was used during development to create artwork, music and sound assets, including artwork used on the store page. AI also assisted with story development, alongside substantial writing and editing by the developer. All of this content was created before release. The game does not generate AI content or connect to AI services during play.
Some 2D art assets were created with the assistance of generative AI image tools and then heavily edited and cleaned up by hand before being used in the game. This includes the logo, some animals, the main menu background, and icon artwork. All such content is pre-generated and baked into the build; the game does not generate any content at runtime.
While every mission, achievement, perk, story beat and game mode was designed and built by hand, one at a time.
Generative AI was used to assist with the localization of some store page content. The generated translations were reviewed and edited before publication.
Some of the artworks, such as textures and illustrative elements, were created or enhanced using AI-based tools. All generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated to ensure consistency with the overall visual style and quality of the game.
No AI is used during gameplay.
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.
Frontier was conceived, designed, directed, and extensively play tested by a solo developer. Generative AI was used as the primary production tool to implement that vision, including programming, artwork, audio, writing, and other game assets. Every aspect of the game was developed through an iterative human-directed process, with the developer specifying requirements, reviewing results, requesting revisions, making design decisions, integrating systems, and personally testing and approving the final content. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
During development, this game used generative AI tools to assist in creating some content: some card illustrations, character art, and scene images were initially generated by AI, then manually selected, redrawn, and post-processed by the developer. Some music, sound effects, and text were also created with AI assistance and finalized after item-by-item revisions by the developer. Some assets used on the store page and promotional images were also produced with the assistance of the above tools. The game does not contain any AI content generated in real time at runtime, and does not use any third-party copyrighted characters, assets, or trademarks.
Interface text and the English translation were drafted with an AI assistant and reviewed by the developer. No art, audio or content is AI generated, and nothing is generated at runtime.
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.
Visual assets and translations were created with the assistance of generative AI tools.
All assets and translations were reviewed, edited, and incorporated by the developer to align with the game’s established art direction.
During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.
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.
This game uses generative AI in parts of its development.
- Code — an AI coding assistant was used to help write the source code.
- Text translation — AI was used to translate the game's text into each supported language.
All of the above was reviewed and adjusted by the developer before release.
No content is generated by AI while the game is running.
The game’s core artwork and content were created by people. Generative AI use was limited to select elements of UI images and icons, Steam capsule image retouching, map and calendar textures within buildings, and localization translations.
Usage of AI-assisted coding tools were used to help debug, and write some lengthy aspects of the game. But all creative work (art, animation, music, sound effects, and all writing and dialogue) is made by hand, without any generative AI whatsoever.
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.
Artificial intelligence tools are used only for concept art/design references and text translations. No AI-generated content is used directly in the final in-game assets.
AI is used only for text translation/localization (in-game and store page), with every line reviewed and edited by the developer.
No AI-generated graphics, music, audio, or live content generation are used in the game.
Generative AI has been used during the early stages of development to create temporary placeholder content, primarily to support production and prototyping. This content is intended to be temporary and is planned to be replaced with final assets specifically created for the game as development progresses.
We used Kimi 3 to generate the code, vector game assets, skeletal animations and code-synthesized sound effects for this game. Music was generated via Suno, while the game design documents, gameplay mechanics and numerical balancing are strictly controlled by human designers.
The game uses generative artificial intelligence on informative text messages and coding assistance. The game rules and campaign maps are crafted by a human,.
