Select visual artwork used in Comic Shop Tycoon, including some in-game comic and product artwork as well as Steam promotional artwork, was created using generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is pre-generated and fixed. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services while running.
Generative AI was used selectively as a development tool to assist with some textures and selected 3D assets. All assets were reviewed, refined where needed, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI content.
Hi! I’m a solo indie developer working on this game during my free time outside of daily life.
To bring this project to life with limited time and resources, I used AI tools to assist parts of the development process, such as brainstorming, early prototypes, draft writing, and iteration support.
However, the core game design, gameplay systems, story structure, balancing, and final implementation were all personally planned, edited, and integrated by me.
AI is a tool that helps me turn ideas into something playable—it does not replace the creative decisions behind this game.
I know people may have different opinions about AI, so I want to be transparent about it.
Thank you for playing and supporting my work.
I hope you enjoy exploring this broken, virus-corrupted world.
Some visual assets used in Brawlbeards, including character illustrations, backgrounds, store capsules, and promotional artwork, were created with the assistance of generative AI and then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI content is created in real time during gameplay, and the game does not connect to an external AI service.
AI coding assistants were used during development to help create and edit portions of the code and player-facing implementation that ship with the game. The game's 2D artwork was not created by an image-generation model. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use generative AI at runtime.
Generative AI tools were used in the creation of some visual assets in the game. Some generated artwork was used directly after review, while other generated artwork was edited, modified, or used as a starting point for final assets.
The English localization of Channel 453 was produced through a combination of human translation and editing.
Some sections of the game, including portions of the demo, were translated by a human translator.
For a limited number of sections in the full game, generative AI tools were used only as a first-pass aid for English localization and language editing. These tools were not used to create the original scenario or characters.
All AI-assisted English text was subsequently reviewed, revised, and polished by humans before being included in the final game.
We are providing this information on Steam in the interest of transparency and to help players make an informed decision about the game.
To avoid any misunderstanding: this refers to a test-stage build. The final release will be provided with fully human-translated localization alongside the finalized store page update.
Some pre-rendered visual artwork, promotional material, as well as game elements were created with AI and then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to third-party AI services during gameplay.
During the development of this game, AI tools were used solely as a coding assistance aid — primarily to help identify and fix minor bugs, and to assist with small code corrections and improvements. AI was not used to generate any content experienced by the player, including visual assets, audio, narrative or in-game text. All artwork, sound, and written content presented to the player are original and human-created. The AI usage disclosed here is limited to development-side coding assistance and does not appear as generated content within the final player-facing experience.
Of course, we used artificial intelligence to create some of the illustrations and interface elements, translate texts into various languages, and make the programmers’ work easier. Without AI, it would have been impossible to bring our project to life with the quality we envisioned and within a realistic timeframe. We’d like to thank the developers and companies behind artificial intelligence for the incredible tools that helped us realize our dream and create this game.
Some 2D art was made with generative AI as a starting point, cards are renders of our real 3D models with painted backgrounds. No in-game AI, no AI voices, no real people's likenesses. Art may be replaced during Early Access.
Some card illustrations currently use AI-generated artwork. Following the game’s full release, these illustrations will gradually be replaced with artwork created by professional artists.
The creative direction of GAZE IN SHADOWS was developed and controlled entirely by our team, including its 1928 setting, story, characters, case design, gameplay, and film noir-inspired visual style.
Generative AI was used only as a supporting tool for early art exploration, asset refinement, and limited programming assistance. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, extensively revised, and finalized by our developers. AI was not involved in any core creative decisions.
Some of the artwork in this game was created with the assistance of generative AI tools as part of our development process. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and finalized by our human artists before being included in the game.
Character portraits are entirely hand-drawn by artists. Background assets are created using AI as preliminary sketches, then comprehensively revised and manually reworked to achieve consistent art style.
Generative AI tools were used only as a development assistant to help prototype and refine accessibility-related code and interface behavior. The game does not include AI-generated narrative, artwork, audio, characters, translations, or live-generated AI content.
AI was primarily used to assist in the creation of the game's music and sound effects. Most of the music tracks and sound effects were generated using AI tools and then edited and adapted for use in the game.
All visual assets, characters, environments, puzzles, story, and gameplay mechanics were created and designed manually by the developer.
This game uses content created or assisted by generative AI. Generative AI was used to help create and edit some visual assets, music/sound materials, and scripts. All final content was reviewed, selected, and adjusted by the developer before being included in the game.
I used modern AI tools as creative assistants while building the world of my game. This allowed me to share the dark fantasy universe in my mind with you in a much more vivid and detailed way.
This game uses generative AI in limited, non-gameplay-critical areas:
- AI-assisted code refactoring and performance optimization during development
- AI-assisted translation polishing for multi-language support
- UI layout refinement suggested by AI tools during the design process
All core gameplay logic, the unique drawing-and-deduction design, and all original game artwork were created, reviewed and refined by human developers.
Generative AI tools are used to create some background images and marketing materials, as well as to assist with the animation production process. The final assets are adjusted by the development team.
Generative AI was used during development to create certain music, assist with localization, and produce some icon assets. All AI-generated content included in the final game was reviewed, edited, and approved by the development team before release.
