The character, hat, background and icon artwork in the game, and the artwork on this store page, were created with AI image generation and then selected, cut out and adjusted by the developer. In-game text and translations were written with the help of AI tools. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
We are a team of 3 developers and everything you see in the game including 3D models, textures, and environments were crafted entirely by human hands. We used Generative AI for store capsule images, translations, and the soundtrack.
Generative AI tools were used to help create some visual assets, animated effects, text and translations in the game and its store materials. These assets were prepared in advance and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay. Generative AI was also used to create some music and sound effects for the trailers.
An AI-generated sketch is used as a starting point. Everything else is made by a human: every shipped image is redrawn and retouched by hand, and the code, game design and texts are written by the developer.
Generative AI was used for a large portion of the game's visual assets, including character artwork, backgrounds, icons, and some promotional materials.
These assets were not used directly without review. Most of them went through repeated generation, selection, editing, and adjustment to keep the characters and overall art style consistent. A significant amount of time was also spent integrating the assets into the game and correcting issues where necessary.
The game design, gameplay systems, balancing, level design, UI design, programming, and overall direction were done by me.
The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Some of this game's code, art and music were made with the help of an AI assistant. Everything was reviewed, edited and assembled by hand, and no content is generated while you play.
Some game artwork was created with the assistance of AI-generated concept art or reference images during development. These were used solely as creative references, and all artwork used in the final game was manually redrawn and processed. AI-generated images are not used directly.
Some game text and its corresponding localized translations were generated using AI.
Generative AI was used to create some artwork and UI assets, summoning animation videos, and background music. Details of the tools used are listed under Settings > Credits in the game.
During gameplay, AI running on your PC uses the true name and essence you enter to generate Textus data, including abilities and moves, as well as artwork.
Generated results may vary. Depending on the outcome of the safety check, a placeholder explaining why the artwork is unavailable may appear instead of the generated image. The Textus's abilities and moves remain usable.
The key art and logo began as an AI-generated base image, which we then reworked and finished by hand in Photoshop. The narration in the trailers is a synthetic voice made with a text-to-speech model. Nothing inside the game is AI-generated: every critter, the world, the device, the music and the sound are drawn and composed by the game's own code.
This game uses generative AI to create pre-generated content that ships with the game: character and monster artwork, backgrounds and other images, the logo, negotiation dialogue text, and level design. The store page text and marketing images are also created with AI assistance. No AI content is generated live while you play.
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.
Some assets and localization content in Idle Clicker Tower were created with the support of generative artificial intelligence tools during development. This includes assistance with translations and localized text for all supported languages. All content included in the final version was manually reviewed, selected, corrected, and edited to ensure visual consistency, linguistic accuracy, quality, and suitability for the final product.
Some artwork used in the Steam store capsules and the game's Steam Library background image was created with the assistance of generative AI and subsequently edited and refined by the development team. The game logo and initial design concepts were created without the use of generative AI.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with drafting and refining portions of the game's store-page copy, localization, and player-facing text. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
AI tools were used during development to create some sound effects and voice audio, and to assist with store-page text. These assets and text are prepared in advance.
Various visual and audio assets, translations, and promotional materials were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted content was selected, reviewed, and integrated by the developer.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not generate content in real time.
AI-assisted tools were used during development to create some visual assets, including some artwork. These assets are included as pre-generated game content.
Generative AI tools were used during production to create character artwork, portraits, and some of the game's illustrations and visual assets. AI tools also assisted with the story, dialogue, and store-page copy, including its English version. These are pre-generated materials; the game does not use generative AI to create new content during gameplay.
As a solo developer, generative AI tools were used to assist in creating promotional capsule artwork and achievement icons. All gameplay mechanics, coding, and game design were created directly by the developer.
Some of our store and marketing artwork (such as capsule images, library artwork and event banners) was created with the help of AI image-generation tools. Our art team used the game's own characters and hand-drawn art as the basis, and edited, reviewed and finalized every image before release.
In the game, the high-resolution aquarium backgrounds used in the optional Zen (immersive) mode were produced by upscaling our original hand-drawn backgrounds with an AI super-resolution tool. No new artwork was generated; the upscaled images were reviewed by our team, and the standard backgrounds remain the original art.
All gameplay, characters, fish designs, story text and music were created by our team or licensed from human creators.
Generative AI was used to create the illustrations, as well as a small portion of the character artwork and dialogue. This content was created during development. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
AI tools are used in some parts of the development process, including translations for the Steam store page and in-game UI text, as well as assistance with some visual assets.
Ratiator is made by a small independent studio, and generative AI is one of the tools that lets a tiny team build a world this big. Every piece of AI-assisted content was directed, selected and refined by us to match our own art direction and design.
Artwork: backgrounds, UI elements, event illustrations, icons and key art were created with AI image tools from our concepts and art direction, then curated, edited and assembled by hand.
3D models: our rats and their household-junk weapons and armour started as AI-generated 3D models built from our concept art. We then rigged, fitted, animated and tuned them with our own tools, so every rat moves and fights the way we designed it.
Animation: a few short cinematic clips and the living light in some backgrounds (flickering lanterns, flowing water) were made with AI video tools and blended into our original paintings.
Writing: story and event texts were drafted with the help of an AI writing assistant, then edited and shaped by us to fit the world and its humour.
Nothing in the game is generated by AI while you play. Every fight, rat and story event is driven by the game's own systems, and no player data is sent to any AI service.
The in-game illustrations in this game were created with generative AI image tools. This covers:
- The background art for the 16 town illustrations
- The turtle and enemy character art
- The single-image art for the opening and ending
- The dojo and battle backgrounds
- The celebration art shown at gold milestones
- The application icon
The developer selected from the generated candidates and adjusted them (resizing, cropping and similar) before including them in the game.
Generative AI was also used for part of the text:
- All English text was translated from Japanese with generative AI
- In the Japanese version, the on-screen guidance, the how-to-play pages, item descriptions, the store description, and some names of goods, places and characters were written with the help of generative AI
Generative AI was not used for:
- The opening and ending text
- Music and sound effects (these are synthesized by the program's own waveform code)
- The developer's logo
The game never calls generative AI while it is running. It can be played offline; its only external communication is with the Steam client, to record Steam achievements.
The in-game text and the store page text, including the Korean, Japanese and Simplified Chinese translations, were written with the help of AI. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Atharia uses generative AI tools under the developer's constant direction. The combat animations are AI-generated video clips, converted into sprites and integrated into custom-built staging. Background environments and interface elements are also created with AI assistance. Every asset is art-directed, selected and validated by the developer before it enters the game.
DAWNBLOOM uses generative AI-assisted tools during the development of certain game content. The in-game “Dawnbloom Spirit” feature connects to a generative AI service to provide real-time text responses to players’ game-related questions, including game knowledge, gameplay explanations, and general guidance. This feature generates auxiliary text content only. It does not generate or modify game code, nor does it directly control game rules, character data, or player assets.
Generative AI was used during development. Part of the graphics (characters, enemies, bosses, icons, room backgrounds and backdrops) was created with image-generation tools: Google Gemini, OpenAI ChatGPT and a locally run Stable Diffusion model. Part of the music was created with audio-generation tools (Google Gemini). Part of the code, room layouts and texts were written with the help of an AI assistant. The developer reviewed, cut, retouched and hand-adjusted all of this material before adding it to the game. The game does not generate any AI content while it is being played.
