Marketing and Store Visuals: AI tools were utilized during the concept design and background detailing phases for the thumbnail images, posters, and promotional materials on the Steam store page.
Sound Design and Trailer Music: AI-powered sound and music production tools were used in the prototyping and production processes for the game’s promotional trailers and in-game atmospheric background sounds.
Text and Localization Support: AI assistants were used to edit store page descriptions, marketing copy, and language optimization.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create visual assets for this game, including character art, environments such as the temple, weapons, and other in-game artwork, as well as store and marketing images (capsule art, logo, and store background). All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by the developer, who holds the rights to use it. No AI-generated content is created live during gameplay.
Some of the artwork was created using AI tools. The code was also reviewed with, or assisted by, AI.
If the concept finds its audience, we intend to pay an artist to produce artwork that is not AI-generated. Artists who would like to be part of the project are welcome to join us.
Parts of this game were made with the help of generative AI tools. AI assistance was used for the source code, the in-game and store text, the store and library artwork, and the music and sound effects. Everything generated was reviewed and edited by the developer before it shipped. Nothing is generated while you play: the game ships fixed assets and makes no calls to any AI service.
We used an AI diffusion tool in Krita to help create the background for the small capsule shown in search results. Our artist then worked over it with several extra layers, a bit like matte painting. For now, it's a placeholder until our artist finishes the hand-painted version of the small capsule.
The logo and the other capsule images were already hand-painted by our artist. The in-game portraits were also drawn by another artist on our team.
We have a devlog on our website about how we made the capsule artwork and hero portraits, and we'll share the full process on the Steam Community soon too.
The playtest build also includes a few placeholder assets made with AI tools in Krita. Our new UI artist is working on a new UI, so we'll be replacing those placeholders soon. As mentioned above, the hero portraits are also hand-drawn by our artist.
Ravens of War uses generative AI to create some of the artwork and illustrations used in the game, including card artwork. This content is pre-generated and included as part of the game; the game does not generate new AI content during gameplay.
Blood Vaults was independently developed by Cryptwake Studios with limited assistance from generative AI tools. These tools were used as part of the development workflow to assist with select visual assets, content, and development materials. The game’s design, systems, mechanics, direction, and implementation are developer-created. Any AI-assisted content appearing in the final game is reviewed, modified where appropriate, and integrated by the developer.
Crie au loup is made with AI, from the first prototype to the illustrations. That is not a manufacturing detail: it is as much the project as the game itself.
My role is not a craftsman's: I painted no card, and I did not write the code line by line. I designed the system, I direct it, I arbitrate and I verify. Deciding what makes it into the game, what gets redone, what gets cut: that is production work, and it is mine.
What is generated: the creature and location artwork, the interface, a large share of the code and the writing. What is measured rather than assumed: card balance, computed over thousands of simulated matches before every update. What is verified: the historical sources behind every legend, published one by one on the official site, where you can open them and prove me wrong.
What is never generated is your match. No image, no text and no game decision comes out of a model while you play: the engine is deterministic, and the solo opponent is a classic program applying the rules.
Crie au loup is one of the projects I run around generative AI, and the only one you can play. The making-of is documented without varnish in the devlog on the official site.
Hellternum is developed by a small independent studio. Some visual elements — certain in-game illustrations, textures and marketing images — were produced with the help of generative AI tools, always under direct human art direction and edited by hand to fit the game's visual identity.
Everything else is human-made: design, writing, level design, code and audio.
We think you should know this before you play.
As indie developers we use generative AI to power our creativity and build this game faster and according our community desires and our own vision for the game.
AI-based tools were used solely as a supportive aid for creating select pre-rendered in-game assets and text, with all final content thoroughly reviewed and refined by the development team. The game contains no live-generated AI content during gameplay.
Some art assets in the game and on the store page (story character portraits, some icons, backgrounds, and capsule images) were created with AI image generation tools, then manually curated and edited by the developer. All gameplay, code, and written story content is human-made. No AI content is generated at runtime.
Some of the visual assets in Champions of Thaloria were created with the help
of generative AI tools during development. This includes parts of the store
page artwork and trailer, along with a portion of the in-game 2D art such as
item icons, avatar frames and class emblems.
Every AI-assisted asset was selected, edited and assembled by hand before it
went into the game, and all of it was reviewed by the developer.
The game does not generate anything while you play. No content is created at
runtime and no AI service is contacted during gameplay — everything ships
with the game.

All AI-assisted content has been reviewed, and the final assets were manually drawn to fit the game's artistic style and atmosphere.
Some of the game's 2D artwork - was created using generative AI tools, then manually curated and edited by the developer. Text
localization into non-English languages is AI-assisted and reviewed by
the developer. A planned voice for one character will use AI speech
generation. All game design, level design, code, gameplay systems, and
the English text are human-made.
Darcnia Monster is made by a single independent developer. Some of the game's visual assets — background illustrations, cinematic scenes, and character and card artwork — were created with the help of generative AI image tools, and the in-game character voices were produced using AI voice synthesis.

No AI runs while you play: nothing is generated in real time, and no player data is ever sent to any AI service.
This work is fully developed and produced with the assistance of AI: character animations, scene maps, interface UI, sound effects, music and other art and audio materials are all generated by AI; The core gameplay mechanism of the game relies on manual planning to complete the development outline, and the implementation of segmented content and function building are all assisted by AI to complete the development work.
