I am a solo developer balancing this project with another job. To make this game a reality, I have used generative AI tools as an assistant during development, as well as to generate various pre-rendered assets: 2D visual elements (such as item icons, textures, and interface art) and the composition of the orchestral soundtrack.
Some of the 2D artwork in this game — character portraits, monster illustrations, board tiles, backgrounds and store art — was created with the help of generative AI image tools, then reviewed, edited and assembled by the developer. All generated assets were checked before shipping. The game does not generate any content live during play: everything is pre-rendered and included in the build. Game design, rules, code, text and level layout were authored by the developer.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of selected sprite artwork and to create some sound effects and background music. All AI-assisted content was generated before release, reviewed and curated by the developer, and edited or integrated into the final game as appropriate. RuneEra does not use AI to generate content while the game is running.
Dragon Soul: Awakening is a solo-developed game that uses generative AI as one of many creative tools during development. The logo, some backgrounds, character sprites, UI elements, and music were created using AI-assisted workflows alongside original writing, design, editing, and human-created artwork. Some AI-assisted assets currently serve as placeholders during development and will be replaced before the full release.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with pre-generated content. No generative AI content is created during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with selected pre-generated visual assets, promotional and store-page materials, and localization/text. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, curated, and approved by the developer before inclusion. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while running.
Some of the assets in this game were created with the help of generative AI tools: part of the background music and sound effects, some of the 2D images and textures used in the game and on the store page, some of the 3D models, and part of the source code. Every AI-assisted asset was reviewed and adjusted by the developer before it was included in the game, and we do not knowingly use material that infringes the rights of third parties. This game does not generate any content with AI while it is running; NPC dialogue is randomly selected from text written in advance by the developer.
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. Every AI-assisted asset was hand-selected, edited, and integrated by the developer to match the game's art direction and story. No AI runs while you play: nothing is generated in real time, and no player data is ever sent to any AI service.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of certain visual and audio assets. This includes some concept art, textures, UI elements, loading screens, promotional artwork, graphical assets, music, and sound effects.
AI-assisted content may be edited, modified, retouched, mixed, or otherwise integrated by the development team before being included in the game or promotional materials.
Generative AI is not used to dynamically generate content during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of character illustrations, selected artwork, store page assets, and localization. All AI-assisted content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.
This game uses generative AI to create visual assets, including character portraits, event CGs, and background images. All generated images were selected, adjusted, and finalized by the developer.
The scenario, dialogue, game design, and system programming were created by the developer. AI translation assistance was used as part of the localization process, with the results reviewed by the developer.
Gildoria uses AI-assisted tools in parts of its development: some UI icons were made with AI image generation, the in-game text was translated with AI translation tools. All of it was reviewed and edited by the developer. 3D art, level design, game design and codes are human-made or licensed. No content is generated by AI while the game runs.
Generative AI was used during development to support early concept exploration and rapid prototyping, including testing visual directions, compositions, and placeholder ideas. All AI-assisted material was reviewed and refined by the development team, with final creative and design decisions made by humans. The game does not generate content using AI during gameplay.
Live-generated: Pixie's chat feature generates the pet's replies with a language model that ships inside the product and runs entirely on the player's own computer. There is no third-party AI service, no API key and no account of any kind; the feature makes no network requests at all and works with the machine fully offline. The model is Gemma 4 E2B, licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and redistributed with the notices required by that license.
Pre-generated: written text in the product and on this store page — including the interface strings and their translations into the supported languages — was produced with the help of an AI writing assistant.
All art, animation and characters are hand-made: every sprite is drawn at runtime by a parametric pixel renderer written for this project, with no generative AI involved at any stage.
Camera and microphone input are processed entirely on-device (MediaPipe) and are never sent to any server.
Some of the art in SoulForge Legends was created with the help of generative AI tools. All of it was generated during development, then reviewed, edited and assembled by hand before shipping. Nothing is generated live while you play, and the game never sends your input to an AI service.
Some pre-created content in SPELLSTEEL was developed with the assistance of generative AI as part of a human-directed creative process. SPELLSTEEL does not use generative AI to generate gameplay content or player-facing content in real time.

All in-game illustrations (character portraits, NPC and monster art, location and item images, key art) were pre-generated during development using generative AI tools and manually curated by the developer. The game does not create AI-generated content at runtime.
AI tools were used to create pre-rendered assets during development, including background illustrations, item images, some video cutscenes, and background music. All AI-generated content was curated, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate any content at runtime (no live-generated AI content).
Gemini was used to assist in creating card art and art in backgrounds based off of a Fantasy setting from a not yet published book which is copyrighted. Sounds were created using elevenlabs for card sounds and effects including vo.
Most art has been hand-crafted but some art has been assisted by generative AI. Art assisted by generative AI includes UI Icons, monsters, items and marketing promotional art. All ingame art has been finalized by hand.
Hammered Heroes is a solo-developed game, with all design, direction, and gameplay built by one developer. Some 2D art assets (such as sprites and capsule art) were created with the help of generative AI image tools, then edited and assembled by the developer.
We have carefully crafted a complete set of NPC dialogue without the use of AI. At the same time, we are experimenting with an additional feature powered by AI large language models, allowing players to freely converse with their favorite NPCs. This is an exploratory feature that exists entirely separately from the traditional game content.
These experimental elements are intended to offer players a new additional experience and will not affect the complete single-player experience. Whether this feature will be included in the final release has not yet been decided. Even if it is ultimately implemented, it will be optional rather than required.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence as part of the development process. AI tools were used to assist with creating certain visual assets and design elements. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure quality and consistency.
No AI is used during gameplay, and the player experience is entirely handcrafted.
A Quick Note on AI Tools:
To give our loading screens a cinematic, atmospheric feel, we took screenshots of our actual game environments and used AI tools solely to enhance the lighting, details, and decals for those transition images. For our Achievement Icons, we used AI-generated imagery only for the background fillers, while the main icon artwork was manually created.
Rest assured, 100% of the actual playable game, including all 3D models, world textures, animations, and code was fully handcrafted by our team.
We have utilized open-source, self-hosted AI tools for our localization process to make the game available to as many players as possible. Additionally, local AI tooling was used during development to assist with codebase navigation and a single instance of asset recovery for a lost legacy logo. No proprietary or cloud-based AI services were used.
This game includes pre-generated assets created with the assistance of generative AI tools. AI-assisted content may include selected store capsule artwork, promotional artwork, UI-related graphics, and selected music/audio elements. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or store presentation. The game does not use live generative AI during gameplay.
This project's entire graphic asset collection (all sprites) and all code is entirely generated by AI. It has been assembled and tweaked by the creator, but otherwise is 95% AI generated. This is purposeful and was intended to test some limits of Claude and GPT5.
