Some model using AI

Some in-game icons were created with the assistance of generative AI during development.

AI image tools supported the creation of some 2D illustrations and promotional assets. Every asset was designed, reworked, and finished by our artists, and all writing, game design, and code are entirely human-made. Nothing in the game is AI-generated at runtime.

During development, we used AI tools to assist in creating some art assets, voice acting, and dialogue. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated before release — the game does not generate content with AI in real time while you play. All such content is reviewed and refined by our team to ensure quality and originality, and to avoid generic-looking characters.

UI Elements, sounds.

Load Factor's player-facing content its data, simulation, art, and text is authored by us, not generated by AI. During development we used AI-assisted coding tools to help write and review source code, in the same way modern IDEs offer AI assistance. No artwork, audio, writing, or localization shipped in the game is AI-generated, and the game does not generate any content using AI while you play.

The AI Programs Are Used Only For Voice Acting Purposes.

本作では、一部のアートワークの制作に生成AIツール（ChatGPT / OpenAI）を使用しています。 対象は武将の立ち絵、シナリオのキャッチ画像、および天候エフェクト画像で、いずれも 開発時に事前生成した静的な画像です。ゲームプレイ中に生成AIが呼び出されることはありません。 音楽・効果音・地図素材・フォントには生成AIを使用していません。

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with visual artwork and programming. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before inclusion in the game. No generative AI content is created during gameplay.

OVERRIDE ships some assets that were created with generative AI tools during development and are included pre-rendered in the game: part of the 2D artwork (store and library capsules, background images, and stylized fictional character portraits) and parts of the music/soundtrack. All game design, simulation, code, and in-game text are authored by the developer. The game does not generate any content live during play and does not connect to any external AI service.

The game uses a wide variety of artificial intelligence products in the art creation process. Ranging from 3d model generation to 2D art, music and sound effects.

We used coding assistance as well as music generation

Some of the game's background music was created using generative AI tools. Parts of the game's localization (text translations) were also produced with AI assistance and reviewed by the team. All other content — game design, artwork, and core systems — was created without generative AI.

Some of Phosphor Command's store and marketing artwork. Notably, the library/hero image was created using a generative AI image tool, based on our own in‑game screenshots, and finalized by the developer. All AI‑generated content is pre‑generated; the game generates no AI content during gameplay. We hold the rights to use this content.

Some still images and and code bug fixes were developed with the assistance of AI

Generative AI was used to assist in creating some UI elements. No AI-generated content was used as-is; all assets were manually reviewed, refined, and polished by our designers before inclusion in the game.

Some of the pre-rendered 2D art shipped with the game (era intermission illustrations, panel icons, campaign cover images and the Economic Association hall with economist portraits) was produced with generative image tools (fal.ai, Krea) from prompts authored by the developer, then post-processed by hand and by scripts in tools/. No generative AI is used at runtime. The game's simulation code, UI, isometric city renderer, world map (built from Natural Earth data) and all text, including the three interface languages, are authored by the developer.

This is a one-person project — just me — and I used AI tools throughout development. All of it is pre-generated: the game doesn't make AI calls while you're playing, and it makes no network calls at all. Most of the code was written with AI coding assistants. Some of the writing players see was drafted the same way and then edited by me: the word lists the game builds its procedural company names from, the achievement titles, and the templates behind the news items and company filings. Those get assembled in-game by ordinary seeded code, not by a model. The store page copy was drafted with AI help as well. The app icon was made with an AI image generator. That same icon is also the Steam community icon, the Windows client icon, the store page background, and the base image for the achievement icons. The rest of the art isn't AI-generated. The capsules and library assets are drawn programmatically from the game's own stylesheet and some seeded procedural drawing code, the screenshots are straight captures of the game running, and the audio is synthesized as you play rather than being generated audio files.

This game contains pre-generated AI-assisted visual assets, including promotional images, icons, artwork, character portraits, and some UI elements. No live or runtime AI is used during gameplay. All gameplay, mechanics, code, and player interactions are handcrafted.

Some art and audio in this game were created with generative AI tools during development. All such content was reviewed before release. No generative AI runs during gameplay.

The game's design, rules, simulation, scenarios, and text are all authored by people. Some event background illustrations and background music were produced with generative tools run in-house by the development team, and every asset was then accepted or rejected by a human. The game does not generate any content while it runs.

Very few of the models are AI Generated, and I want to remove those models once I have the time

Game includes translations made with AI tools

Parts of this game's source code and in-game text were produced with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. The planet itself is not AI-generated. It is built by conventional deterministic algorithms : noise functions, Voronoi tessellation, plate tectonics, erosion and climate simulation (the same family of techniques used in procedural generation for decades. Every world is reproducible from its seed). No AI runs while you play, and the game never connects to an external AI service.

Generative AI tools were used to create part of this game's visual assets: 2D unit and building sprites, terrain textures, background art, and 3D models. Some store page and marketing images were created the same way. Every generated asset was selected, edited and assembled by hand, and the game generates no content at runtime.

Assisted by AI for code development, optimization, bug fixing, select visual assets, music creation, and English localization.

This game was developed with the assistance of generative AI tools during production. AI-generated 2D artwork (building icons, unit portraits, background illustrations, and UI elements) was created and curated by the development team as part of the game's visual assets. AI is not used to generate content dynamically during gameplay -- all art assets are fixed and shipped with the game. In-game opponent behavior uses traditional programmed game logic, not generative AI.

Some of Last Gambit's content was created with the help of generative AI tools. Specifically, part of the artwork for the pieces and skins was generated with AI and then reviewed and refined by us. We also used AI to assist with some cross-platform code porting. All of this content is generated during development. The game does not use generative AI during matches and does not create content in real time.

This game includes some character artwork and UI elements created with the assistance of generative AI.

A limited set of the art and code was generated with help from AI.

Most of the 2D art in Abys Orbit is AI-assisted, generated with Google Gemini during development. Ship and NPC sprite sheets begin as Gemini concept images, are converted to 3D meshes with Meshy.ai, and are then rendered to 2D sprites in Blender. One dashboard background is a NASA public-domain photograph revised with AI. All AI-generated assets are reviewed and edited by us before shipping. The following content is NOT AI-generated: rank insignia (drawn by hand in Adobe Illustrator), the Scout ship model (a commercially licensed 3D asset rendered in 3ds Max), UI and research icons (licensed from CraftPix under their commercial license), two NASA public-domain images, and all audio, which we produced ourselves. No AI-generated content is created at runtime; all generation happens during development.

Generative AI tools assisted with parts of the development, iteration, and production process. The foundation of The Helios Accord—including its original concept, core ideas, world, systems, and narrative—was conceived, designed, and originally written by me. I direct, review, revise, and take responsibility for all AI-assisted material included in the game and its store presentation

Some pre-generated visual assets and localization text were created with the assistance of generative AI and were reviewed and edited by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

This game includes some AI-assisted visual assets and synthetic voice generation for the in-game robot advisor.

Some visual assets in Kron Wars — including spaceship designs, environment artwork, and promotional videos — were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, curated, and integrated by our development team. No AI is used to generate gameplay content, in-game text, or player-facing decisions at runtime.

Some of the game's visual assets — UI textures, illustrations, icons and marketing artwork — were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then manually curated, edited and integrated by the developer. All game design, writing, code and systems are human-made. No AI content is generated at runtime.

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.

The core gameplay of this game adopts an independent AI warlord confrontation system. All Three Kingdoms generals and regional lord NPCs make autonomous decisions on their own, and can independently launch alliances, declarations of war, diplomatic negotiations, grain supply trades, secret betrayals and other political strategic behaviors. In-game plot dialogues and interactions among warlords are dynamically generated by AI. A built-in content safety filter is activated throughout the game to prevent the generation of illegal, violent and inappropriate content.

Game contains images of units, buildings, characters, UI elements and backgrounds generated by AI.

None of the game's artwork, audio, or imagery is AI-generated. Portraits, interface, and all store and marketing art are hand-authored vector and procedural work, and that is a hard rule of the project. We do use AI assistance during development for writing and code, including drafting store text and the scripts that lay out our marketing art, all of it reviewed and edited by hand. No image-generation models are used anywhere, in the game or in its marketing. Dialogue and narration are generated at runtime by a small language model running entirely on the player's machine. Nothing is sent to any server. The model has no authority over the game: a deterministic simulation decides every outcome, fact, and number, and the model only phrases scenes from state the engine hands it. Its output is structurally constrained and validated against the simulation before it appears, and invalid output is rejected. Prompts and validation keep generated text within the game's fiction and its PG-13 register. Player-typed orders go only to the local model and never leave the machine.

localization, sounds

This game uses AI for team logos placeholders. Also, game logo was done using AI and human polish.

For complete transparency with our players, here is our stance on how this game is built: 1. Human Craftsmanship First Human creativity and hands-on talent are always our highest priority. Where development is handled by skilled creators and artists, the work is crafted traditionally. AI is never used to replace active human contribution. 2. Bridging the Resource Gap Where specialized resources, budgets, or personnel are missing, we use AI tools to bridge the gaps and keep development moving forward. As an independent project, we do not have the luxury of waiting on corporate budgets; we use every tool available to ensure the game actually gets finished and delivered to you. 3. Moving Forward, Never Backward Our development philosophy is built on momentum. We will never delay updates, halt progress, or backtrack to remove or replace AI-assisted elements just to appease online discourse. If the game secures funding or high sales down the line, those resources will be used exclusively to hire real people to build new features, content, and expansions. We only move forward. The Bottom Line We refuse to let a lack of corporate backing stop us from making a great game. We choose to embrace the tools of the future to deliver a unique RTS experience today. If you value raw independent drive, transparency, and a studio focused entirely on delivering great gameplay "by any means necessary," thank you for your support.

This game uses AI-generated artwork for store page assets, including capsule images, promotional graphics, and character illustrations. The game logo and visual marketing materials were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools. No AI content is generated during gameplay — all in-game content is pre-authored. No third-party AI services are connected during gameplay.

The game's music soundtrack was created using generative AI tools. All other game content was created by the developer.

Generative AI was used during development for certain text descriptions and for a limited number of illustrative assets. These visuals were subsequently reworked by the game’s artist for consistency with the game’s final style. No generative AI is used during gameplay.

This game uses generative AI to assist with parts of the localization process. All AI-assisted translations are reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.

Some visual assets in this game (such as illustrations, icons, and background images) were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by our development team before being included in the game.

GridIron Grit is made with love, for us hardcore football sim fans, but AI did much of the heavy lifting. AI helped me bring my dream game to life, writing code and generating game assets. The game itself uses no generative AI within.

As a solo developer, I used generative AI tools to help create some of the game's icons, artwork, and written text, which I then reviewed and edited by hand. The game's design, code, and systems are my own work, and the world, its factions, and its story are built on lore I have developed across the Imperium Sine Fine saga. Nothing is AI-generated during gameplay.
