Some pre-rendered assets were created with the help of generative AI during development: 2D line-art images (mascot sprites, badges, store artwork), portions of the game code, and drafts of store/in-game text (human-reviewed). Nothing is generated at runtime, and the game never connects to any AI service while you play. Sound effects are procedurally synthesized without AI.
AI tools were used for part of the art and music. Everything gets picked, cleaned up and put together by hand afterwards. There's no AI in the game itself: what you play is exactly what was built in mind.
This game uses generative AI tools as part of its art creation process. Visual assets — including background and environment art, character and unit art, and card illustrations — were generated with the assistance of AI and then reviewed and refined by hand. All AI-assisted content is checked to ensure it meets our quality and originality standards.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create some content, including the English localization, music and sound effects, the 3D-rendered block art pipeline, and parts of the store/marketing materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and refined by the developer. No content is generated by AI at runtime.
AI-generated content is used in the following areas of this game:
- Icons: Some card icon artwork was AI-assisted.
- Localization: All translated text was generated using AI.
- Game balance: Adjustments were guided by AI-based simulation.
- Help / guide / character text: Generated with AI, then edited by the developer.
- Story text: AI was used during early drafting, but nearly all of it has been rewritten by the developer.
Explanation about the game development process:
In the early concept design and creative ideation stage of this game, we did use AI technology as an auxiliary tool to help us explore and validate various artistic styles and creative directions more quickly. These AI-generated reference materials provided us with initial inspiration.
However, the core creative concepts, story writing, character design, and all artistic assets presented in the final game were personally conceived and carefully crafted by our creative team. Each game element underwent repeated human optimization and fine-tuning to ensure the best gaming experience.
AI was only used as an auxiliary tool, and the final game content presented is the result of human creation. We have always adhered to human creation as the main driver, committed to bringing players a unique and meticulously polished gaming experience.
There is no AI-generated art or audio anywhere in this game. Every sprite, animation and character design is hand-drawn by me. The game has no audio at all, and the music in the trailer is my own work too. Nothing is generated while the game runs, and it never connects to an AI service.
AI was used to help with text, in three places.
The store page description and short description, in all 11 languages.
Translating the interface labels into the 10 languages other than English. There are only 24 strings in the whole game and no prose of any kind: 11 are labels like "Clear all" and "Cancel", and the other 13 are bird names, which are the real common names of each species, looked up per language rather than made up.
Some of our Steam community and marketing posts.
Chinese (both) I checked myself, and Japanese was checked at N2. Korean, Spanish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and German have not been checked by a native speaker.
Some of this game's pre-generated assets were created by Meridian Studios using generative AI tools, from our own prompts and under our licenses: 2D art (illustrations, backgrounds, character and enemy tokens, icons, and store art) generated with FLUX via the Replicate API, and a portion of the sound effects generated with ElevenLabs. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed, curated, and integrated by the studio. No AI-generated content is produced live during gameplay, and no player data is sent to any AI service.
I developed this game entirely on my own, handling all the game design, hand-drawn artwork, and music composition myself.
Only the translations/localizations were generated by AI.
We use AI-based text-to-speech tools to generate the character voice-over in this game. Everything else that ships in the game is made by our own development team.
Generative AI tools were used during the early production stage to create preliminary visual assets and reference materials. All AI-assisted assets included in the final game were manually edited, refined, and reviewed by our designers.
Store page and marketing artwork (capsule images, library assets)
were created with the assistance of generative AI image tools.
Some in-game art assets were also produced with AI assistance.
All generated content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by
the developer.
Some visual assets in the game, including certain card illustrations and UI elements, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. These assets were generated during development and are included as pre-generated content in the game.
As an indie studio, we use generative AI to continue developing the games we love. It allows us to accomplish tasks that would otherwise be beyond our small team's capacity.
Generative AI was used during the development of the game's user interface and to assist with creating parts of the game's audio. Every AI-generated asset was carefully reviewed and refined before being included in the final game.
A solo dev made this game. Some of the art was created or refined with AI tools; the design, code, UI, music (using fruit loops), writing, and everything the game actually does are hand-built.
This game uses AI-generated art for character illustrations and background images. All AI-generated images were reviewed and manually edited by the developer. AI is NOT used to generate any content during gameplay in real-time. Voice acting is performed by human actors. The story and script were written by a human.
AI tools were used during development solely to assist with coding, including identifying and fixing bugs and making minor code corrections and improvements. AI does not generate any content for players during gameplay.
Some of MORTAROT's visual assets were created with the assistance of generative AI image tools and then edited, composited, and refined by hand by the artist. Some interface text and the English localization were drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by the team. AI coding assistants were also used during development. All AI-generated content has been reviewed to ensure that it does not contain infringing or illegal material.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some visual assets, including concept exploration, initial image generation, and partial redraws. All such assets were reviewed, edited, integrated, and finalized by the developer.
The game does not use generative AI at runtime and does not generate any content live.
Generative AI tools were used during the creation of some soundtracks for the game. All AI-generated audio assets have been carefully selected, reviewed, and edited to align with the game's atmosphere and aesthetic.
Some music and portions of localized text were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before being included in the final game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
The background art, character art, and music in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. The story and narrative text were written by humans.
Part of the game's art illustrations and promotional materials are assisted by generative AI. All AI-generated assets have been manually reviewed, edited and verified for compliance, with no infringing or illegal content.
All gameplay content is deterministic, hand-authored code with no AI generation at runtime. AI-assisted development tooling was used during production, including AI-assisted authoring of the code that renders the store artwork and achievement icons. No generative-AI images, audio, or text are shipped as game assets, and the game never connects to AI services.
Parts of the artwork (customer portraits, studio backgrounds, skin imagery, some tattoo motifs), the background music, and some store page images were created with generative AI tools and then edited and integrated by the developer. Game design, mechanics and game logic are the developer's own work. No content is generated while the game is running.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some 2D graphical assets and illustrations used in the game. These assets were reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the final game. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.
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.
The narrative and interface text in this game - dialogue, tutorial guidance, in-game descriptions, and localization into all supported languages (Russian, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese) - was generated with the assistance of generative AI (a large language model), based on the developer's original game concept, design, and creative direction. No other content in this game - art, music, sound, or gameplay - is AI-generated.
Pregenerated AI audio tools were used during development to generate character voice lines and background music tracks. All visual art, graphics, puzzle task and animations were created by hand without generative AI.
Generative AI was used during development to create some concept art, early promotional images, certain 3D assets, and UI illustrations. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use AI-generated content during gameplay.
AI tools were used during development in two areas. Code: an AI coding assistant helped write and refactor GDScript source; all output was reviewed and edited by the developer before being committed. UI design: interface layouts were prototyped as HTML mockups with AI assistance, then redrawn and implemented by hand as Godot scenes — no AI-produced file ships in the build.
All art and music in the game were created by people. Sound effects are generated procedurally by a hand-written synthesis script (numpy waveform synthesis, no models or samples involved). Fonts are open-licensed, human-designed typefaces.
Some background music inside the game was created with generative AI tools. Generative AI was also used as a development assistant for some debugging, and code building. The game does not use live AI generation during playing.
