We used Claude (Anthropic) during development for the following:
- Writing the store page description
- Assisting with the translation of in-game text
- Generating some simple in-game objects
Some visual assets were partially created with the help of generative AI. It was used as a reference for a few alpha brushes, clothing patterns, and some card designs. No output was used as-is — everything was heavily modified and finished by hand. All other content in the game was created entirely by the developer.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some visual assets, UI elements, sound effects, and music featured in Warchaic. Software development was handled by our development team, while animations and visual effects (VFX) were either created by our team or sourced from licensed asset packages.
Some of the placeholder unit and terrain sprites that I'm using while the game is in development were generated with the help of AI (with a lot of manual curation and editing... I promise that you will not be confronted by any noticeably ugly slop).
Initial sales will contribute toward creating hand-drawn, unique sprites for as many units as possible.
Some pre-generated artwork and audio included in MyHiStory were created with the assistance of generative AI during development. These assets were selected, reviewed, and curated by the developer before inclusion in the game. MyHiStory does not use generative AI to generate content or code while the game is running.
SpaceBell was Agentically Engineered! The custom engine, game loop, and the entire process to make the game is documented on the studios' X page. Far from vibed, the game has been in active dev for 2yrs.
The game's text (Korean and English) was written with the help of an AI assistant, based on the developer's research into traditional Korean architecture, and was fact-checked and reviewed by the developer before shipping. The English text follows a Korean–English glossary of traditional architecture terms prepared and approved by the developer. No other shipped content is AI-generated: all 3D models, buildings and characters are built procedurally in code, and the background music is licensed traditional Korean music (CC BY).
Some artwork and visual assets in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. All such content was reviewed, edited, and integrated into the game by the developer.

We are utilising ElevenLabs’ text-to-speech tool, to generate some voice-over elements within Train Sim World 7. This is utilised in features such as training modules, as well as platform and onboard train announcements. All scripts and content are written by Dovetail Games staff, with ElevenLabs used to generate the audio in these instances.
The 2D art in this game — character and enemy sprites, weapon and UI icons, visual effects, tilesets, the title screen, and the store artwork — was produced with the help of generative AI image tools. Every asset was then processed by hand for the game: sliced, colour-keyed, scaled with nearest-neighbour, and assembled into sprite sheets by the developer.
All audio is synthesised procedurally by the developer's own scripts — it is not AI generated. The game's code and design are written by the developer.
Nothing is generated by AI while you play. All content ships with the game and never changes.
We use AI to generate content for the game such as text descriptions, some images like npc portraits and ware items and to generate some stories to create immersion in the game.
We also generate some voicing for dialogs using licensed voices.
We also generate some other sounds such as sound effects (wind, sea waves)
All content text, images, voices or sounds are reviewed manually by a human to verify the content and licensing aspects.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating and refining some pre-generated visual assets, including selected in-game backgrounds. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team. The game does not generate content using AI during gameplay.
This game uses generative AI during development to assist with selected artwork, relic and character illustrations, and limited text drafts. All generated material was created offline during development, then manually reviewed, edited, integrated, and quality-checked before being included in the game.

Some of the art assets in TETWORD were created with the help of generative AI tools. Certain textures and 2D artwork were produced using AI image-generation tools, and some 3D models were generated using Meshy AI. Generative AI assistants (ChatGPT and Claude) were also used during development. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game. The game's design, code, gameplay, and word content were created by the developer.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with concept exploration and some fixed, pre-generated visual assets. All outputs were reviewed, edited, curated, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content at runtime, and players cannot prompt or create AI-generated content.
American Gold Rush uses limited AI-generated art in a small number of places, all of it pre-generated during development. No AI is used while you play, and nothing about the game changes at runtime.
AI-generated: the title artwork, some background pieces like the sky.
Not AI-generated: all pixel art, all sound effects, all music, all game code and all writing. These are human-made, by named people paid for the work.
Generative AI tools were used during the development process for pre-generated image assets, specifically for refining, upscaling, and enhancing original artwork created by the developer. No real-time AI generation is used in the game.
Some assets and code in Angkor were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, including 2D art, sound effects, portions of the game's code, and some in-game text. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by a human developer. Angkor does not generate any content live during gameplay.
Some parts of the Cellarer were made with the help of generative AI tools: portions of the source code, some of the in-game icons and sfx / vfx, some store and marketing text, and some marketing artwork and assets were AI-assisted, then reviewed, edited and integrated by hand before shipping. The game itself contains nothing live-generated — no AI runs while you play, and the game never connects to an AI service.
