The images currently used on the Steam store page, including the capsule art, were generated using AI. All of these images will be replaced with final, original artwork when the game demo is released. No AI-generated assets are used in the game itself.

AI has been used to help develop the game's cover art.

Some placeholder art, music and sound effects were AI generated

Some pre-rendered art assets (enemy and background artwork) and localization were created with generative AI tools under human direction, then manually cleaned up and integrated by the developers. Development used AI-assisted coding tools. No content is AI-generated at runtime.

Generative AI is utilized as support in the game's development, employed for concept creation, texture upscaling, and the design of icons and visual elements.

During the early stages of development, I used AI tools as a creative and technical aid, mainly to help with parts of the code and to create early drafts of some background artwork. These were only starting points in the development process. The materials were then reviewed, adapted, modified, and integrated as part of the game’s overall development.

AI tools were used during development as a programming and brainstorming assistant: the game's code were written with AI assistance under my direction and review, and I used AI to talk through design ideas. All art, audio, and text in the game itself are either hand-made, procedurally generated by the game's own code, or sourced from credited CC0 asset packs (big thanks to Kenney Vleugels).

Standard C++ game code, written during development with the assistance of an AI programming assistant, used as a pair-programming tool. This includes gameplay systems (crafting, inventory, world simulation), rendering and UI code, and development tooling. It is ordinary, static game logic. AI assistance was used only during development, directed by myself through specific requests, with every change reviewed, tested, and committed to version control by myself. The shipped game contains no AI models and does not execute or generate any code or content via AI at runtime. The game is a fully offline, single-player experience.

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.

Some artwork (ship, station and environment sprites, icons) and sound effects were created using generative AI tools during development, then curated and hand-edited by the developer. All AI-generated content was reviewed before inclusion.

Petrivore uses AI-assisted tools in parts of its development: some icons and steam assets were made with AI image generation, the in-game text and steam page was translated with AI translation tools. All of it was reviewed and edited by the developer.

The pixel art was generated with PixelLab. The music was generated with Suno on a paid plan. I wrote the prompts, picked what worked, and threw out what didn't. The game itself, the economy, the systems, the design, the words on screen, I built. Nothing is generated while the game runs. Everything ships as files. There are no AI calls at play time, no AI voice, and no chatbots.

Scuttled was created by a solo developer working with an AI assistant. AI was used under the developer's direction to help write the game's code, its in-game text and story logs, the procedurally drawn artwork and music, and the store page materials, including the key art and trailer. All of it was reviewed, revised, and approved by the developer. The game does not use AI at runtime: nothing is generated while you play, and everything you see and hear ships with the game exactly as authored.

Some of the content shipping with this game was created using generative AI: • Images: the title/loading screen, the store graphics (capsules) and the five faction portraits were generated with an image AI. • Audio: the title music, intro music, sector music tracks and the sound effects were created with AI tools. • Text: the store description was drafted with AI assistance. All of this content was selected, reviewed and integrated by hand. Not AI-generated: the 3D world, the ships, stations and effects — those are built procedurally and in Blender. The source code was developed with AI assistance; we mention this for completeness, even though development tools are exempt from disclosure.

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.

The voice lines, non-English localization, and store art in Stellar Orbit are provided by generative AI tools.
