Some of the content in Dawnheart Keepers was created with the help of generative AI tools during development. All of it was made before release: the game does not generate anything with AI while you play, and it never connects to an AI service.
What that covers:
- Illustrated art - menu and story backgrounds, story scenes, the world map, character and tower portraits, and the upgrade-card plates - was made with image-generation models run locally on the developer's own machine, from prompts the developer wrote.
- The English and Hebrew voice-over was generated with ElevenLabs from scripts written by the developer.
- Sound effects were generated from written prompts, or synthesised procedurally in code.
All of it was reviewed, edited, curated and tested by the developer before it shipped, and the same applies to the trailer and store art.
The music is not AI-generated. It is written as code and synthesised by the game itself while you play, the way game soundtracks were built before recorded audio.
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.
We used generative AI on fighter portraits for deeper immersion and as a pre-production tool for early concept layouts. From there, all character assets and visual elements were extensively edited and manually hand-painted by human artists to ensure high visual quality and artistic control.
The application includes a small set of pre-generated pixel-art example assets, including default cat character poses, icons, and promotional visuals. They were created with generative AI assistance during development and curated as static demonstration content shipped with the application.
The product does not generate AI content at runtime and does not embed, call, or operate a generative AI model or service. Its AI Material Assistant only provides editable prompt templates and links to third-party services outside the application. Players may import their own images, GIFs, audio, and Workshop content.
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.
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.
Rexclaw's companions are powered by generative AI, conversations (text and voice), along with files you create together are generated on demand by third party AI models. Some promotional artwork, including store banners, was created with AI assistance.
During development, we used procedural and AI-assisted tools to analyze, merge, refine, and polish systems that were originally developed through years of our own experimentation, iteration, and hands-on exploration. These tools accelerated implementation and helped unify complex ideas beyond what would have been practical through manual development alone, while the underlying concepts, creative direction, design decisions, and final implementation remain the work of our development team.
Some of Powdertron's development and marketing materials were produced with AI assistance. The store page text was drafted with an AI writing tool and edited by hand, and the capsule images and trailer were rendered by procedural code written with AI assistance, using the game's own artwork and captured gameplay footage.
The game itself contains no generative AI. Nothing is generated at runtime, no AI service is contacted while you play, and all in-game content — the materials, reaction rules, simulations and interface — is authored and deterministic.
MistWindow includes static visual assets — the application icon, task-tray icon, and the sprite sheets for the bundled pet characters — that were created with AI tools during development, and portions of its source code were written with the help of AI coding assistants. All of this content is pre-generated and ships as fixed files: MistWindow does not generate any content with AI while it is running, and it does not send user data to AI services.
This game uses generative AI to create visual art assets (plants, scenery, animals, UI, etc.) during development. In-game, the cat companion's chat dialogue is generated in real time by a local AI model that runs entirely offline on the player's device; no player input is sent to any external service.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some promotional artwork used on the Steam store page, including store and library artwork. The resulting assets were reviewed and selected by the developer before publication.
The game does not use generative AI to create content dynamically during gameplay.
The non-English text is AI machine-translated for now (English is the only hand-written one), and it's labelled as AI in-game. If you're a native speaker and want to help fix the rough spots, there'll be an open localization repo for corrections, which ship in updates.
This game is a solo project developed by a student. Due to limited resources and budget, Generative AI tools were utilized to create store page visuals and capsule designs, as well as to localize and draft store descriptions; these elements were personally edited, refined, and finalized by the developer.
Generative AI was used during development to create some of the artwork included in the game, including character illustrations and themed visual assets. All AI-assisted content was selected and reviewed by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of debugging and gameplay balancing. All AI-assisted output was reviewed, modified, tested, and integrated by the developer. The game does not connect to generative AI services or generate AI content during gameplay.
During the development of this game, we utilized generative AI tools to assist in the following areas:
Code Development: Portions of game logic and system code were generated with AI assistance. All AI-generated code has been manually reviewed, adjusted, and integrated into the final product to ensure stability and performance.
Multilingual Text Translation (English): The English localization—including UI, dialogues, and prompts—was initially drafted using AI translation. These drafts were then proofread and polished by professional translators to ensure natural language flow and cultural appropriateness.
All AI-generated content has undergone rigorous human review and testing to meet our quality standards and deliver a great player experience. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the developers.
Code: I'm a solo developer and I use AI coding agents. The architecture, game design, systems, and direction are mine; the agents write code to my spec, under my review. That includes the UI, which agents build from my own designs and styles.
3D art: Made by a professional artist. No AI.
Music and SFX: Currently placeholders, licensed from Ocular Sounds, who state their sounds are crafted from original source recordings by their in-house sound design team. To be replaced with commissioned work.
Writing: Written by me. AI agents help me edit and apply corrections; I approve every word that ships. A professional writer will be brought on as development continues.
Illustrations: Not in the game yet. They will be commissioned from professional artists.
After the creation of assets by an artist, the team used gen AI to generate backdrops for assets, and general backgrounds.
Gen AI was used to amalgamate artist created assets into grouped assets. E.g. the aliens which were created by the artist are then rendered together by AI for a promotional image.
This means only the back scape mainly promotional artwork and character backgrounds were generated by AI.
During Early Access, generative AI will be used to translate human-written English text for the Steam store page and application into other languages, due to limited resources.
The English localization is not AI generated. No AI-generated artwork or audio is included, and no content is generated by AI at runtime.
Our goal is to replace all AI-generated translations with translations created and reviewed by professional human translators for the full release. This disclosure will remain while any AI-assisted translations are included.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of selected promotional and store artwork. During gameplay, players can also optionally use generative AI to create custom word sets and hints.
I use generative AI tools in the development of OXYTOPIA. All AI output is directed, reviewed, and edited by me before it ships.
What AI is used for:
Branding art — the game's logo and app/store icons were designed with the help of AI models and are rendered in-engine as original vector/code artwork.
Source code — parts of the game's code were written with AI coding assistants.
What is not AI-generated: the in-game gameplay art (tiles, characters, buildings, items, plants) and all audio are hand-made or licensed from human creators.
At runtime: OXYTOPIA generates no content with AI while you play, and no player data is ever sent to any AI service during gameplay.
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.
Campaign Forge uses generative AI as a core, opt-in feature. Worlds, characters, regions, and stories are generated live, on demand, at the player's direction, using an AI provider and model the player chooses (paid cloud, free cloud, or a fully local/offline model — bring your own API key or run locally).
Generative AI tools were used in the development of Lexip to create initial drafts and source material for parts of the project, including code, visual assets, sounds, writing, and marketing materials. These outputs were not used unchanged; they were reviewed, selected, adapted, edited, and integrated by the developer. The final implementation, design decisions, and overall tuning were done manually. The game does not generate new AI content during gameplay.
We are using AI art assets in places where our Art has not caught up to the current game progress. We are continuing to produce art to replace the AI assets.
