This game makes limited, supplementary use of generative AI tools during development. The primary uses are programming assistance (such as debugging), certain image and audio assets, and assistance with translating text into English.
Generated image and audio assets are not used as-is. The development team reviews their content and makes additions, revisions, edits, and other adjustments to ensure that they are appropriately refined and fit the game.
For text translated with the assistance of generative AI, the development team reviews the context and content and makes any necessary revisions before using it in the game. Please note that generative AI does not generate any game content during gameplay.
Some of this game's assets were made with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed, curated and hand-finished by the developer. No content is generated while you play.
Some content was created with the assistance of generative AI tools: 2D store and
marketing art (library capsule and library hero), the game's localization into
non-English languages, and portions of in-game flavour text. All localization was
reviewed before shipping. All in-game visuals are generated procedurally at runtime
from code, all sound effects are synthesised at runtime, and all music is
human-composed and licensed under CC BY 4.0. The game performs no AI generation at
runtime and connects to no external AI service.
Some pre-rendered artwork and marketing assets were created with generative AI tools and then reviewed and edited by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate new content during gameplay.
I'm not a professional game developer or artist. Making my own game had been a dream for years, but I never knew how to turn that dream into reality. Generative AI became the tool that finally made it possible.
With its help, I created many of the game's visual and audio assets, including item, UI, skill, and module icons, character portraits, ships, space stations, backgrounds, the game icon, the Steam store artwork, and some of the sound effects. It also assisted me with programming.
But Star Corsairs is not a game that AI simply generated. Every asset was reviewed, rejected, refined, or replaced until it matched the vision I had in mind. Every gameplay system was designed, tested, and reworked repeatedly until it felt right. The economy, ship balance, pirate AI, combat, and progression were all shaped through countless hours of playtesting and manual iteration. The story, world, and all of the writing were created by me.
Without generative AI, this game would probably never have existed. But without the countless creative decisions, revisions, and work behind every part of it, Star Corsairs wouldn't exist either.
Kaperfahrt uses AI generated assets in two places. Both are placeholders and are being replaced with commissioned work.
The portrait illustrations on the wanted posters of the 23 Blacklist pirates were made with an AI image generator. They were bought as finished assets.
The soundtrack, the ambient audio and the spoken lines of the Blacklist pirates were made with Suno under a paid commercial licence.
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.
This game used AI generated content in early phases for help with game art. This content was later modified or changed completely to achieve the creative vision of the developer.
Some of the art and audio assets in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Specifically, certain 3D models, UI icons, and background music tracks were generated using AI and then reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. No AI-generated content is created live during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used as an editorial and localization assistant for some written content in the game and on the Steam store page. All such text is reviewed, revised, and approved by the development team. The game does not use generative AI at runtime.
Most of the art assets in this game are human-made, but there are some AI-generated portraits of African, Indian, and East Asian characters, since the (human-made) portrait packs used did not contain all ethnic groups represented in the game.
All dialogue in the game is human-directed and edited, but some was AI-generated in order to flesh out the world with unique dialogue for every region and situation.
The developer used generative AI tools during development to help create some art assets (such as character portraits, sprites, and background art) and marketing materials (store capsules and trailers), and to assist with text localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer. The game itself does not generate any content in real time and does not connect to AI services during gameplay.
Some placeholder artwork and images currently use generative AI or AI-assisted enhancement. These assets may be replaced or revised during development.
Generative AI was used as an assistive tool for some parts of the following game development tasks:
(Background images, item images, coloring of character artwork, sound, code review, optimization, and localization text.)
Generative AI was used only for limited enhancements to marketing visuals, texture edits, and selected SFX.
Gameplay systems and mechanics do not rely on AI-generated content.
All generated assets are owned and licensed by us.
During the development of Plunder Bay, AI-powered tools were used to assist in the creation of the following content:
- Store Page Graphics: Promotional images and capsule art were created with AI image generation tools (Leonardo AI) and edited manually.
- Sound Effects: Some sound effects were generated using AI audio tools (ElevenLabs) for specific game events.
- Menu Background: The main menu background visual was created with AI video generation tools (Runway).
All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer to ensure quality and consistency. AI was used as a creative tool to assist a solo developer, not as a replacement for game design decisions.
All 3D assets are from Synty Studios. Due to budget constraints (rideshare driver) I used generative AI for some pre-rendered artwork, store/marketing imagery, and voiceover content (I intend to replace all that by human-made content over time). The game does not use live generative AI during gameplay.
Pirate Twist is made by a solo developer, and generative AI tools were used across production. Specifically:
Art — some in-game visual art and the store capsule art were generated with Higgsfield image models against a fixed art-direction style, then hand-edited by the developer's wife: cut out, composited, colour-matched and retouched before going into the build.
Audio — the seven music tracks were generated with Suno (Premier). Sound effects were generated with the ElevenLabs Sound Effects API (Creator). All were then edited, pitch-shifted and mastered by the developer's wife.
Code — written with AI coding assistance.
No AI runs at runtime. Nothing is generated on your machine while you play, and the game makes no AI service calls during play.
Full commissioned art and audio is one of the items on the Roadmap for final release.
The game contains in-game narrative and dialogue text that was created with the assistance of generative AI and then reviewed by the developer. All artwork and music are human-created.
FOAMGRAVE includes some AI-assisted content, including certain visual assets (such as menu/loading screen artwork) and music/audio created using generative AI tools. All gameplay systems, programming, world design, and final integration were created and implemented by the developer.
We use AI as a creative assistant to refine our English descriptions and ensure they are easy to read and engaging (since we are not native speakers). In addition, some of the game’s illustrations were created with the help of generative AI tools and later refined by human artists.
Some visual assets such as fictional product packaging, posters, decorative graphics, icons and marketing materials were created with the help of generative AI and then reviewed/edited before being included in the game.
While we are generally against generative AI, we cannot guarantee that no AI generated content will end up in the game. We are using store bought assets and third party translations and we are not taking on the additional stress of verifying if they are 100% AI free. We will however deliver as much handcrafted material as possible.
We are a small studio with only six people actively involved in development. For teams like ours, generative AI is a supportive tool that helps us realize a creative vision that would otherwise be completely out of reach within our budget.
Here is exactly how we utilized generative AI in our game:
• We used generative AI during the prototyping and concept art phases. Every AI-generated image was manually modified, iterated upon, and finalized by our artist.
• The sea shanties in the game feature AI-generated vocals and music, but the lyrics are original and written by our team.
• Certain voice-over (VO) lines were generated using AI.
The card artwork in the current version of the game was created using generative AI tools and then manually edited and refined by the developer. AI was not used for gameplay code or core story content. These artworks are intended as temporary assets and are planned to be replaced with commissioned artwork in the future.
We used AI to generate initial music tracks, concept art, and temporary translations into some languages.
All materials were then thoroughly edited, reworked, and finalized by humans.
Nothing went straight from the generator into the game.
