AI was used for some code generation and as part of a technique for cleaning-up of 3D scans. 3D scans were created of real lightguns using both a laser based scanner and photogrammetry, and then both models were combined using a frontier AI model for a final clean 3D scan results with higher quality game-ready topography and polycounts.
Generative AI was used to draft text only: the in-game interface strings, the achievement names and descriptions, their translations into 13 non-English languages, and this store page. All of it was reviewed and edited by the developer before release.
No AI-generated images, audio or video are used. This game ships with no image or audio files at all — every shape, sound and note is produced by the game's own code at run time.
Nothing is generated while you play. The game makes no network calls and contacts no AI service.
Pre-generated AI content: TROPHY FLEET's visual assets and its synthetic character voice performances were produced using AI image and voice generation as a starting point during development. Every generated asset was then selected, chroma-keyed against a solid key background, retouched, resized and hand-aligned by the developer before shipping. Boss artwork is collision-aligned to gameplay: each visible weak point on a boss sprite corresponds to an actual targetable hitbox at that exact position. Source masters and shipped runtime assets are both retained in the project repository.
The soundtrack is not AI-generated. It consists of 39 CC0-licensed music tracks, curated per world and normalized to -16 LUFS, with full attribution shipped in the game's THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES file.
All game design, code, level authoring, enemy behaviour, boss mechanics and balance systems are the developer's own work.
The game generates no content while it is running. It sends no player data or prompts to any AI service or any other service, requires no network connection, and functions fully offline.
Generative AI tools were used throughout development to create all of the game's visual art assets and program code, as well as localization and promotional materials. All outputs were directed, reviewed, edited, tested, and integrated under the developer's supervision. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
Development used generative AI tools to create pre-generated visual assets: seven battlefield and escalation backgrounds, twenty-six combat-art atlases, and one progression-card atlas (34 bitmap files total). AI tools also helped translate the store page and in-game text from the original, manually written English into eight languages. All generated content is pre-generated and curated; the game does not generate content while running. No third-party logos, characters, or source art were used as image-generation references.
Starflare Dominion uses generative AI in two ways. Some visual assets, music, and sound effects were created with assistance from generative AI tools and were selected, edited, processed, and integrated by Whimstead LLC. During Story play, hosted OpenAI models may generate bounded narrative text, including pilot backgrounds, quotes, Cantina news, Old Man Rich stories, campaign consequences, and final legends. Players do not directly prompt an unrestricted chatbot. Generated text is checked by structured rules and validators, with retries and curated local fallback content when needed.
Generative AI tools were used to create some of the pre-rendered content that ships with this game and appears on this store page, specifically artwork and character voice audio. Nothing is generated by AI while the game is running.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating all pre-rendered artwork, including environment backgrounds, menu and branding art, icons, and promotional/title-card images. These assets were reviewed and integrated by the developer. No content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
The game's art and sound are drawn and synthesised in code at runtime rather than shipped as asset files, and that code was written with AI coding assistance under human direction. No AI runs while the game is playing. The soundtrack is licensed human-authored works.
All pre-rendered visual artwork was created using generative AI under developer direction. This includes environment backgrounds, interface and menu artwork, branding, icons, and promotional/title-card images.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine some pre-generated content. Codex was used for parts of the 3D model work, GPT Image was used to generate parts of the user interface, and AI tools assisted with some text and some Steam store and marketing visuals. These assets were reviewed and integrated by the developer. No audio or music was created with generative AI. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI was used during development to create visual assets and other non-dialogue content included in the game. Generated assets were selected, edited, and integrated as part of the development process.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of [artwork, voice audio, text, and localization]. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation and refinement of some pre-generated game content, including visual assets, audio, and development materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Electric Crust was designed, built, and directed by its developer, Charles Whetstone. I used generative AI as a production assistance tool for a subset of shipping assets including some sprite artwork that began in Midjourney output before being manipulated and reworked by hand, along with soundtrack being initially created with assistance of Suno. Both were used under paid commercial licenses.
The game performs no live or runtime AI generation. Every asset is fixed and authored before release, and the game makes no network calls
of any kind.

The developer describes how their game uses Generative AI in the development process:
- Pre-generated Content: Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating concept art, text drafts, and localization text. All AI-assisted assets were subsequently reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer.
- The game does not contain any live-generated AI content during gameplay.
Some of the 2D artwork and animation frames in this game were produced with the assistance of generative AI tools. Every AI-assisted asset was reviewed and edited by me (the developer) before shipping. The game contains no live-generated AI content — all art, animation, and text are fixed at release and identical for every player.
We used AI tools in two places during development, and in neither of them to replace creative work.
Our French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean localisations are made using AI. We also used AI assistance while writing and restructuring parts of our codebase.
Everything players see and hear — art, animation, sound, music, game design and all original writing — was made by people.
There is usage of generative AI in two places and everything it produced has been reviewed. The soundtrack was created with the assistance of AI, and some of the writing was drafted with an AI assistant and then edited afterwards: card, UI and help text, the Simplified Chinese translation, and the store page and marketing copy. Nothing else is model output — the logo, the app icon and every visual in the game are drawn by the game's own code from geometry in the source, and the sound effects are synthesized as you play.
AI-enabled tools were used during development to assist with asset creation. Some visual and audio assets in the finished game incorporate AI-assisted or AI-generated source material. For more information, visit https://jetgrave.com/ai-use/
Artificial Intelligence Usage Notice:
We have used some generative models to prototype new ideas, and some of them have been made into production. However, AI-generated content is no more than 1% of the total game assets and arts.
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 pre-made content was created with the help of generative AI and curated by the developer: promotional/splash artwork and some item icons, several source 3D meshes, background music tracks, and portions of in-game flavor text. The game does not generate any content at runtime.
