The AI coworkers in this game are voiced by a machine (TTS), and their dialogue was really written by AI together with self portraits, on purpose and under human review. The slop is diegetic. The code was written with AI agents and reviewed by the last human in that loop, the developer. That is also the plot. No AI runs at runtime. Everything was baked and reviewed before shipping.
"Generative AI tools were used to create 2D promotional images and capsule artwork for the Steam store page. The game itself does not use real-time AI generation during gameplay."
Generative AI was used during development to generate suspect mugshot photos, dossier case texts, and to assist with language localization. All generated assets are static and pre-packaged into the game.
Some visual assets in Grandpa's Legacy (including expedition artwork and selected store/marketing images) were created or assisted with generative AI tools, then curated and edited by the development team. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while you play.
AI-assisted tools were used for all of the game visuals, audio, and code. No AI generation occurs during gameplay, and no external AI services are used while playing.
AI tools were used during development to assist with asset creation, texture generation, and development workflows. All AI-generated content was reviewed, modified, and curated by the development team.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in creating some pre-generated visual artwork and illustrative assets, including artwork used within the Chronicle system. All AI-assisted content is created and reviewed during development and is included in the game as finished assets. Echo Harvest does not use generative AI to create content dynamically during gameplay.
AI was used during development to create portions of the game’s pre-generated artwork, characters, animations, music, voices, and sound effects. These assets are included in the finished game. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.
AI tools were used for part of the art and music. Everything gets picked, cleaned up and put together by hand afterwards. There's no AI in the game itself: what you play is exactly what was built in mind.
Environments and environmental artwork are not created using generative AI.
Generative AI is used as part of the early development workflow for prototyping some creature artwork, which is going to be replaced during development.
Generative AI-assisted tools were used in the creation and development of some 3D models, audio, and visual content in the game. All such content was generated in advance during the development process and added to the game as pre-made assets. No content is generated in real time using generative AI during gameplay.
The character selection screen uses some art that has been created with the assistance of AI.
The character art display on the store page has been partially created with the assistance of AI.
Some Steam store and library artwork (capsules, hero, broadcast panels, and similar marketing images) was created with generative AI, then selected and cropped by the developer.
A few 3D props were blocked out with an AI modeling tool and then adjusted by hand for the game.
The game itself does not use generative AI while you play. Halley, the story, fishing, and locations are human-authored. Worlds and water use traditional game systems, not live AI generation.
Generative AI was used during development to create pre-generated artwork (including fictional film posters and marketing images), narration, and some text and translations. These are fixed assets shipped with the game. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an external AI service.
Generative AI was used to create some of the illustrations featured on collectible cards. The card layouts and designs were manually created and edited.
All simulation, art, audio and text in Terra Logic are hand-made — the game ships with no AI-generated content and makes no network requests by default. One optional feature can generate text at runtime: the "whisper" narrator, a single one-line ambient caption. By default it composes lines from a built-in, hand-written phrase library. Players who supply their own Anthropic (Claude) API key in a local config file may enable AI-generated phrasing for that one caption line; without a key the AI path is fully inactive. AI output never affects simulation, gameplay, art, audio, or any other text.
I'm a solo developer, and I'd rather be upfront about where AI tools were used.
The character base meshes and some of their textures were generated with AI.
Every one of them was then brought into Blender and worked over by hand. Cleaned up, edited, re-textured and animated before it went anywhere near the game.
They're all rendered with a toon shader I wrote myself.
Everything else is made by hand.
The tavern, the props and the whole environment are hand modeled.
Other than that, everything else in the game was made by me.
Select visual artwork used in Comic Shop Tycoon, including some in-game comic and product artwork as well as Steam promotional artwork, was created using generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is pre-generated and fixed. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services while running.
AI-generated content in this project is limited to the store page and marketing materials. The game build itself contains no AI-generated content.
Store page text: The store description and Early Access questionnaire answers were drafted with the assistance of a large language model, then reviewed and edited by the developer.
Not AI-generated: All in-game art, models, textures and animation. 3D assets are CC0-licensed (Kenney) or built by the developer in Blender; textures are CC0/licensed sets from Poly Haven, ambientCG and Poliigon. All screenshots and capsule images are real frames captured from the game's renderer, composited with the game's own title typography. No image generation model was used to produce any art in the game or on the store page.
A moonlighting project from a husband and father of two, where late evenings and early mornings were made a little easier by generative AI tooling. The game's art, the pilot voice-over, and the music all started as AI-generated assets that I then reviewed, edited, and shaped into the game. The direction and the decisions are mine; nothing is generated while you play. Always open to constructive feedback.
Generative AI was used to assist with some artwork, writing, localization, and game development. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer before being included. The game does not use live generative AI to create content during gameplay.
Some visual artwork used in the game and promotional materials was created with generative AI tools and then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI content is created during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some visual assets, written content, and localization used in the game and related store materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and, where necessary, edited by the developer before release. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not rely on external AI services while being played.
Some small props and interface icons in this game began as AI-generated meshes and textures (text-to-3D / image-to-3D), which were then reworked by hand, retopologised, re-scaled, colour-graded and assembled before shipping. All other art comes from licensed asset packs and hand kitbashing. Nothing is generated live: no AI runs during play, and no player input is sent to an AI service.
During development of this game, generative AI was used for the creation of some sound effects and background music, localization.
Generative AI was not used in the creation of the game's artwork or story.
This game uses generative AI tools during development for some pre-rendered assets, including store capsules and key art, character sprites, backgrounds, CGs, and certain audio. AI-assisted assets are selected and edited before inclusion. Story and game systems are human-authored.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some promotional and visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or its Steam store materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
We used generative AI tools during development to help create pre-rendered assets: part of the visual art (environments, buildings, characters and interface elements), the music, and store page artwork. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited and assembled by us. Generative AI is not used at runtime — the game generates no AI content while you play.
This game uses generative AI tools during development to assist with some content creation, including concept art, visual references, promotional materials, text drafts, and placeholder voice or sound assets. All content used in the game and on the store page is manually reviewed, edited, integrated, and approved by the developer. The game does not use real-time AI generation during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while the player is playing.
In this game, players converse with characters via free-form text input. Responses are text generated by AI and will vary depending on the player's input.
