The developer first created a visual guide for the character NULL. Based on that guide, Meshy AI was used to create one pre-generated 3D character model. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay. All other game content, music, audiovisual works, film, website, and Unreal Engine and Wwise systems were created by the developer.
Parts of this store page description, along with the in-game achievement names and descriptions, were drafted with the help of an AI assistant and then reviewed and edited by the developer. All artwork, animation, music, sound design, level design and gameplay content in Boomfrog was made by hand or generated procedurally in code. The game does not use generative AI while you play. Nothing in Boomfrog is created or altered by AI at runtime.
Spacetime Chronicles comes from a handmade animated feature: most of what you see are real paper sets, characters and props, photographed and animated frame by frame by the author. Generative AI was used in the following areas. Images: roughly 15% of the game's images were created or completed with generative AI, then edited and integrated by the author. Audio: the game's sound effects and character voices were produced using generative AI tools. Code: parts of the game's source code were written and reviewed with the help of AI assistants. All of this content was generated during development, reviewed and approved by the author before release. The game does not generate any AI content while you play, and it does not connect to any AI service at runtime.
Marketing and Store Visuals: AI tools were utilized during the concept design and background detailing phases for the thumbnail images, posters, and promotional materials on the Steam store page.
Sound Design and Trailer Music: AI-powered sound and music production tools were used in the prototyping and production processes for the game’s promotional trailers and in-game atmospheric background sounds.
Text and Localization Support: AI assistants were used to edit store page descriptions, marketing copy, and language optimization.
Some art assets, sound effects and narrative materials were pre‑generated with AI tools during development. No AI‑generated content is created in real‑time during gameplay.
WICKLING was built with AI assistance. Generative AI was used during development to help write the game's code, its pixel art, its level layouts and some of its writing, and to help produce this store page and its artwork.
The soundtrack is not AI-generated. Every note is a hand-written 2A03 chiptune, synthesised by the game as it runs rather than played back from audio files, which is why the horror systems can bend the music live.
Nothing in WICKLING is generated while you play. Every level, sprite, line of text and piece of music is fixed and identical for every player, and the game makes no network requests of any kind.
A message from The Narrator:
“The developer already had the rooms, layouts, colour schemes and designs in mind before using generative AI to help turn those ideas into visual starting points. He then edited and modified the results himself to create the final environments used in the game. The creative direction, game design, writing, narration and voice acting are his own. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay
The game will connect to an open-source local large language model that is already built into the game upon first launch, and use it during gameplay to generate NPC dialogues, host responses, and reasoning review feedback. Players may also choose to access compatible third‑party large language model APIs. The text generated at runtime is based on player questions and current story data.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of some pre-generated visual assets, character elements, voice-over, music, localization and promotional text. Some of these assets were further edited and refined by the developer before being included in the final game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of some systems, 3D models, textures, and localized translations included in the game.
Artificial intelligence tools are used only for concept art/design references and text translations. No AI-generated content is used directly in the final in-game assets.
Some of the textures and images in this game were created with the help of generative AI tools, and AI tools also assisted with the game's localization and store page text. All of this content was reviewed and edited by the developer before release.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of selected UI graphics, localization, and text content. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the final product. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to create portions of the pre-rendered promotional trailer and to assist with the production of some visual assets. No content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI tools were utilized to generate initial texture concepts. All final in-game assets were extensively modified, hand-edited, and integrated manually.
Hellternum is developed by a small independent studio. Some visual elements — certain in-game illustrations, textures and marketing images — were produced with the help of generative AI tools, always under direct human art direction and edited by hand to fit the game's visual identity.
Everything else is human-made: design, writing, level design, code and audio.
We think you should know this before you play.
We are team of two with a design and development background. We have a combined decades experience shipping production-quality code and art. We use AI along with our other tools, like Blender, Substance, etc. to help us build our vision. We use AI in the early stage of concept development and prototyping, coding assistance, but everything that makes it in-game is hand-crafted and authored by us. The music is played by hand real instruments. All screen captures are 100% in-game with no alterations.
This game includes a small amount of generative AI content used only for optional tutorial and demonstration materials. These pre‑generated, G‑rated assets illustrate how the game’s IN‑OUT‑based timing loop works. They do not appear in normal gameplay and do not influence any game systems. All core mechanics, visuals, audio, and interactive content are fully handcrafted and do not use AI generation during play.
This game uses generative AI tools in the creation of some of its pre-rendered content, including parts of its artwork and store page assets. All AI-assisted material was reviewed, edited, and approved by the development team before being included in the final product. No content is generated by AI during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI service while running.
In-game background and character artwork, as well as store graphical assets, were pre-rendered using generative AI and manually reviewed and edited by the developer. All narrative text was written by the developer. No live-generated content.
Generative AI tools were used during the early production stage to create preliminary visual assets and reference materials. All AI-assisted assets included in the final game were manually edited, refined, and reviewed by our designers.
Ward 9 uses developer-curated generative AI tools during production for selected marketing/community artwork, narrative drafting support, and voice/audio asset creation. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer before inclusion. The game does not use live generative AI to create player-facing content during gameplay.
Artificial intelligence was used to assist with interface localization and adaptation of in-game textures.
There was a time when people used Google Translate, and terrible localization for many languages was common. Times have changed, progress does not stand still. Today, new and more advanced tools have emerged, and people now use them instead of outdated ones.
Generative AI was used to translate some in-game text, such as the interface and the contents of letters, and to generate some of the music used in the game.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating select 2D artwork for this game illustrations for collectible cards, artwork for the card battle/arena scene, and the game's logo and store capsule art. All AI-assisted artwork was selected, edited, and finalized by the development team before inclusion. Generative AI was not used to create the 3D open-world environment, or other gameplay systems/mechanics. This is for the demo build, and some or all AI-assisted art may be replaced with original human-made artwork in the full release.
This game contains pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI, including selected visual assets, music, sound effects, and written content. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and curated by the developer before release. The game does not use generative AI to create content live while players are playing.
As a solo developer, I made use of AI for generation of models and music to act as base components. These typically went through much manual editing afterwards.
Some AI was used for testing & improvements to code in some areas
