The game uses AI only for textures and code

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.

The game is developed entirely by a solo developer. AI has therefore only been leveraged as a tool for productivity and efficiency - the overall game is fully imagined, designed, and brought together by the developer.

Standard C++ game code, written during development with the assistance of an AI programming assistant, used as a pair-programming tool. This includes gameplay systems (crafting, inventory, world simulation), rendering and UI code, and development tooling. It is ordinary, static game logic. AI assistance was used only during development, directed by myself through specific requests, with every change reviewed, tested, and committed to version control by myself. The shipped game contains no AI models and does not execute or generate any code or content via AI at runtime. The game is a fully offline, single-player experience.

Development of the game's code was assisted with AI, and some icons are AI generated.

Generative AI was used during development as a coding assistant and to assist with drafting and translating store-page and marketing text. Some pixel-art assets were rendered by deterministic drawing code written with AI assistance; the final images were not directly output by a text-to-image or diffusion model. All shipped and published content was reviewed and edited by the developer. No generative AI runs in the game, and no content is generated from player input.

All artwork (characters, monsters, environments, visual effects) and much of the game's code were created with generative AI tools. No content is AI-generated while the game runs.

AI was used for inspiration in logos and lore refinement.

Some pre-generated visual and audio assets used in TOWERPULSE were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. These assets were selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. TOWERPULSE does not use generative AI at runtime. No player prompts, gameplay content, dialogue, or other assets are generated live while the game is running.

AI assistance was used to create and visually enhance some of the visuals in the trailer.

This game used generative AI tools during development to assist with a limited portion of visual and audio asset creation. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and curated by the developer before release. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were utilized for auxiliary purposes in the production of some assets. These assets were modified and supplemented by professional art personnel and were finally applied to the game.

All shipped assets are first-party or CC0/OFL-licensed human-made packs. Some 3D meshes (enemy armor fused onto CC0 base rigs, the drone, weapon models) and the entire soundtrack are produced by deterministic, first-party procedural build scripts; those scripts were written with the help of an AI code assistant. No image-, audio- or voice-generation model produced any shipped asset. The game's written text — squad comms, item and mission descriptions, narrative screens — and this store page's copy were drafted with AI assistance under developer direction, then reviewed and edited by the developer. The game contains no runtime or live AI generation.

Our team uses AI tools to help develop some in-game content

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming and in the creation of certain pre-generated game assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, edited when necessary, and manually integrated by the developer. No AI-generated content is produced in real time during gameplay.

AI tools (LLMs) were used solely for programming assistance, brainstorming, and writing Unreal Engine Blueprint logic. All visual assets, 3D models, and gameplay systems were entirely created and implemented manually by the solo developer.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of pre-generated visual assets, including some game artwork and Steam store/marketing assets. All generated content is reviewed and curated before inclusion in the game or its marketing materials. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Generative KI wurde verwendet zur Erstellung erster Bilder entwürfe und zum ausarbeiten von Konzepten.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with store page text localization and marketing copy drafts. All content was reviewed and edited by the developer before publication.

The background images featured in the game were created using AI. Some of the images used in the in-game UI were generated using AI. The in-game background music (BGM) was created using AI.

We have AI placeholders for audio and visual 2D placements (i.e logo, 2D art). The rest of assets are purchased through Unity or hand made as of writing this (8/14/2026)

Some store copy, localization, and in-game Field Guide text were drafted with generative AI and then edited. No AI content is generated live in the game. Character/environment art and audio are not AI-generated unless noted.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating various game assets, including visual assets, UI elements, and some audio content. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, and integrated by the developer as part of the game's overall creative direction. The game does not use generative AI to create content in real time during gameplay.

Since all the content of the code was completed by the producer alone, it was inevitable to use AI for bug maintenance.

Software uses generative AI

We use AI to generate content for the game such as text descriptions, some images like npc portraits and ware items and to generate some stories to create immersion in the game. We also generate some voicing for dialogs using licensed voices. We also generate some other sounds such as sound effects (wind, sea waves) All content text, images, voices or sounds are reviewed manually by a human to verify the content and licensing aspects.

Portions of the game's code were written with AI assistance and reviewed, tested and integrated by the developer. Localization into non-English languages was machine-assisted and human-reviewed. Some 2D concept/marketing artwork was AI-assisted and manually refined. All gameplay, game design and audio are human-made. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.

Generative AI was used selectively during development for certain materials; all final content was refined by the developer. No real-time AI generation is used.

UI Elements, sounds.

Crystal Keeper is made by one person. I used generative AI tools during development to help create some of the game's assets, such as artwork and music, every asset was hand-picked and integrated by me. No AI is used at runtime: nothing is generated while you play.

Game Design

Some of the store promotional materials for this game (including the cover, main key visual, and some 2D UI elements) were created with the assistance of generative AI. In-game visual effects, programming, gameplay, and all other game content were developed entirely by human developers. The game does not use generative AI during runtime, nor does it collect or upload player data.

Generative AI was used during game development to assist with programming and to create some pre-generated promotional artwork. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed and edited by the developer before release.

ChatGpt was used for promo art.

AI tools were used as part of the game's visual production and post-production workflow. The game's 3D assets, environments, characters, animations, and scenes are created and rendered by the developer. AI is primarily used to upscale lower-resolution renders to higher resolutions, helping reduce rendering time while maintaining the desired visual quality. In some cinematic sequences, AI-assisted tools are also used as part of the production process. Additionally, AI may be used for certain visual corrections, modifications, or minor fixes to rendered images instead of re-rendering an entire scene. AI is therefore used as a supporting tool in the development and post-production process, while the overall artistic direction, 3D production, scene creation, rendering, and final implementation are handled by the developer.

Some visual assets, music, sound effects, and text used in this game and its Steam store page were created or assisted by generative AI. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure it meets the artistic vision and quality standards of the game.
