1101

Our Creative Approach: A Human-First Duo and AI Disclosure We are a passionate two-person team dedicated to bringing 1101 to life. To achieve the visual depth and cinematic quality we envisioned as a small studio, we utilized AI-assisted tools specifically for cinematic refinement, 3D texturing and modeling. Here is exactly how we use AI to support our hand-crafted work: From Concept to 3D Reality Our 3D creation process combines traditional artistry with modern efficiency. Once we finalize a self-made image reference, hand-drawn sketch or a custom-generated image reference, we use AI-assisted modeling tools to convert that 2D vision into a 3D base mesh. The Human Touch This AI-assisted object is only the starting point. As a two-person team, we then step in to manually refine the geometry, adjust the proportions, and hand-modify the details. This "Human-in-the-Loop" approach allows us to bridge the gap between a 2D idea and a high-quality 3D asset, ensuring every object fits perfectly within our world’s hand-crafted design. Cinematics: AI tools helped us polish visuals in our cinematics, allowing us to deliver high-quality storytelling that would typically require a much larger team. Everything else is human-made. From the core gameplay mechanics and level design to the dialogue, music, and sound effects, every "soul" of this game comes directly from our hands. Ultimately, being an indie underdog means being resourceful. Using these tools wasn't about cutting corners; it was about bridging the gap to deliver a high-quality experience that a duo could otherwise never achieve. We’ve used technology to work harder on what matters most: making a game you'll love to play.
