StarWorks

The game's surface textures — the colour and relief maps applied to parts, buildings, terrain and visual effects — and its sound effects were created with generative AI tools during development. They are generated ahead of time, reviewed and integrated by hand, and ship with the game as ordinary image and audio files. Nothing is generated while you play, and the game never connects to an AI service. The simulation itself — orbital mechanics, aerodynamics, the production chains — is written by hand.
