Zompioland

OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex, including image-generation tools accessed through them, were used during the development of Zompioland. AI-assisted work includes programming and development scripts, code used to construct procedural 3D models and visual effects, interface elements, localization, and written in-game text. AI assistance was also used to create and prepare pre-generated Steam marketing materials, including capsule and library artwork, header graphics, the game logo, store-page text, and the trailer's planning, titles, and editing. The trailer's gameplay footage was captured from the actual game. Steam gameplay screenshots are direct captures of the game, while AI-assisted promotional artwork is presented as store graphics rather than gameplay screenshots. The developer reviewed, edited, tested, and integrated the AI-assisted work. Some models and effects are assembled while the game runs by conventional game code; this is not live generative AI. Zompioland does not connect to a generative AI service or use a generative AI model to create new content during gameplay.
