Capy of Gods features artwork from many different artists—most enemy, boss, and weapon spritesheets, among other assets, were purchased from independent creators. As a solo developer, I used generative AI tools to bring to life some of the original art I had envisioned for the game (certain sprites, icons, and illustrations), as well as some sound effects, ambient sound, and voices. Every AI-assisted asset was then manually refined and repainted by hand until it matched exactly what I had imagined. All of this content is pre-rendered and hand-integrated into the game—nothing is generated live during play. Each asset was individually reviewed and curated before inclusion, and I hold commercial-use rights for all the tools involved.

This game uses assisted generative AI, source material created by real people and enhanced with AI.

All artwork, music, sound effects, and prewritten narrative content in Warrior Quest are human-created by the game’s solo developer. Generative AI is not used to create the game’s visual or audio assets.Warrior Quest uses live-generated AI for its free-form diplomacy system. Players can type their own dialogue, which a locally running language model interprets to generate in-character NPC responses and determine the player’s intended actions. Diplomacy can meaningfully affect the adventure. For example, players may uncover information, negotiate passage, discover new objectives, form alliances or alter story progression through conversation.AI-interpreted actions are validated and resolved by the game’s authored rules, dice systems, and available story states. Generated conversations can vary between playthroughs, allowing player creativity to influence how the adventure unfolds.The language model runs locally and entirely offline. No internet connection is required for AI-powered diplomacy.

English translation assisted by LLMs, with all translated text reviewed by humans.

This game uses AI for the trailer voiceover and for all translations.

The promotional images on the store page and the music in the game are using AI.

I'm a solo developer making this game entirely on my own with a zero budget. Without AI, I would've gone mad creating such a massive project. It would've taken around 15 years just to reach Early Access.To be completely transparent: during development, I may use AI tools to assist with content creation, primarily for routine tasks. However, everything is always manually reviewed and refined by me. The workflow is strictly: My work → AI → My work.

AI was used to generate art. I'm not an artist and didnt have money to hire out artists. I'm a solo dev who had an idea and needed ai to help me make it real. I generated some images 100 plus times to make sure the style didnt drift. I photoshopped AI images to get what I wanted. AI generated images were guided by my thoughts the entire time.

Some promotional key art (store capsule illustrations and website artwork) was created with generative AI tools and then curated and edited by the developer. All in-game content - graphics (procedural vector rendering), gameplay, text, and audio - is hand-authored. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime and does not connect to any AI service.

AI-powered tools were used in the creation of certain sound effects in Chop Loop.

This game does not generate or modify content at runtime.A portion of assets (around 20%) was made with the help of some generative AI tools during development.All such assets were manually edited, reviewed, and finalized to ensure originality, quality, and compliance with copyright and safety standards.
