Bar Baron's game design, code, simulation systems, balance and all in-game text are written by hand.Generative AI was used as a production tool in two places: some of the game's 3D props-furniture,bar equipment, kitchen and decor items-were produced with AI tools, and part of the soundtrack isAI-generated music.Those props were made specifically for Bar Baron, following our own art direction, and were thenreviewed, optimized and placed by hand-this is not a game assembled from generic asset packs.Character models are not AI-generated.Nothing is generated while you play. The game runs no generative AI at runtime: every system, everyevent and every number in the simulation was authored by a person.

Generative AI was used to support parts of the game’s development.

Generative AI tools were used during development to create or assist with portions of the game's pre-generated visual artwork, including horse illustrations, environmental backgrounds, contract and item icons, decorative UI artwork, the game logo, and Steam store and library artwork. AI-assisted tools were also used to draft or refine portions of in-game text and localization.All such materials were generated before release, then reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer, and are included in the game as fixed assets. No AI content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI service.

Some sound effects, written content, and artwork were generated with AI and then manually edited and refined.

Generative AI was used as an assistive tool for translating parts of the scenario and in-game text. All translated content has been thoroughly reviewed, refined, and proofread manually by the developer to ensure natural phrasing and quality.

Used AI voice over for english on trailer

Generative AI tools were used to create store page graphic assets, in-game textures, and assist with writing part of the game code.

AI was used to assist with the localization of some language versions. The translations were reviewed by the developer through proofreading and back-translation checks.

AI was used to create the images, but the character sprites were redrawn by artist, and the backgrounds were edited in a graphics editor. To create the music, AI was used as a reference, and then the composer created his tracks based on it.

In some cases we use image generative AI to help us create or edit some UI elements (e.g. frames, bot avatar images).

Eternal Rift Defense uses AI-assisted tools during development to help generate and refine certain code, audio, visual assets, and design elements. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, modified, and validated by the developers to ensure quality, security, and consistency with the game’s design.

Some textures and assets are AI-assisted.Some audio tracks are AI-assisted.
