I am a solo developer with ten years of experience, who started out as a 3D artist.Every piece of 3D art in this game was made by me: the models, the UVs, the LODs. All of the game code and architecture was designed and programmed by me.I used AI to assist me with some of the textures and the music.This is a solo project with no funding and I wanted it to follow my vision so I needed any help I could get. If I ever could afford to hire people, that is what I am going to do! So we can deliver even better quality games!

Angel Guardian has been in development for over eight years, long before the rise of modern generative AI. During that time, more than 150 artists, designers, programmers, musicians, writers, and other contributors have helped shape its world.As development evolved, we incorporated AI tools into parts of our creative pipeline including story development, dialogue iteration, enemy balancing, difficulty tuning, concept art exploration, animation prototyping, music experimentation, and voice prototyping to accelerate iteration and explore ideas more efficiently.Every AI-assisted asset and system was reviewed, directed, refined, or recreated by our development team. AI was one tool among many used to help bring our long-standing vision to life.
