Some of the 3D art assets in Night Falls were created with the help of generative AI 3D-generation tools. These assets were then reviewed, edited, rigged, and integrated into the game by the developer. The translation of the menu and interface text into the supported languages was also produced by AI. Also, the image that is used in the Steam library as a capsule or Header, and the image of the icon.Generative AI is not used live during gameplay, all content is pre-generated and finalized during development.

For the store page and in-game multilingual texts, the Simplified Chinese version was written entirely by the developer. All other languages (Traditional Chinese, English, Russian, French, Japanese, and Latin American Spanish) were translated with the assistance of generative AI. All core content of the game (mechanic design, scene construction, character and story development, art assets, and audio) was independently created by the developer. AI was used solely for language localization and did not participate in the generation of any other content.

Lane Wars uses generative AI only for some pre-made 2D artwork: the game's icon, main-menu key art, and the Steam store capsule/promotional images were created with AI image-generation tools and then edited by the developer. Some trailer and marketing music was made with an AI music tool. Everything you interact with in-game — the 3D characters, environments, HUD, visual and sound effects, and all gameplay systems — is hand-built and procedurally generated in code, not AI-generated. The game does not use any generative AI at runtime.
