Generative AI was used during the development of this game to assist with portions of the artwork, programming, and translation. All generated content was reviewed and edited by the developer as necessary.

All 2D artwork (hwatu card illustrations, character portraits, backgrounds) and music tracks were created using generative AI tools, then curated, edited, and assembled by the developer. All AI content is pre-rendered during development — nothing is generated live at runtime. Localization was machine-assisted and human-reviewed. Store page assets were produced the same way.

Pre-generated AI-assisted content is used in some 2D artwork, including unit sprites, character portraits, card illustrations, battlefield backgrounds, visual effects, UI decorative elements, and store and marketing artwork. AI assistance was also used for portions of in-game text and English/Japanese localization. All such content is generated before release and curated and edited by the developer. The game does not generate content during gameplay and does not connect to a generative AI service at runtime.

This game contains pre-generated 2D artwork and source code created with ChatGPT during development. All game source code was generated with ChatGPT, then reviewed, tested, debugged, and integrated by the developer. The artwork was generated from original prompts written for Gravefire Tavern, then reviewed, selected, edited, composited, cropped, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an AI service.

AI was used as an assistant for programming.

I developed this game entirely on my own, handling all the game design, hand-drawn artwork, and music composition myself.Only the translations/localizations were generated by AI.

AI was used in the coding and content creation for this game. That should not take away from this project the thousands of hours spent on its creation, honing and reshaping its style, direction and gameplay which was all done by a human.

Broken Rift: Dominion includes a packaged offline language model used within its diplomacy and faction-strategy systems. The model interprets structured game state to produce personality-consistent diplomatic communications and strategic preferences. Its outputs are constrained by the game’s rules. Processing occurs entirely on the player’s device, and no data is transmitted to external AI services.All pre-rendered visual artwork was created using generative AI under developer direction. This includes environment backgrounds, interface and menu artwork, branding, icons, and promotional/title-card images.
