CivEconomy

CivEconomy is designed, written and built by its developers. Every rule of the simulation, every system, every word on screen and every decision about what the game is and how it plays is ours.

As a very small team, we use generative AI as one of the tools in our production pipeline for the game's art and audio. Parts of the visual and sound material — illustrations, interface ornaments, icons, 3D assets, music and narration — were produced in a workflow that includes generative tools, working from our own concept direction, references and scripts. Nothing ships as it came out of a tool: assets are iterated through many versions, selected, edited, retextured, composited, rigged, cut, mixed and placed by hand. A large share of what you see and hear — the world, the terrain, the vegetation, the interface itself — is produced entirely by our own code.

Nothing is generated while you play. The Elder's answers, the Council's advice, the other peoples' behaviour and all the text in the game come from the game's own rules and fixed texts written by us. No AI model runs on your machine and no data is sent anywhere.
