Neon Armada - Solar Storm

This whole game exists because I wondered whether, with these tools, I could actually make one.

Generative AI tools were used to create assets that ship with the game. The 3D ship and enemy models were generated with Meshy AI from my own 2D concept art, and AI tools assisted with in-game text, audio, and parts of the store page and marketing materials.

The design, code and balance are mine — the wave generation, the ship and weapon tuning, the modification link-set system, the campaign structure. Seventeen worlds' worth of hand-tuned numbers.

I'm a solo developer with a full-time job and three kids. The answer to the question turned out to be yes, and this is it.
