Terran Dawn

Terran Dawn is a solo-developed game, and generative AI tools were used

during its production. Everything AI-assisted is created ahead of time and

shipped as fixed files inside the build: the game generates nothing while

you play, contacts no AI service at runtime, and sends no player data

anywhere.

Where these tools were used:

- 3D assets: ship, station and building meshes were produced with AI

text-to-3D generation, then rescaled, re-oriented, re-textured and

hand-corrected to fit the engine.

- 2D art and textures: interface illustrations, encyclopedia art and some

surface textures were generated from hand-written prompts and edited

afterwards.

- Sound effects: a portion of the weapon, interface and explosion sounds

were generated with AI audio tools, then trimmed and mixed by hand.

- Music: the soundtrack was created with AI music generation.

- Voice-over: mission briefings and in-mission radio lines are AI

text-to-speech, performed from scripts written by the developer.

- Video transmissions: the in-game character broadcasts use a licensed

synthetic presenter and synthetic voice to deliver dialogue written by

the developer.

- Translation: the game's text was translated into its supported languages

with the help of an AI language model.

- Some of the game's source code was written with AI coding assistants.

The game's design, story, missions, rules and balance are written by the

developer. No generative AI runs while the game is playing.
