Read the full disclosureQuoted from the Steam store page
Wickwood is made by one developer, and generative AI was used openly in its production. Here is exactly where:
- Code: the game's GDScript code, the pixel-drawing scripts and the build/test tools were written with Claude (Anthropic) under the developer's design, direction and review.
- Text: the in-game notes and place descriptions, the ending credits and the store page copy were drafted with Claude and edited and approved by the developer.
- Music: all music tracks (world, main menu, finale) were generated with Google's Lyria from prompts written by the developer.
- Artwork: tilesets, characters and creatures are hand-drawn commercial pixel-art packs (credited in-game), not AI-generated. Some landmark props (the standing stones, the cave interiors, the bunker hatch and similar pieces) were drawn or assembled pixel by pixel by scripts written with Claude, using the palettes and parts of those packs.
- Sound effects were sourced from Freesound and Kenney's sound packs.
- Store art (capsules, logo, icons) was made by hand; screenshots and video are captured from the game itself.
No AI runs during gameplay: nothing is generated live, and the game does not connect to any online AI service.
