Guildmaster Simulator

Guildmaster Simulator is an independently developed game, and generative AI has been one of the tools that has helped me bring it to life.

When I first started development, AI was particularly valuable as a learning and development assistant. It helped me understand unfamiliar concepts, explore solutions, and develop the skills and confidence to begin implementing and improving more of the game myself. As development has progressed, I've continued building on that knowledge and becoming more independent in my work.

As I'm not a professional artist or illustrator, generative AI has also helped me create character portraits, selected visual assets, interface elements, and promotional artwork. These assets are reviewed, refined, and adapted to fit the game's overall style and direction. While they've been incredibly helpful in getting the game to where it is today, my long-term goal is to gradually replace AI-generated artwork with original, commissioned assets as development progresses and resources allow.

Generative AI has also assisted with portions of the game's written content, including some quest descriptions, events, and narrative elements. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by me before being included to ensure it fits the world, characters, and overall vision of Guildmaster Simulator.

AI has been a valuable part of my journey as a solo developer, both in helping me create the game and in teaching me skills I can continue to build upon. However, the creative direction, design decisions, gameplay systems, and ongoing development remain my own responsibility.

No generative AI is used during gameplay. All AI-assisted content is created during development, reviewed before inclusion, and included as fixed content within the game.
