Generative AI tools were used in making Hopwood. The music and sound effects were created with ElevenLabs. The game’s icon was created with an image generator (OpenAI). The story, dialogue and other in-game text, their English and French translations, and part of the code were written with AI assistants (Claude) under the developer’s direction. The level, creature and interface art comes from licensed asset packs (Platformer 2D Game Kit, Sunny Land, Bamao UI); the temporary sprites of some characters were drawn by a script and will be replaced. Nothing is generated by AI while you play, and the game does not connect to any external AI service.
