What the developer says
ARB: Alien Races Battle is developed by a solo human author (Raphael Tremblay) with assistance from Anthropic's Claude AI as a coding, art, and writing collaborator throughout production. Specifically: - Some pixel-art unit sprites, ability icons, and UI elements were generated as SVG code with Claude's help, then reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. - In-game ability descriptions, Field Manual codex entries, and supplementary lore text were written with Claude as a writing collaborator, all building on the existing canon of The Alien Races Book (a separate, fully human-authored book by the same author that predates this game by years). - Game code (gameplay engine, multiplayer infrastructure, UI logic) was developed with Claude as a coding-pair assistant. Every piece of AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the human developer before shipping. The game's core IP — the 60+ documented alien races, their homeworlds, and their first-contact records — comes from The Alien Races Book and is entirely human-authored. ARB does not use AI to generate content live during gameplay. All in-game content (units, sprites, abilities, sound, text, music) is finalized at build time and shipped as static assets.

| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with some sprites, icons, UI, and writing, while core IP and canon come from a prior human-authored book. The developer reviewed and edited all AI-assisted content, and only one game shipped in the last year. This points to limited AI use within a real solo development effort. Against: AI was also used as a coding assistant across the engine and multiplayer, and the game has few reviews with low positive rating, though volume signals don't meet the high-effort-risk threshold. |
