What the developer says
I’m a solo developer with an ambitious vision for Castle Against the Dark. I use generative AI to help with coding so I can focus more on the bigger picture: the gameplay, how the systems work together, the atmosphere, and how the game feels to play. For me, it’s a way to bring ambitious ideas to life without having to scale them back because of the technical workload. I set the creative direction, make the design decisions, and take responsibility for the final game. Generative AI was also used to create the logo featured in the store page artwork.
