What the developer says
Hexpanse is a solo developer's experiment in building a game 100% with AI, and it is developed with AI assistance (including its source code). The game itself is built almost entirely from procedural, code-generated pixel art and synthesized audio — produced algorithmically by our own code, not by AI. Generative AI was used in two limited, pre-rendered ways: (1) as a starting point for some ship and station part illustrations, later cleaned up, processed and integrated by hand; and (2) to produce the neural text-to-speech voice-over of the intro cinematic. In Early Access, the community feedback I find relevant feeds the AI-assisted development. No generative AI runs while you play — nothing is generated live in-game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some ship/station part illustrations and the intro cinematic voice-over, both visible to players. Most art and audio is code-generated procedurally, and the developer describes hand cleanup and integration. No live generation and no volume-release pattern. Against: Developer calls the project an experiment built 100% with AI assistance, including source code, which suggests broader AI involvement than the shipped assets alone. |
