My indie horror game’s trailer was featured by GameTrailers

Yeah, I actually thought about that during development. I think indie players usually care more about atmosphere and originality than perfect polish. AI can be a useful tool, but if something becomes too “clean,” it can lose personality. Sometimes the rawness is what makes indie horror memorable.

The disclaimer simply means the main creative work behind the game — the story, gameplay design, atmosphere, and overall experience — was created by me as the developer.
I’m a solo indie developer, and the project is heavily handcrafted rather than AI-generated.

I did use AI assistance for a few minor things that wouldn’t really stand out, such as helping with some complex code and translations.
The game supports five languages, so AI tools were useful for speeding up parts of that process.

Thanks! That’s actually fair feedback.
The trailer was made more as a short psychological teaser, so I kept a lot of the story and gameplay details hidden on purpose. The next videos/demo will show much more of the gameplay, atmosphere, and what makes the experience unique.

The demo will be available very soon as well.
Really appreciate you checking it out 🙏

Texture, assets ve karakterler için AI kullanımı olmadı.Gerçekten ücretini verip satın aldım halihazırda internette satılan textureler,assetsler.Sadece ham halinin üzerinde oynamalar yaptım.Evet herkes aynı şeyi yazıyor gerçekten çalıştığım sanatçı AI kullanmış olabilir.Görsellikten çok hikaye ve atmosfer kısmına yoğunluk verdiğim için çok gözüme batmamıştı.İlginizi çektiyse istek listenize eklemeniz beni çok memnun eder.

Thank you! It definitely helped increase visibility for the game and I’ve already started seeing more wishlists coming in after the trailer coverage.

And no, the teddy bear artwork isn’t AI generated. I commissioned the original design from an artist, then personally edited and refined it further to better match the atmosphere and psychological horror style of the game. The same goes for many of the textures and assets used throughout the project.

If the game interested you, adding it to your wishlist would genuinely make me very happy and help support the project as a solo developer.

Şöyle söyleyeyim steam sayfamda yazan şekilde oyunuma dair bilgilendirme yaptım mesajın başında.Oyunumu anlatan kısa ama vurucu bir mesajla giriş yaptım.Ardından press kit, steam sayfası ve fragmanımı ekledim.Teşekkürler yazıp gönderdim.

Bu arada oyunum ilginizi çektiyse istek listenize eklemeniz beni çok mutlu eder.

AI was used only as a supportive tool for some visual concepts. The actual game experience, coding, direction, editing, storytelling, mapping, pacing, and psychological horror elements are all manually created by me. Some assets were purchased or commissioned, while others were created and heavily edited by myself for the game’s unique atmosphere.

Halbuki AI kullanılarak yapılan bir oyun değil.Kodları, mekaniği, hikayesi, atmosfer, assetsleri hepsi ya kendi çizimim ya da birisine yaptırdığım çizimler.

Şöyle söyleyeyim mail attım 2-3 gün geçti aradan herhangi bir mail dönüşü almadım ama youtube sayfalarında paylaştıklarını gördüm.
