AI-generated content disclosure
Ash Run '84 is a human-designed game built with the assistance of AI tools in specific areas of development.
Gameplay, mechanics, game design, level design, balance, pixel art units, buildings, tiles, UI, and production direction were created by our two-person development team.
Commander portraits are currently AI-assisted placeholder artwork. We plan to replace them with original human-created artwork as development continues.
Music is currently AI-generated for this release. If the game receives sufficient support, we intend to commission an original soundtrack composed by a human musician.
Programming was developed by our team with AI-assisted coding tools used to accelerate implementation, debugging, testing, and iteration. All code was reviewed, integrated, and directed by the developers.
Victory isn't determined by the biggest army. It's earned by the smartest commander.
