Statement on AI

Last updated: December 2025

Our Position

Battle for Cordragia is an independent game developed with limited resources. In order to bring this game to life and make it available to players, we have made the decision to use AI-generated assets for artwork, illustrations, and other visual elements during the initial launch period.

Why AI Assets?

Creating a trading card game requires hundreds of unique pieces of artwork. Commissioning original art for each card from professional artists would cost tens of thousands of dollars—resources we simply do not have as an independent project at this stage.

Without AI-generated assets, this game would not exist. The choice was not between AI art and human art—it was between AI art and no game at all.

Our Commitment to Human Artists

We believe in the irreplaceable value of human creativity. Professional artists bring vision, intentionality, and soul to their work in ways that AI cannot replicate. We recognize that the use of AI-generated imagery is a compromise, not a preference.

We are committed to transitioning to human-created artwork if and when the game becomes economically viable.

Should Battle for Cordragia generate sufficient revenue, we will prioritize commissioning original artwork from professional artists. This includes:

  • Replacing AI-generated card art with commissioned pieces
  • Working with artists to develop a cohesive visual identity
  • Paying fair rates for creative work
  • Supporting artists from diverse backgrounds and styles

Transparency

We believe players deserve to know how the assets in their games are created. This statement exists to be upfront about our current use of AI-generated imagery and our intentions for the future. We will update this page as our situation evolves.
