How AI is used
AI was primarily used in two sections of the game. To aid and assist with turning 2d sprites that were created into animated variations of them. Steam store page pictures use AI to create variants of my logo. The background itself is AI the logo was designed by me and AI was used to adjust it in the photo.

About Anthemborne
For generations, the Anthem has been the source of life, strength, and order. Its endless melody has sustained the realm, empowered its defenders, and kept the darkness at bay. Now that song is fading. The land has fallen into chaos, ancient evils stir once more, and the armies of the dead march across a kingdom on the brink of collapse.
You are the kingdom's final champion.
Wield your sword and enter the Anthem's cycle in a challenging turn-based roguelike where every decision matters. Battle through ever-changing encounters, defeat powerful enemies, and grow stronger with every expedition. Death is not the end—each run unlocks new strategies, abilities, and opportunities to push deeper into the war against the darkness.
No two journeys are the same. Procedurally generated encounters, randomized rewards, and meaningful build choices ensure every run offers new possibilities. Discover powerful relics, upgrade your equipment, unlock devastating abilities, and experiment with countless combinations to create a hero capable of surviving impossible odds.
Every victory strengthens your resolve. Every defeat teaches a lesson. Only those willing to endure the cycle can become the legend the kingdom needs.
With over 20 heroes and over 300 items with many, (and I mean many), variables each run will have its own unique story within the cycle.
THE WHEEL -
Dive into the mysteries of this cycle. As the guildmaster you must uncover the truth behind the cycle and your comrades endless days of combat. These decisions you make will be reflected in the gameplay.
