Aetheris Core launches on Steam as its solo creator details AI use

Kavik Studios released Aetheris Core, a sci-fi bullet-heaven roguelite, on Steam on November 3, 2026. Its solo developer discloses AI assistance for music and visual assets while describing game design and combat as their own work.

Players choose a pilot and ship, then combine attacks, upgrades and relics while dodging enemy patterns and bosses with multiple phases.

The store page describes Unstable Rifts as shorter boss-focused challenges and a Hard Mode that changes enemy behavior and attacks. A demo is available, with an option to import its save into the full game.

The creator says almost all music and most relic and character art were generated with AI under their direction, alongside some sound effects and textures. Non-English translations were machine-translated, with partial checks by fluent Japanese and Vietnamese speakers.
