This repository is a curated list of AI tools designed to accelerate and enhance game development, targeting indie developers and studios. It provides a categorized overview of AI solutions for asset generation, texturing, image creation, coding assistance, animation, voice synthesis, speech recognition, conversational AI, game design, and NPC development, aiming to boost efficiency and creativity.

How It Works

The list categorizes AI tools based on their application within the game development pipeline. Each entry includes the tool's name, a brief description of its function, its licensing model (proprietary or open-source), pricing (free, freemium, paid), and whether a sign-up is required. This structured approach allows developers to quickly identify and evaluate relevant AI solutions for specific tasks.
