Art
Ship hull and part renders were generated with ChatGPT by or for Arktyrn Gaming Studios, then art-directed, selected, traced, calibrated, composited, and baked in-house. Console frames, cursors, interface presentation, battlefield effects, and other procedural visuals are original project work.
Nothing in Armada Ascendant calls an AI service or generates AI content at runtime.

Fifteen tracks are composed by Psychronic. Retrowave is composed by The_Mountain. All sixteen tracks are human-composed works licensed through the Pixabay Content License. Music is used inside the game and is not offered as a standalone soundtrack download.
