About Viking Dominion

A strategic Viking conquest game developed by Remi Mikalsen in his free time. An idea from long ago, finally made viable through the power of AI.

The developer journey

Viking Dominion represents the culmination of a long-held idea that became reality through the transformative power of AI. What started as an ambitious idea years ago finally found its path to completion thanks to modern AI tools.

Every image you see, every sound you hear, and much of the visual content has been generated by AI. The development process itself was significantly supported by AI, but this journey also revealed the important limitations AI currently has.

This project has been a learning experience about the balance between AI capabilities and human creativity, reinforcing my belief in the importance of iterative development and careful planning, and the irreplaceable value of human oversight in the creative process.

AI-Powered Development

🎨 Visual Assets

Images, icons, and visual elements were generated using AI tools, creating a cohesive Viking aesthetic without traditional art resources. Notable exceptions are resource icons that come from OpenMoji, and some built-in emojis.

🎵 Audio Design

Atmospheric soundtracks, battle sounds, and game audio were all created through AI generation, bringing the Viking world to life.

💻 Code Assistance

Development was accelerated through AI pair programming, while maintaining human oversight for architecture decisions and quality control.

🔍 Lessons Learned

The project revealed AI's limitations: small steps, constant supervision, and human creativity remain essential for complex projects.
