Responsive Design Studios

About us

Responsive Design LLC is a small independent studio in Michigan, USA. We publish our games under the name Responsive Design Studios.

What we make

  • Small HTML5 games. Arcade, puzzle, action and strategy games built for short sessions. They run in a web browser on a computer or phone, with keyboard, mouse or touch, and they save your progress on your own device. We publish them on itch.io.
  • Android versions. Some games are also packaged as Android apps with Capacitor and released on Google Play. Emberdash is the first.
  • Utility apps. LifeDash is a self-hosted personal dashboard; a phone version is in development. We also build tools for our own use, such as the dashboard and test tools we make games with. Those are not products.

How our games are made

We use AI tools heavily, and we would rather say so plainly than leave you guessing. itch.io asks creators to disclose AI-generated content; this page gives the same answer.

  • Art is generated with Scenario.gg. Characters, backgrounds, icons and cover art start as AI-generated images. We choose, crop and clean them up, and our own checking tools flag sprites that are cut off, off-centre or animate badly.
  • Code is written with AI coding assistants. Each game is plain JavaScript on an HTML5 canvas, without a large engine. The assistants write much of the code; we decide what each game should be, review the changes and test the result.
  • Some sound effects and trailer voice-overs are also made with generative-AI tools.
  • A person is responsible for every release. Before a game ships, automated checks confirm that it loads, runs on a phone-sized screen, has no missing files and passes its tests. Then we play it ourselves before it is published.

The notices page has the formal AI-content statement, plus accessibility information and a photosensitivity warning.

What we don't do

  • No accounts. None of our games or apps asks you to sign up.
  • No analytics in published games, and no cookies or trackers on this website.
  • Ads appear only in some Android versions, and they are optional "rewarded" videos you choose to watch. Our web games have no ads.

The details are in our privacy policy, and each game has its own privacy page.
