Windborne is a live weather wallpaper and a gentle collection game. It renders global weather as a hand-drawn map — wind streams, rain falls, cyclones turn — and when the right weather arrives, small visitors drift in on the wind for you to spot and collect. No forced interaction, no punishment.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Pre-generated AI: GPT Image 2 was used during development to create 2D paper-cut-style images included in the app, including weather phenomena, collectible visitors, ecosystem entities, Steam achievement icons, and key art for Steam store capsules and library assets. The developer selected and edited these images, including cropping, background removal, color and alpha cleanup, and export. The app does not use generative AI at runtime.
