About Curling Stars
Curling Stars is a simulation-style curling game. The physics model stone weight, curl, sweeping that changes line and distance, ice reading and split-time deliveries, and sliders let you set feet of curl, sweeping effect, ice conditions and pebble that wears down, with a heat map of the ice. Season mode runs a multi-event season with prize money, salaries, free agents, hireable coaches, team morale and prestige. Editors let you design your own club or rink, paint team kits and create players, and the developer's site lists rosters for the 2026 Canadian provincial fields, all fifty US states and sixteen nations, all editable, while the Steam AI disclosure says rosters and characters are fictional. Venues range from club ice to big arenas, a barge at Fanny Bay and aurora-lit sea ice at Churchill. A coaching mode has a drill library and a drill designer, and there are alternative controls and accessibility options. Steam multiplayer is in beta. In a note on the store page the designer, a club curler, writes that they leaned on AI to make the game, and the Steam AI disclosure says an AI coding assistant wrote and iterated on the code, procedural 3D scenes, characters and animations under the developer's direction. US$1.99 on Steam for Windows since 11 Aug 2026; the same game also runs in the browser on the developer's site, with a free demo; the full online version is priced at CAD $5.99 a year or $1.49 a month, but on 4 Nov 2026 the site said it was free for a limited time while the studio launches.

How it was built
Partially verifiedThe developer's Steam AI disclosure says the developer built the game in close collaboration with AI tools, directing the design, gameplay rules, features, venues, art direction and testing, while an AI coding assistant wrote and iterated on the code, procedural 3D scenes, characters and animations under that direction. The soundtrack was made with AI music generation, curated by the developer, and the store artwork used generative AI tools. The assistant is not named.
- DeveloperIn the designer's note on the store page: “I'm probably a better curler than I am a game developer, so I leaned on AI to make the dream real.” — Steam
The developer directed design, rules, venues, art direction and testing; per the Steam disclosure, an AI coding assistant wrote the code and generated the procedural 3D scenes, characters and animations. The developer's site says the game runs on WebGL, that Steam and the browser run the same build, and that each venue is hand-built.

“I directed every part of the game myself, the design, gameplay rules, features, venues, art direction, and testing, while an AI coding assistant wrote and iterated on the code, procedural 3D scenes, characters, and animations under my direction.”Verification notes: The AI claim rests on the developer-written AI disclosure on the game's Steam page (re-read on 4 Nov 2026) and the designer's note in the store description; no tool is named, so the tool is undisclosed. Steam lists Curling Stars Studio Inc. and curlingstars.com as developers and curlingstars.com as the website; the site links the Steam page. The disclosure uses “I”, while the site says “Built by people who curl” and calls itself a small studio, so team size is not recorded. The computer opponent the site calls “a real curling AI” is game logic; neither source describes generative AI at runtime. Rosters on the site use 2026 provincial, state and national fields; the disclosure says rosters and characters are fictional.
