Martinez AI Studios

AI-born. Human in message.

Martinez AI Studios

Texas-based publisher and creative label. We release music, games, and transmedia created by Dero Lavigne.

The publisher behind the Fold universe

Martinez AI Studios is the label and publisher — not the development studio. Dero Lavigne creates the music, games, websites, and narrative. Martinez AI Studios publishes and distributes those works on Steam, streaming platforms, and across the brand. Kaela Inferna and CONTRABAND are flagship releases under one editorial identity.

Free course: learn to build games with AI

170 bilingual lessons on systems, architecture, QA, and Steam publishing. Free to read. LMS accounts and downloads stay closed. Optional Stripe support does not unlock extra text.

Why Martinez AI Studios

A studio built for the way media is actually made in 2026 — fast, transparent, and human-directed.

End to end, one roof

Music, video, games, and web in one studio. No handoffs, no mismatched vendors.

Human-directed AI

AI is a tool. Dero Lavigne directs every creative decision — the message stays human.

Our own local pipeline

A high-end workstation and local models mean speed, privacy, and no per-render ceilings.

Bilingual by default

Native English and Spanish across every deliverable — built for Texas and beyond.

Transparent & rights-clean

Clear credits and an honest process. No "100% generated" claims, no AAA-team fiction.

Publisher-grade delivery

We do not just create — we publish and distribute to Steam and streaming platforms.

Human-directed AI

AI is the microphone, the synthesizer, the copilot, and the compiler — not the author. Every song, scene, frame, and line is directed and finished by Dero Lavigne. We do not sell "100% generated" novelty or pretend to be a hundred-person studio. We use the best modern tools to move fast, then apply human taste, editing, and intent so the final work carries a real message.

  • A human writes, directs, and signs off on every deliverable
  • AI accelerates production — it does not replace judgment
  • Transparent credits and an honest process
  • Cinematic quality over volume for its own sake
