Games
Martinez AI Studios publishes commercial PC games on Steam. Dero Lavigne develops the titles; the label owns store presence, publisher credit, and community. The flagship release is CONTRABAND: Edge of the Fold — a branching narrative space game on a haunted frontier, not a second copy of the full work page.

Developer and publisher
Every Steam credit for this studio is the same split: Developer Dero Lavigne. Publisher Martinez AI Studios. That is the line on the base game (App 4901100) and on the soundtrack DLC (App 4919320). Community lives in the Martinez AI Studios and Dero Lavigne Steam groups and curator pages.
What the Steam store lists
CONTRABAND: Edge of the Fold is tagged Action, Indie, and RPG. Interface, audio, and subtitles ship in English and Spanish (Latin America). The store page lists a 19 August 2026 release. The soundtrack is sold separately and does not include the base game. For the authored design — Rift branches, factions, ships, and endings — use the CONTRABAND work page; this page is the publisher index.
Flagship: CONTRABAND: Edge of the Fold
Steam’s short pitch is the one we keep here: you fly the edge of the Fold, a frontier where smuggling routes cross dead systems, rival factions, and timelines that remember the last run. Kaela — the ship’s operations AI, the same identity as the recording artist — keeps the dock running while the player decides who to be. Full systems, art, and stats belong on the dedicated work page.

170 free lessons teach the systems, architecture, and Steam-release judgment behind CONTRABAND. Optional Stripe support does not unlock extra text.
Soundtrack DLC
Contraband: Edge of the Fold Soundtrack is Steam App 4919320: 21 original tracks, additional content for the base game, sold on the same store. Music, listen links, and the soundtrack AI disclosure live on the Music page so this index does not repeat the catalog.
How AI is disclosed on Steam
The game’s Steam AI note is specific: generative tools were used for some pre-rendered visual assets (character and promotional artwork) and ElevenLabs text-to-speech for pre-rendered voice acting from human-written scripts in English and Spanish. That content is created before release and shipped with the game. The game does not create new AI content during play and does not call external AI services while you play.
