Where do games disclose AI use?

AI-generated materials are not used directly. of some of the character illustrations are used Posing, facial expressions, and composition of some character illustrations are used as references. I draw by hand while looking at the AI-generated materials.

AI was used to generate art for illustrating ingame events, encyclopedia pages, difficulty selection windows, host improvement illustrations and main menu backgrounds.

The characters are made with AI and edited by me.

Used for creating the game banner

Our team uses AI tools to assist development of some in-game content. The final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

I have troubles writing long descriptions so I used ChatGPT to help me write some of the descriptions and lore in the game. It was used as a reference, nothing more. I have used ONLY my own content and ONLY my own algorithm models to generate content from. I wrote my own to be able to use it for this purpose only. I do NOT infringe on ANY creative rights in doing so.

AI generates rich, diverse scenarios with maps tailored for both Game Masters and players, ensuring no two campaigns are the same. Dive into worlds crafted with precision—where AI-designed maps, NPCs, enemies, traps, and rooms come together to create a seamless and immersive experience. From preparation to play, our AI handles all the details, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your adventure. Embark on a journey where your imagination sets the boundaries, powered by AI that prepares everything you need for an unforgettable campaign.

The game introduction has some character sprites that we re-painted with the help of AI. We created those characters with a painting software, then we improved them with an AI software, and then manually re-touched them again with a painting software. That was an experimental approach. The entire game instead, has been fully manually designed, crafted and drawn by us.

This game heavily uses AI to live-generate in-game content such as text, images, and sound effects. It also uses AI to make a variety of game mechanics decisions in real time.

Marketing Art made with AI

Some AI tools were used to help bring human-led ideas to life. It helped us see what some ideas could look like, and helped us refine other ideas mid process. All of the assets within the Demo were initiated by artists within the team. These refined compositions are always fed back into artists and AI for further iteration, each step demanding an artistic eye to guide the output.

Generated images are used as placeholder art for certain role portraits.

Generative AI is used only to assist with localization/translation. All localized text is reviewed and edited by the developer. No AI-generated art, audio, or in-game live generation is used.

Some card illustrations, event images, and background art were partially created using AI-assisted tools.

All illustrations were generated by AI.

AI was used to reduce time investment in illustration art. The AI art can be seen in various UI elements where illustrations are present. Please note, all of the AI art you see wasn't merely generated and thrown into the game, it obviously needed a fairly extensive degree of retouching.

As a solo developer, AI has assisted with voice acting, allowing me to bring my vision to life more efficiently and effectively.

Artwork placeholders

Some of the game's images were generated by AI and then modified. AI was not used in any part of the gameplay. Only certain images on the store page and in the prologue involved the use of AI.

Dev uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game assets.

The only AI in use is pre-rendered voice for all NPCs. Like voicing quests and interactions.

AI art is used as placeholder for cards who's artwork is not yet finished. We are regularly replacing artwork with hand made artwork. The final product won't have any ai or placeholder artwork.

A very few in-game assets (in game image and less than 5 icons) were ai-generated first and then reworked by a human to match with Seven Cities lore.

The game features a small local language model used to generate dynamic storylines and events based on character traits and relationships. Generative AI is also used to assist in the creation of various 2D textures, marketing materials, portraits and UI elements.

I used AI in the process of creating loading screens and the capsule images.

1. We used ChatGPT-4 to make some custom javascript plugins. 2. Used ChatGPT-4/DALL-E3 to generate some of the faces of NPC's, also some icons for the system menu.

Dynamic Aging: Unit portraits realistically age over time. Each character is initially AI-generated and then hand-finished by our artist.

Some dialogue backgrounds and icons use AI generation.

Generative AI is used during development to prototype the voice acting. Expect professional voice acting quality by the full release.

We want to emphasize that both human-art and AI-generated content are used in the event illustrations. At the time of writing this (pre-beta), some of the illustrations in the game are still early experiments and, as such, treated as placeholders. As artists, we fully understand that AI-generated imagery is a controversial topic at the moment. We felt that by using generated art, in addition to our own art, we could create a much more vivid and immersive experience for the player. We are fully open to discussing this further and elaborating on our approach.

The in-game assets/content do not involve AI generation. The use of generative AI in this game is solely limited to assisting in the creation of concept art for community items, including trading cards and badges, which are subsequently refined and adjusted by artists.

Some graphic materials are processed by the generated material, based on its own trained AI model. However, none of the material is completely generated by AI. All the work on creating materials is done manually using graphic editors.

A few of the textures in the game use AI-generated images.

AI was used in the ChemScan manual to generate the photo of the machine. NO AI used for the voices.

Some images generated with AI are present in the loading screens and the intro cinematic.

The game uses AI-generated audio prompts for certain characters (english only).

The game features character portraits, generated by AI based on illustrations created specifically for the game by illustrators. The AI graphics will be replaced with hand-painted graphics and are currently serving as a prototype/reference work for human artists (we are planning a kickstarter fundraiser and will include illustrators' fees). The AI graphics will be removed as we raise funds. AI works for us and not us working for AI!

Generating inventory items icons using AI during prototyping stage for the game

We confirm that AI-assisted tools were used in the development of our game. The specific scope and manner of use are as follows: 1. Type of AI-Generated Content: * Text Content: We used AI text-generation tools to assist in creating initial drafts for some of the in-game copy during the early conceptual stages of development. * This includes content for: * Background stories and design documents for boss characters, frigates, and other units. * Descriptive text for player skills. * Preliminary outlines and descriptions for the game's overall story background. * In-game text such as enemy names and skill descriptions. 2. Our Workflow and Human Oversight (The Key Part): * AI's role was that of an "Assistant Tool": The AI was used solely to generate preliminary, unpolished text drafts and inspiration based on core ideas and directions provided by our producers. * Deep Human Optimization and Review: All AI-generated text underwent strict review, selection, rewriting, and optimization by our producers and development team. We ensured: * Creative Direction: The final design direction and core ideas were entirely determined by the human team. * Content Ownership: We hold full and legal rights to all final content included in the game. The content, after profound human modification and optimization, is no longer a purely AI-generated product but the intellectual property of our team. * Quality and Compliance Control: We ensured all textual content met our quality standards and Steam's distribution rules, containing no infringing, offensive, or inappropriate material. 3. Commitment and Assurance: * We guarantee that the final version of the game does not directly include any unmodified AI-generated output. * We take full responsibility for all content in our game. In Summary: AI was used as a tool for assistance and inspiration during the design phase, but the final generation, approval, and copyright of all game content are the sole responsibility of our human development team.

I used AI tools during development to help with code optimization, solve problems like pathfinding and mathematical formulas, and assist with English translation and proofreading.

I only used AI for the capsule image.

Using Midjourney to assist in creating some of the art assets in the game.

I added scenes and images improved with Generative Artificial Intelligence. They are locally generated using Stable diffusion, without resorting to paying any generative AI company. Although paying them could have given me better tools and results, I decided not to pay for their use to support the claim of artists for fair royalties. (It is not possible to discuss such a complex issue here, but I will consider opening a discussion on the topic in the game forum, follow my game to be notified if it is created) Most of the artistic content in the game, mainly music, is compensated in various ways depending on the case to its artists. My original content is registered, but the images generated by AI are essentially treated as 'creative commons' and I consider them fanarts of my characters. All added scenes and backgrounds are of high quality and maintain good coherence, avoiding deformities in hands, eyes, etc., and without annoying or confusing shapes. All AI-generated images are generated, selected, and edited exclusively by me, the creator of the game, to reflect my original vision, previously inaccessible due to high costs. I have sought to include only select content that enriches the narrative and immersion of the game.

Some game assets and chat translations are created using generative AI tools.

1. We used ChatGPT-4 to make some custom javascript plugins. 2. Used ChatGPT-4/DALL-E3 to generate some of the faces of NPC's, also some icons for the system menu.

Main characters are hand-drawn. AI was used for some backgrounds, poses, and a few music tracks, which were later refined.

This game uses a Large Language Model to help parse out in-game player character data (quests, allied factions, in-game world events, NPCs the player has interacted with, etc.) to customize quest objectives and reword hand written dialogue to fit that particular player character's playthrough.

Political Arena is being produced by a small team on a tight budget. We’re proud to have worked with a number of gifted artists, designers, developers and other creators on many of our core systems and assets. We have employed AI art assets only when it exceeds our budget capacity to provide fair wages for our team. We have employed AI to create or modify specialized, low-frequency art assets including art for certain event windows. Nearly all of our game’s most visible art assets, including its UI, backgrounds and character art were all produced by experienced artists.
