Where do games disclose AI use?

Generative AI has been used during the early stages of development to create temporary placeholder content, primarily to support production and prototyping. This content is intended to be temporary and is planned to be replaced with final assets specifically created for the game as development progresses.

Lateral Crawl will launch in Early Access. The Early Access build will contain some AI-generated and developer-edited sound effects, which are planned to be replaced before the 1.0 release.

The visuals are generated by AI.

We used Kimi 3 to generate the code, vector game assets, skeletal animations and code-synthesized sound effects for this game. Music was generated via Suno, while the game design documents, gameplay mechanics and numerical balancing are strictly controlled by human designers.

Some illustrations in‑game are created using AI‑generated frameworks, followed by subsequent manual refinement.

Generative AI was used during development to assist with some pre-generated visual assets, including selected 3D models, textures, and animations. All such content is reviewed and edited by the development team. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an AI service.

The game code was developed with the assistance of generative AI, and part of the game assets are AI-generated

Rally Point's visuals and store art are drawn by code from the game's own geometry. No image, audio, or voice generation model was used. That code was written with AI assistance, as were the non-English translations.

Some of the game's content was created with the assistance of generative AI tools and was then reviewed, edited and curated by the developer. This includes portions of the art assets, some audio content, and the translation of interface and subtitle text into languages other than Turkish and English. No content is generated by AI at runtime.

- Audio: background music is generated with AI music tools. - Translation: in-game and store text is translated using AI. - Code: the game's code, including the code that draws every visual at runtime, was written with the help of an AI coding assistant.

AI assisted in-game and store-page visuals, plus music.

Some pre-generated 2D artwork used in the game and in Steam store and marketing materials was created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted assets were selected, reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team before inclusion. No content is generated by AI during gameplay, and the game does not connect to live generative AI services.

The vast majority of assets are created by me or commercially licensed. I have used AI-generated assets for a few buildings and UI elements as a base end then modified heavily in Photoshop. I am a solo developer and know it’s a controversial topic, but I hope the 1000+ hours I have spent in Photoshop shines through, but I still want to be honest.

Generated Content: visual art — characters, environment art and store/marketing capsule images created using Google Gemini, then edited and composited by hand.

Generative AI tools were used during development (coding assistance). No content is generated at runtime.

Some images and audio were generated using AI.

AI assisted coding

AI was used to generate some of the background images.

We use generative AI to assist in the development of the game, including for coding and visual assets.

Some visual assets in the game were originally created and edited manually using image editing software, and were later refined with generative AI tools. AI was used only as part of the visual refinement process. Final assets were reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.

AI was used to write code and structure ideas. For art and music it wasn't used.

Generative AI was used as a development tool for this game. An AI assistant helped with programming, game design iteration, and text translation, always under the developer's direction and review. Some 3D models, such as mech parts, are based on assets created with generative AI tools and then adjusted and integrated by the developer. No content is generated by AI during gameplay: enemy behavior is not generative AI, but the same deterministic node-based algorithms that players build themselves.

To streamline development and enhance our creative vision, generative AI technologies were utilized in the following areas during the production of this game: Programming & Development Support: AI tools assisted in drafting source code and verifying game logic. Art & Visual Assets: AI tools were used to assist with concept art and base background materials, all of which were manually retouched, processed, and reconstructed. Music: AI tools were used to assist in arranging and producing original tracks, followed by manual editing and mastering. All AI-assisted assets have been carefully curated, modified, and reviewed manually by the developer prior to integration into the game. The game does not feature any live-generated AI content during gameplay, and development strictly adheres to all applicable legal standards and Steam's content guidelines.

Generative AI tools were used during development to create portions of the game’s artwork and sound.

Artwork is currently initially generated using AI processes

Generative AI tools are used during development to assist with selected art production and localization. All AI-assisted outputs are reviewed, edited, and approved by the development team before being integrated into the game. The game does not use generative AI at runtime, and no content is generated live or delivered directly to players as unreviewed AI output.

Some of this game's art and audio were created with generative AI tools, then selected, edited and assembled by the developer: the ink-wash illustrations and character portraits, part of the interface artwork, and the background music. The store page artwork and the trailer were produced the same way. Everything ships as fixed, pre-rendered assets. The game generates no content while you play and connects to no AI service. Puzzle levels are built and verified by our own deterministic mahjong solver, not by AI.

As a solo developer, I used a combination of purchased assets, original artwork, and AI-assisted tools to create and refine game assets.

Character artwork for Giusto’s characters that represent each tier of the player’s journey began as AI-generated concept art, conceptualized, directed and reviewed by our team to match the the art direction of the game. 3D character models were generated from this concept art using Tripo AI’s image-to-3D tool, then reviewed and integrated into the game by our development team. From which, the final 3D models were designed and styled within Unreal Engine 5 to fit the feel of our game. All game design, music and other content were built directly by our team and purchased and licensed human-made asset packs.

The game was developed with the help of AI. The background music soundtrack is AI-generated: the pieces were created with a locally run music model, then curated and edited by hand. Puzzles, game design and gameplay are human-made.

The packaged offline model generates diplomatic communications and makes faction decisions from structured game state with curated personalities. Generative AI was used to assist in creating some pre-rendered artwork, including environment backgrounds, menu and branding art, icons, and promotional/title-card images. These assets were reviewed and integrated by the developer. Game does not connect to external AI services.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with some visual assets, audio, and code. All content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Some in-game 2D UI icons, some music and sound effects, and Steam store page / promotional visuals were created during development with the help of generative AI tools, then manually reviewed, cropped, or adjusted before shipping. This game does not use generative AI to create content in real time during gameplay.

Part of the program code, art materials, and text content in this work were created using generative artificial intelligence and have been manually reviewed and adjusted to ensure a seamless gaming experience. During gameplay, AI does not generate content in real-time, all content is pre generated.

Generative AI was used to create and iteratively refine some graphics and promotional images, as well as to assist with writing and implementing the game’s code. All outputs were selected, reviewed, and integrated by the developer. No AI-generated content is produced during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used during development as part of the early creative and production process, including generating mood boards, visual references, and some base meshes. These materials were used as starting points rather than finished game content. Any AI-assisted assets included in Nine Below were substantially reworked, modified, refined, and polished by hand before being included in the final game. AI was used to support iteration and production, while the final game was designed, built, and finished by the developer. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

Some graphics and artwork have been made using Ai

The code, menu, graphics, artwork, effects, localization, sounds and music of Pyramid Wars is vibe coded. The cover image, shop- and library art is AI generated.

We employ generative AI technologies during the creation of some illustrations and music. All elements that make up the core and essence of the game are still done by us - the devs.

As indie developers we use generative AI to power our creativity and build this game faster and according our community desires and our own vision for the game.

AI was used to write the code for the game, and for the sounds effect. Music and art was all done by a lovely, living human.

Coding help when programming the game.

Generative AI has been used to support the development of art direction and music style for this game.

In early development, the game included some AI-generated graphical elements while I waited for a professional artist's work. I am now gradually integrating that work, but the process is not yet finished. AI also generated the game's English, German, and French localizations from the original Ukrainian text, and later proofread by a human.

Text Localization: Translated using AI

We used AI to create initial translations, which were then reviewed and refined by a human editor.

Currently, many illustrations have been enhanced by AI using our own artworks and 3D models as a basis. In addition, the audio versions of dialogues are produced using AI-generated voices.

Initial concept art was generated using AI tools, followed by manual adjustments and modifications by artists.

Generative AI was used to assist with writing portions of the game’s code and store page.
