Where do games disclose AI use?

AI was used to edit and manipulate images during development.

The game includes AI-generated images.

Some game content, marketing materials, and character voices for Medieval Frontiers were created or translated with the assistance of AI tools. While we use these technologies to support our workflow, every feature and narrative beat is a result of our team’s deliberate creative decisions. The final experience is hand-guided by our vision to ensure the world feels authentic to our players.

Some of our artwork is generated via an AI and then re-rendered by our artist.

AI stock images and generative AI content is occasionally used in the development process of art assets we use for things like, but not limited to, event themes.

Generative AI was used in a limited capacity during development to assist with marketing artwork.

AI was used to generate the images of the characters in the default in-game database. There is also a 100% optional, opt-in only AI Chatbot assistant that can help provide booking ideas.

Usage of AI-Generated and Assisted Illustrations in Shadow Empire Post-release Illustration Creation Process The developers use Midjourney and Nano Banana to generate high-resolution illustrations for new functionality added post-release, particularly for Vidcom and Stratagem artwork. These images are often post-processed by hand, as well as enhanced using tools like Magnific, Topaz Labs, or other upscaling and refinement software. AI in Post-release Portrait Art Portraits: A base image is generated using Midjourney with a generic prompt such as “portrait of young woman, military.” Smaller parts (eyes, nose, mouth, hair, etc.) are overlaid using DALL·E to create variations. Aging effects are achieved by rendering an older skin texture with partial transparency over the younger base face. The older the character, the more opaque the overlay becomes. (Note: Eyes and lips often retain a youthful appearance.) This effect is gradually applied using a limited number of sprite layers, allowing nuanced visual transitions. AI-Generated Art in Post-release Game Content The game includes AI-generated and AI-assisted illustrations for Vidcoms and Stratagems. All such AI-generated art is pre-generated — no generative AI tools are called or used in real-time by the game itself. The intention is to provide players with an option to toggle between the original and updated AI-enhanced graphics via preferences. (Note: This is an aim and may not yet apply to all content.)

AI interface images

I use PhotoShop's generative AI, Replica Studios for some voice acting, and ChatGPT for some quest dialogue. I also use Mid Journey to generate graphics. Most AI generated content is temporary and will be replaced when/if the game ever makes enough money to hire people to replace them.

Some steam community/marketing content

The game tutorial uses optional AI generated voiceover.

This game uses AI assistance to generate some of its art and music assets.

Used chaptgpt 4 for generation and enhancements trading cards and community assets art.

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.

Some Picture that's all

No generative AI is used to write content or produce any kind of imagery or assets for the game. For localization, we hire professional translators with AI tools to reduce the workload. Final translations include both machine-translated text that's been human-reviewed and directly human-translated text (e.g. "The megacorps created Cyber Knights as the first quantum-secure data couriers").

Steam achievements may contain pictures that was generated by AI

We leveraged AI-generated content to enrich our game with elements that would have been otherwise challenging to include. Specifically, we used AI for the AI character voiceover in different languages, a feature made possible thanks to this technology. In this case it made even more sense since the character is actually an AI. Otherwise, all the core art and visual elements of the game have been designed by human talents.

Music in the game is AI generated.

The user interface and some language translations are created and translated using AI.

The latest Halloween update includes 3D objects that are AI generated using Meshy.ai.

We do not use generative AI in the game. For community-requested languages that are not officially supported, we use DeepL to assist with localization, with the help of community members who review and improve the translations.

Card paintings is created by AI.

Players may experience NPCs that provide AI generated information on their notifications or the location.

We use a AI voices for the radio messages, some icons and sound effects.

Pre-generated textures, items and characters images in the game

Promotional content for the game can include AI generated content.

Our team utilizes AI in a variety of ways to improve the quality of our game. Here are a few examples of how our team incorporates AI into our development process: 1. We use AI to translate dialogue, subtitles, and (more infrequently) music into a variety of different languages spoken by players of our game. This allows more players from different regions to enjoy playing Operation: Harsh Doorstop in their own language, and helps us reach more players throughout the world. 2. We utilize machine learning to help train our NPC bots, giving non-player characters more realistic and adaptive behavior on the battlefield. 3. We utilize AI to assist with finding bugs and other issues in the game, which our developers can then diagnose and fix. We currently work with the RevoltGPT team to help us incorporate AI into our development workflows. If you're interested in learning more, you can visit their website at https://rvt.dev

In the game, there are AI chat and AI reading features, and the content generated by them is only intended to help improve the gaming experience.

Some of the voice-over dialogs during the introduction cut-scene are computer generated. Some of the images during the introduction cut-scene were stylized using generative AI.

We are a small indie team and as our game includes close to 200 characters you can interact with, we have used Midjourney to produce their portraits for the Early Access release of the game. Depending on feedback we may revisit this at a later stage.

While almost the entirety of the game is human-made, there are still some places where AI was used to speed up work, data validation or help with tedious tasks - such as converting old crafting recipes to a new format, improving wording of some in-game item descriptions, or generating placeholder thumbnails for internal use (e.g. testing GUI layout and renderer).

Some store images and promotional materials use AI-assisted visuals. The game itself does not contain any AI-generated content, and nothing is generated while playing.

Some event banners use AI generated images, some dialog uses AI generated content.
