Where do games disclose AI use?

The game’s logo + the achievment logos was generated using AI and then manually edited and finalized by the developer. No gameplay, art, or audio content was AI-generated. All in-game content was manually created. The AI-generated logo does not affect gameplay or user experience.

Some in-game content, such as simulated chat spam and cutscene art in WISH (as befits the narrative) was created with the assistance of AI powered tools.

The Dark Cowboy is a solo-developed project created over several years in Unreal Engine. To achieve a cinematic experience as a single creator, AI tools were integrated into the production workflow in a few specific areas. Cinematics & Visuals Generative AI tools assisted in creating visual material for cinematic sequences, as well as static artwork for loading screens and promotional imagery. Audio & Voice Performances Character dialogue is performed using voice models derived from licensed human voice performances, alongside select atmospheric tracks to enhance the game’s immersive soundscape. Writing & Localization Language models assisted with editorial review of scripts and helped produce translations across the game's 14 supported languages. All such elements were carefully directed, manually refined, and integrated by the developer to ensure they fully support the atmosphere and storytelling of The Dark Cowboy.

Parts of the game store page's text and graphics are AI pre-rendered.

"My game leverages Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to dynamically create and enhance several aspects of the visual experience. Specifically, I use AI for: Application Icon: The game's icon is generated with AI, offering a unique and engaging visual that reflects the game's theme and atmosphere. Mouse Cursor Replacement: I've designed AI-generated mouse cursors that adapt to different game environments and contexts, providing a seamless and immersive interaction experience. GUI Sprites: Certain elements of the game's graphical user interface (GUI) are created using AI, allowing for a diverse and dynamic presentation that evolves based on gameplay and player choices. I am committed to ensuring that all AI-generated content adheres to Steam's standard store requirements. To this end, I have implemented robust guardrails to prevent the generation of inappropriate or illegal content within my game. I have conducted thorough testing to ensure that the AI behaves as intended, and I continuously monitor and update my AI systems to maintain the highest standards of content integrity and respect for copyright. Furthermore, I encourage our community to report any instances of inappropriate or unexpected AI-generated content through the Steam Overlay's reporting tools. I am dedicated to addressing any such issues promptly to ensure a positive and respectful gaming environment for all players. My use of AI is aimed at enhancing the visual appeal and interactivity of my game, making each player's experience unique and engaging. I believe that this innovative approach to game design will offer players a fresh and dynamic gaming experience."

I have used AI art generation for some of the game's assets.

- Capsule images: The images were created by a professional artist who partially used AI - Title screen: The background image on the title screen was partially AI generated

AI, employed for the purpose of narrative refinement, intricately weaves the storyline into a captivating tapestry while preserving the fundamental essence envisioned by the developer. It is imperative to acknowledge that every narrative and enigma originates from the creative prowess of the developer, whose ingenuity shapes tales grounded in actuality.Only the steam page art are generated with AI.

The original appearance of the art was recreated using AI and further refined by humans

Generative AI tools have been applied by development team in process of creation of parts of very limited in-game graphic assets and in certain marketing materials with considerable limitations and human overview and input at all times. All core game content has been carefully designed and curated by our team to ensure quality and originality.

The card images in the game are obtained through AI drawing

We used AI to create the game icon and background image for the main page. Also, we took inspiration from AI for some texts and dialogues.

As an independent developer, I use AI during development as a learning and workflow assistant. It helps me understand tools, write a small portion of code, and polish some localization. All final content in the game is personally reviewed and tested.

Background images in this game partially contains AI generated content that is post-processed by hand and given final touches to best suit the game's thematics. "The City" does not conform to this, and is created from the ground up by the fine hands of the creators and artists.

This game contains works created by use of AI in the creation of dialogue audio for the characters. All AI generated content was created as original works by the developer.

Nothorian is an original work developed by our creative team. Some artwork and promotional text were assisted by AI tools (GPT) during development. No AI content is generated during gameplay, and all content has been carefully reviewed and adapted by humans. We use it as a support tool for some things (as almost everyone does these days), but our team designed the story and the entire game and oversaw everything. There is no crazy or dangerous real-time generation.

We have utilized an AI program to help us generate music within the game and Steam Main Graphics for the game.

Angel Guardian was developed with the help of AI tools across our creative pipeline — including story development, dialogue, enemy balancing, difficulty tuning, concept art exploration, animation prototyping, music iteration, and voice experimentation. AI acted as a creative accelerator, allowing us to rapidly test ideas, refine systems, and expand the scope of our world. All content was directed, curated, and finalized by our human development team.

Contains a certain amount of art, game textures, and radio music generated or assembled using AI.

Some elements of the images were textured using AI.

Traditionally, NPCs (non-player characters) do not play active roles in video games. However, with the use of AI, they become the main characters of the game. Players can communicate with NPCs verbally through a microphone, and it is the AI that responds

It generate some in-game graphics.

Backgrounds

The game uses some AI generated and manually modified content only for paitings and photographs as well as for some of the text content (modified and reworded).

Generative AI is used for translations into languages I do not master and to create early 3D model prototypes. These prototypes are manually refined before being integrated into the game. No generative AI is used during gameplay or to dynamically generate in-game content.

**Disclosure on Use of Generative AI in Development** *Lost Traces: False Awakening* and *Lost Traces: Genesis* are ambitious projects developed by a **small indie team**. To efficiently achieve the large scope and detail of the game's world, we made selective use of pre-generated tools during development. This approach was strictly limited to foundational elements which were then heavily refined by human artists and engineers: * **Character Designs (Images):** A portion of the initial character design concepts and visual elements (used on the store page and in-game) were informed by licensed image generation tools, such as **Stable Diffusion**. Every single piece of content has since been **manually edited, digitally painted, and extensively refined** by our artists to ensure unique visual identity and high quality. * **Voice Dialogue (Audio):** A portion of the in-game voice dialogue was generated using licensed text-to-speech or AI voice tools. This audio was subsequently run through **professional editing, mastering, and processing** to ensure vocal quality, pacing, and consistency across the game's soundscape. Our team maintains **full creative and artistic control** over all final assets. We did not use any AI tools to generate content *live* during gameplay.

Visual art

We have used open source LLMs trained on our game's lore and dialogue to generate quests. We have used our own private NeRF systems to generate some 3D models. Some of our marketing materials, game icons, and concept art was generated using art we had designers create under contract for this game. That art was used to train an open source generative system.

* Contents below are copied from the game, the soundtrack does not use any Generative AI technology. User will be able to talk in freeform with the NPCs within the game world according to the environment given to them. Some of the evidence (photos on the wall, book covers) have been created using AI tools

Artificial intelligence was used only for Store Photos, no content in the game was created or directed by artificial intelligence.

This game contains AI generated contents. The graphic is generated by AI and fixed by human. This game contains violence scenes.

游戏中部分美术素材由AI生成

The cover art and character poses and expressions in our game were initially generated using AI during the development phase to enhance the creative process. These elements were then redrawn by our art team to ensure quality and originality. Additionally, the story text within the game was refined, proofread, and translated with the assistance of AI tools. No real-time AI content is generated during gameplay, ensuring players receive a consistent and controlled gaming experience.

Note: One UI sprite icon and one wall art in the game was created using AI.

Generative AI was used in the production of photorealistic game object images and some sound effects.

A few background concepts were generated with AI that retains respect to artist copyright (Adobe Firefly) but we are still working on reworking these few instances with our art team!

Some image elements were generated using AI and refined using photobash and overpainting. English voiceovers.

This game uses AI-generated content for: Store capsule artwork All AI content has been reviewed and edited by our development team to ensure quality and appropriateness.

For the MVP of the Development version of the game 3D models, 2D sprites, sound and music are part wise AI generated. These assets will not be used for the release of the game but instead replaced by human-made assets.

A tiny number of in-world 2D assets (poster designs and paintings) were created with limited AI assistance and refined by a graphic designer. All 3D art, characters, music, voice work, writing, design, VFX, and SFX were made entirely by humans, meaning over 99.99% of the game was crafted by real people.

Some background and foreground assets are AI generated then altered by Graphic design

Narrator uses AI voice over work as a placeholder. Currently the final game is slotted to feature 100% human actors for maximum expression. An example of this is the demo's ending cutscene.

The game's image assets, including store assets, are made with the use of AI.

Use AI to render some promotional images

Translation of game dialogues

GenAI is used to create 2D character design concepts as reference images for 3D modeling. It is also used for some UI icons, a limited number of 3D asset models, and translation of in-game character dialogue.

A texture for one backround asset was created using generative AI. The paintings, posters and other artwork you see in the game are NOT made by AI.

Some art content and voice acting are made by AI.

We used AI to generate concepts and referrons to further utilize them in creating illustrations.

Mad Miner's soundtracks 11 through 25 were generated with artificial intelligence. The first 10 tracks are the work of the artist.
