Where do games disclose AI use?

Additional images for merchants, difficulties and skills.

As an indie developer, we use AI tools for translating the game, generating some textures, and for audio-related tasks, such as creating sound files and voice recordings.

Time Shock is hand-built by a solo developer. The design, gameplay, levels, writing, and world are all made by hand. AI tools play a limited supporting role only — used to tweak character voices, assist and refine artwork, and add lip-sync to dialogue. Everything is reviewed and finished by hand before it ships.

Marketing materials are made with AI, including Art and Music.

This game uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help optimize code and improve development efficiency and runtime performance. Additionally, character voices in the game were recorded by the developer himself. The voice was then synthesised by AI to create different character voices. These technologies enhance the overall quality and experience of the game.

Graphic

AI assistance is used in the drawing process of character avatars

The AI generates answers to your text inputs in real time.

Some images in the middle of map loading are retouched using AI to improve their appearance, artistic retouching of some images for advertising, original images (screenshots) were used and retouched to make them more striking.

All voices for the announcer and the tutorial bot have been generated with AI

AI was partially used for the creation of the Steam page cover, as well as to assist with the translation of UI and texts in the Early Access version.

In-game text has been translated into multiple languages using AI-generated translations. The character representing AI in the game features a voice generated through text-to-speech technology.

AI is used for some images and promotional materials. It also serves as a working basis for image editing. It is used anecdotally. It has been used for some secondary elements of the game to populate the universe, such as decorative objects. AI is not used exclusively. As a solo dev, I also work with freelance artists for main content and assets on the Unity Store.

I use AI Generated images for the loading screens, for the modification card icons, and for some textures.

The voices are generated using ElevenLabs and many of images are painted over and modified AI generations.

I use Ai images in the first cutscene as well as for a few background images. I also use RNG to randomize world generation.

Both Generative AI and AI editing tools were used for some background and menu images, textures, and voices.

Some AI-generated images are included

Just used AI to help draft my answers, then I review them to make sure they are appropriate for what it is drafting answers for on the storepage. I have also used AI to help me build some functions in the game for determining the calculations for player stats such as temperature and stomach system.

Some of the music on the radio is AI generated

During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

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.

During the development of this game, AI-generative content was used to create auxiliary interface elements, some icons and character voice acting.

The voice acting for some characters and some images were created using AI.

The artist interacts with generative artificial intelligence to create the desired artistic effect that can evoke an emotional response.

Some merchant icons, some reward icons and some ranking icons

The game is using the AI-generated prompts in audio form.

Our Art department uses generative AI at times in order to create distinctive 2D visuals for marketing materials, ensuring each piece aligns with Steam's guidelines and copyright laws. All the generated content is carefully curated, ensuring that a respectful gaming environment. This AI-assisted content enhances the aesthetic appeal of our game, while adhering to ethical standards.

AI image generation used to produce characters in gas masks and background for store page logos

As a solo developer I use AI assistance to generate graphics and audio content for my games and marketing material. No generative text is used.

- Some artworks have been made with the help of the Midjourney AI tool. - The Map Data in some countries has been generated with the help of AI technology to recognize satellite images.

We are only using AI for generating cool Images.

AI-Powered Cinematics & Immersion To bring the world of The Hive Pandemic to life, we’ve integrated cutting-edge AI technology to enhance both visuals and audio. 🎙️ AI Voice Generation – Leveraging Eleven Labs, we crafted realistic, emotive voice performances that breathe life into our characters, from the cold directives of corporate leaders to the haunting whispers of the Hive. 🎵 AI-Generated Music & Soundscapes – Using Suno, we designed dynamic, immersive soundscapes that evolve with the game’s intense action and eerie mind sequences. 🎨 AI-Assisted Cutscenes – Our art editor, combined with AI enhancements, has helped create stunning cinematic sequences, blending hand-crafted art with AI-powered refinements for a truly unique visual experience. By combining traditional artistry with AI-driven tools, The Hive Pandemic delivers a deeply atmospheric, story-rich experience that blurs the line between technology and creativity—just like the world it portrays.

Voice Acting (But this is just a template that we will later replace with real voice actors.)

AI interface images

Some steam community/marketing content

AI was used to generate the main store art for the game.

The game uses AI-generated illustrations and character voices. The promotional images for the game were generated by ChatGPT.

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").

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

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.

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