Where do games disclose AI use?

As a solo developer AI helped me with: - fine tuning text and Steam store descriptions - solve complex coding issues - visuals are not "ai" generated, but all visuals are programmatically generated within my own software, and the scripts that do that, are optimised by AI coding tools

Base matter does not use AI within the game itself. Some marketing materials and images on the store page have AI used as a general editing tool.

Software engineering is primarily by hand in C# and python, with local SLM's, run via Ollama, and occasional cloud-based LLM's used to research knowledge deficits and prototype code snippets for specific systems that map to those deficits. Any AI-generated code was reviewed line-by-line, hand-integrated and heavily modified. The application requires local file access to files selected by the player from a standard operating system folder browser with permissions. It scans the user's system via the psutil and gputil standard python packages to ascertain the specifications of the user's system to select a model that will match their system's performance profile. Pinocchio and Hunyuan were used to generate 3D models of mushrooms from 19th century public domain botanical illustrations, and the integrated SLM model is used to generate text labels and summaries at runtime. The application has absolutely no chat interface. An SLM is integrated locally as a black-box system with robust system prompts to generate structured output in the form of JSON based on the player's file inputs. The JSON is consumed by the game to generate maps and levels. Additional Specifications & Technical Notes: - A localhost python server is back-compiled to a C executable and deployed with the main executable and invoked from its application domain to host the local model. - The local model is downloaded from the Internet via Ollama. - The end-user needs to have the Ollama client installed to run the model locally. - The python server has robust internal system prompts to prevent violation of the Terms of Service on the Steam and Itch platforms regarding disallowed content. - The python server is run from the main executable's application domain, in the same directory structure. - The python server and main executable communicate via a local socket connection via IANA-approved port numbers according to RFC 6335. Ports are tested and iterated to ensure that they are available on the local system. If an IANA-approved port listed in RFC 6335 is not available, the application will not run. Heaps adheres to the ARTS standard for AI labeling. A full accounting of our use of AI in this game can be found at: droidknot.com/ARTS/Heaps_SIS_082726.pdf

Generative AI was used as a supporting tool for some marketing assets, visual references for the game’s art, and parts of code development.

Generative AI tools were used during development to create some pre-generated 2D artwork, including item icons, characters and environments, as well as store and marketing materials, including the cinematic teaser. These assets were selected, prepared and integrated by the development team. The game does not generate content using AI during gameplay or connect to external AI services.

The steam capsules and Logo are currently AI generated, Everything in game is not, except the title screen.

Steam store and library artwork, including capsule images, the logo and icons, was created using generative AI. Gameplay screenshots were captured directly from the game.

The core art direction and a portion of the artwork were hand-drawn by the developer, and AI was used to produce additional assets in a matching style, which were then reviewed, edited and integrated by hand. The game's music was generated with AI tools. No AI content is generated live while the game is running.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with creating and editing some of the written content in the game and on its Steam store page. All AI-assisted text was reviewed, revised, and approved by the developer before publication. The game does not generate content using AI during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating a limited number of pre-generated visual assets and localization text used in the game and its store materials. As an independent developer working with a limited production budget, I used these tools where commissioning additional original artwork was not financially feasible. All AI-assisted content was carefully selected, reviewed, and edited by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Apart from the art, the code, game design, balance and text involve no AI-generated content.
