Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
The use of AI is limited to select visual assets, which were manually reviewed, repainted, and integrated to fit the art direction. The project features original artwork hand-drawn by my artistic partner alongside an original acoustic piano score, entirely composed and performed by me.
This is an independent, completely free passion project with zero monetization, made out of a genuine love for game development. Thank you for playing.
We use generative AI across all disciplines of game development with heavy amounts of human editing. That involves audio and visual art. We use it as a productivity tool so we can achieve a higher level of quality, faster, than we would have been able to.
Some of the pre-made content in this game (such as artwork, audio and/or text) was created with the help of generative AI tools and was reviewed and edited by the developer. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
The music in this game was created using the Suno AI music generation tool. All other content — including all art and pixel art, level and puzzle design, mechanics, writing, — was created by hand by the developer, without generative AI.
AI-Generated Content Disclosure
This game includes a small number of visual assets, such as certain images and food ingredient models, that were created with the assistance of generative AI. These assets have been carefully curated and refined by the development team to align with the game’s style and quality.
All core gameplay, design, player character, dragon character, and player interactions are handcrafted.
I prefer to be clear and transparent about the development of Digging Nera, without attempting to hide, downplay, or minimize my use of AI or AI-assisted tools.
I am the sole developer of Digging Nera. I work without a team, without significant resources, and without formal training in game development. What I do have is my own artistic sensibility, curiosity, creativity, and willingness to learn. AI has been one of the tools that has helped me turn that vision into a game, and I have used it as follows:
I have primarily used generative AI to assist with localization and translation across the game's supported languages, as well as with the creation or refinement of selected visual and audio elements.
For some visual elements, I have used AI-assisted content as a starting point or production aid before selecting, adapting, editing, integrating, or reworking it to fit the artistic direction I established for the game. I have also used generative AI selectively to assist with certain audio elements and development-related tasks.
Developing Digging Nera represents a substantial personal investment of time and work. I have spent many hours designing and building its environments, implementing gameplay systems, testing, correcting issues, making adjustments, optimizing performance, and polishing the overall experience. AI tools are part of my production process, but they do not replace the work I put into designing, developing, testing, and shaping the game.
I personally designed and implemented the core of Digging Nera, including its environments, level design, gameplay mechanics, progression systems, narrative structure, user interface, world building, and overall creative direction.
I review, select, adapt where necessary, and integrate all AI-assisted content that ultimately appears in the game.
No generative AI is used in real time during gameplay. Digging Nera does not dynamically generate AI-created text, images, audio, levels, dialogue, or other content while the player is playing.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with programming and to create most of the game's visual assets. The player character artwork was created without generative AI.
Part of the game's artwork - backgrounds, character illustrations, and CG images - was created with the assistance of generative AI tools, and some background music tracks and character voice lines were produced using AI music and AI speech generation services. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed and selected by the developer. The story, characters, and writing were authored by the developer. The game also includes an optional runtime AI dialogue feature that runs on a local model bundled with the game, fully offline; it generates short character replies only and cannot change the story or endings.
All the Localization, voiceovers/music, and many of the in-game textures were generated using AI.
The store page trailer and images are rendered inside the game itself, so indirectly they also contains those AI generated textures.
A note on why.
RaviWar 1 is the first part of a story that takes eight games to tell: RaviWar 1 & 2, and six shorter games set inside the same universe, under the name Tales of Takarek.
I am one person, with no studio and no funding behind me. Built the traditional way, a project that size would outlast me. These tools are the only way I can attempt it at all, and I would rather finish the whole story imperfectly than finish a fraction of it perfectly.
It is also why this game is free. I am not asking anyone to pay for AI generated work.
The design, the writing, the puzzles and the world are mine. As the project grows I intend to replace generated assets with commissioned ones.
Once again I am sorry.
In-game icons and background assets were generated with AI and then manually adjusted
Promotional images and promotional videos were generated with AI and then manually adjusted
This game uses generative AI for some pre-produced visual assets, including character artwork and backgrounds, and for text generated during gameplay. A language model running locally on your computer generates VTuber dialogue and responses based on player input, character settings, and the current game situation. Generated dialogue can vary between playthroughs.
During the development of this title, generative AI was used as an assistive tool for writing some code, as well as for text polishing and translation. Other elements—including core artwork, character and environment designs, and the overall visual presentation—were created entirely by the developers themselves.
Hellternum is developed by a small independent studio. Some visual elements — certain in-game illustrations, textures and marketing images — were produced with the help of generative AI tools, always under direct human art direction and edited by hand to fit the game's visual identity.
Everything else is human-made: design, writing, level design, code and audio.
We think you should know this before you play.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in creating some of the pre-generated visual assets. All such assets were manually selected, modified, and integrated by the developers. The game does not generate content in real-time during gameplay, nor does it connect to external AI services.
PER MY LAST EMAIL contains pre-generated AI content. Its music is created with generative audio tools; its sound effects are CC0 recordings, not generated. Its narrative text is human-AI co-written and human-edited under the author's direction; the game design is the author's. Its store artwork uses AI-generated background plates, composed and finished programmatically; the game's own user-interface elements are drawn in code and contain no AI-generated images. No AI content is generated at runtime, and the game contains no AI-generated depictions of real people.
Portions of this game's artwork were created with generative AI tools under human direction, curation, and editing — including aircraft counter sprites, scene illustrations, character portraits, achievement icons, and some store/marketing images. The store trailer's narration is AI-generated voiceover. Some code was developed with AI assistance and human review. The game does not generate any content with AI while running.
Some Steam store graphical assets for VN Engine 2D, such as capsule and library artwork, may have been created with AI assistance and were manually reviewed before submission.
VN Engine 2D is a desktop editor for creating 2D visual novels and interactive story projects. The Steam build does not include player-facing live AI generation, does not connect to external AI services during use, and does not require users to enter third-party API keys or pay for AI services outside of Steam.
1453 contains pre-generated AI content: in-game illustrations and short ambient video clips created with generative image/video tools, curated and edited under human art direction and reviewed for historical accuracy. The narrative text is human–AI co-written and human-edited under the author's direction; the game design is the author's. No AI content is generated at runtime.
It was found that some character art pieces in the game used AI references after artists received explicit instruction and legal binding not to use AI.
This will be rectified in the future. I am committed to providing a game without AI usage.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in the creation of certain visual assets, including some textures and artwork featured in story sequences. All generated assets were reviewed, modified where necessary, and curated by the development team before inclusion in the game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
This game uses AI-assisted tools to create character voices. All dialogue was written, directed, edited, and implemented by the developer to fit the characters and story.
This game includes pre-generated content made with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. AI tools were used to help create and iterate some static story illustrations, character and store-art references, voice and sound-effect materials, texture details, copy polishing, and localization drafts. All such content is selected, edited, assembled, and manually reviewed by the developer before shipping. The game does not connect to a live generative AI service during play and does not generate new player-facing AI content at runtime.
We used a Gen AI powered tool to localize the following:
- (in some languages) In-game text
- (in some languages) Steam store descriptions
We plan to replace these with human translation and LQA when we can afford it.
Until then, we are using Gen AI temporarily.
Localisation: The game's interface text was localised into 11 languages (French, Spanish (Latin America), Italian, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Polish, Turkish) with the assistance of AI tools. All original English source text was written by the developer.
Voice-over: Some in-game voice-over was created using AI voice generation, used alongside recordings from real voice artists.
Music: Two background music tracks heard on in-game radios were generated with AI tools, then filtered and edited by the developer in FL Studio.
Store art: The capsule artwork combines a hand-made logo created by a commissioned artist with an AI-generated background.
AI tools were used in a limited capacity during the development of the game, primarily to assist with certain programming tasks and the creation of temporary assets.
No AI-generated content is created in real time while playing the game.
All of the game's text was written by hand by Yohan Dupuy and translated by a qualified professional to achieve high-quality literary English (not AI). AI is only used partially for the visual and audio presentation.
Some sound effects and a small number of textures in this game were created with the assistance of AI tools and refined by hand. Subtitle translations across our nine supported languages were generated using AI from the original English voice acting. Voice acting was performed by real people, with AI tools used only for noise reduction and audio mastering. All AI-generated content was curated and finalized by human creators before being included in the game.
The Event currently includes three AI-generated projector scenes used only as temporary placeholders, pending replacement with human-made artwork in the near future.(feel free to contact me for any possible collaborations)
Aside from these placeholder scenes, the remaining voice work, including the double voice effects, was created directly by the developer.
Generative AI was used to create some in-game radio audio, including text-to-speech announcements and background music tracks generated using AI tools.
Some background music in this game was created with the assistance of generative AI tools. The final selection, editing, and implementation of the music were handled by the developer.
The only use of AI has been to translate the game subtitles and menus.
The translation has then been reviewed in Polish and French by native speakers, but might contain oddities in the other supported languages.
This game uses generative AI tools during development.
All voice-over audio is generated using AI tools.
The game does not use live generative AI during gameplay.
Some promotional capsule artwork for the Steam store page was created with the assistance of generative AI tools. No AI-generated content is used during gameplay
Heart Duels is a solo-developed game. I use AI-assisted tools for some art and audio. All assets are curated and integrated by me to create a cohesive experience.
