Where do games disclose AI use?

Because there are so many characters in the game, we used AI art (based on our own art style) to create a few characters towards the end of the game.

Quick note: The capsule art is AI-generated as a temporary placeholder, but I’m already working with an artist to replace and upgrade it with final artwork.

The Art Director chose a composition for each background. They were then made by professional artists or, for a few, bought on Adobe Stock. Finally, the art director enhanced each background in Photoshop and also through LeonardoAI.

All in-game content is created and authored by the development team. Like most modern game development, our tools and software may include AI-assisted features for internal workflows such as iteration, editing, or placeholder experimentation. These tools do not generate final player-facing content.

We have used in-house AI models to generate background assets, font, and some voices. We will continue to advance the practical application of AI in art creation. To discuss the latest progress in this field, welcome to contact us.

Generated some characters and furnitures from 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.

The only use of AI was to create voiceover for the trailer.

In Ashes of Mankind, we utilize AI-generated voiceovers to bring life to key in-game characters, such as GRIM and E.M.A. These entities serve as guides and narrators within the battlefield, known as The Citadel. Their unique personalities and lore were crafted by our team, with their voices pre-rendered using AI during development. Importantly, this use of AI is not generated live during gameplay, and there is no intention to impersonate real individuals or infringe upon existing copyrights. These AI-generated voices are carefully designed to enhance immersion while respecting all applicable guidelines. We remain committed to creating an engaging and authentic experience while ensuring transparency and compliance with Steam's policies.

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).
