Where do games disclose AI use?

Used for creating the game banner

AI-generated voices are used in cutscenes.

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.

I use Grok to help render background images for Scenes and the stores in order to set the tone/atmosphere.

Some icons and background images are currently prototyped with AI but will be replaced in the future if the budget allows it.

Parts of the trading cards artwork and profile backgrounds artwork were helped or enhanced by artificial intelligence.

There are two A.I. Minds within BQ. The first mind creates the content/visuals. The second mind interacts with the player in the form of attackable NPCs or friendly NPCs. But both minds never communicate with each other, and the first mind never communicates with the player.

Some parts of the soundtrack and/or minor voiceline grunts have been created or enhanced by Artificial Intelligence.

The game includes several textures that were initially generated using AI and subsequently refined through manual editing. There aren't many such objects in the game.

Some minor marketing material

Generative AI is used only during development for minor, replaceable elements like textures or icons. All core assets are created entirely by Wargaming’s artists and developers.

AI-generated images are used for the backgrounds of the Story Event Phases.

This game includes a limited number of AI assisted graphical assets.

Community items were generated using artificial intelligence.

Generative AI was used as a supporting tool during the creation of some of the Steam Community assets, with all AI-generated images being carefully refined and significantly reworked by a professional graphic artist. The game itself (and all in-game artwork) was created entirely by human developers and artists, without the use of generative AI.

AI tools were used to pre-generate a marching song heard during one of the sequences in late game.

Generative AI is used only during development for minor, replaceable elements like textures or icons. All core assets and code base are created entirely by Wargaming’s artists and developers.

Some artworks have been made with the help of the Midjourney AI tool.

The game uses some AI-generated sound effects, music, voice overs and in-game localization. It may, in rare instances use AI art fully or adopted by artists.

We utilize AI-assisted tools to create some of the 2D artwork assets used within the game’s narrative sections. All generated art has been reviewed and refined by our development team to ensure quality and consistency with the game's world.

Usage of AI-Generated and Assisted Illustrations in Shadow Empire Post-release Illustration Creation Process The developers use Midjourney and Nano Banana to generate high-resolution illustrations for new functionality added post-release, particularly for Vidcom and Stratagem artwork. These images are often post-processed by hand, as well as enhanced using tools like Magnific, Topaz Labs, or other upscaling and refinement software. AI in Post-release Portrait Art Portraits: A base image is generated using Midjourney with a generic prompt such as “portrait of young woman, military.” Smaller parts (eyes, nose, mouth, hair, etc.) are overlaid using DALL·E to create variations. Aging effects are achieved by rendering an older skin texture with partial transparency over the younger base face. The older the character, the more opaque the overlay becomes. (Note: Eyes and lips often retain a youthful appearance.) This effect is gradually applied using a limited number of sprite layers, allowing nuanced visual transitions. AI-Generated Art in Post-release Game Content The game includes AI-generated and AI-assisted illustrations for Vidcoms and Stratagems. All such AI-generated art is pre-generated — no generative AI tools are called or used in real-time by the game itself. The intention is to provide players with an option to toggle between the original and updated AI-enhanced graphics via preferences. (Note: This is an aim and may not yet apply to all content.)

Parts of this game’s package image (including part of the logo design and part of the background image) were created by Sonic-Alpha using OpenAI's "ChatGPT Plus." No AI-generated elements are included in the main game or in-game content.

The package image of this game was created using multiple AI tools. Part of the background image and background character: Created using Stable Diffusion and provided under the CreativeML Open RAIL-M license. Part of the logo design: Created by Sonic-Alpha using OpenAI's generative AI, "ChatGPT," under the paid "ChatGPT Plus" plan. No AI-generated elements are included in the main game or in-game content.

Some Picture that's all

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").

Our team utilizes AI in a variety of ways to improve the quality of our game. Here are a few examples of how our team incorporates AI into our development process: 1. We use AI to translate dialogue, subtitles, and (more infrequently) music into a variety of different languages spoken by players of our game. This allows more players from different regions to enjoy playing Operation: Harsh Doorstop in their own language, and helps us reach more players throughout the world. 2. We utilize machine learning to help train our NPC bots, giving non-player characters more realistic and adaptive behavior on the battlefield. 3. We utilize AI to assist with finding bugs and other issues in the game, which our developers can then diagnose and fix. We currently work with the RevoltGPT team to help us incorporate AI into our development workflows. If you're interested in learning more, you can visit their website at https://rvt.dev

Some of the backgrounds are created using AI and manual refinement.

Pre-rendered AI generated voices may be used for NPCs in a few missions.
