Where do games disclose AI use?

Some art assets (cargo icons, music tracks, marketing images) were created with assistance from AI generation tools and refined by the developer. All game code, design, and gameplay systems are human-created. No AI content is generated at runtime during gameplay.

The store page capsule image (cover art) was generated using AI.

AI generative models were used to create localization files to support languages that would otherwise be difficult for a solo developer. Placeholder AI-generated assets have been created for the Steam store splash images, with the intent of commissioning an artist if this gains community support. All in-game assets (sprites, music, sound effects, UI elements, and interactive content) were created by humans and are credited in the game credits. CPU opponents use traditional game AI algorithms, not generative AI models. This is the third iteration of development, that was originally developed in 2019 with HTML + JS, then rebuilt in Unity, and then transferred to LOVE2D written in Lua. It was more-or-less built with a box of scraps in a cave in its first iterations, and modern software since those days have effectively blurred the line where task automation meets unethical AI consumption. It's up to each of us to determine where that line is for ourselves in a rapidly changing digital age. As both a solo game dev and multimedia artist carrying a full-time job in neither of those fields, I feel that it's important to be educating ourselves on where AI can be a useful tool to allow new opportunities and expand capabilities for independent creators that are otherwise untenable, while keeping the human side of game dev at its core, especially in the indie genre.

Generative AI was used solely to assist in creating promotional materials and store page visuals. All in-game content is human-created and does not involve generative AI.

This game includes AI-generated content. Voice lines were created using ElevenLabs AI voice synthesis technology. Some sound effects were generated using AI tools. The intro sequence features AI-generated images that were heavily edited and manipulated in Adobe Photoshop as part of the artistic process.

Generative AI was used to help code the game, create music, create sound effects (including voice lines), and create marketing assets such as the capsule and other images.

Some promotional visual assets (such as capsule images and store graphics) were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and were then reviewed, edited, and finalized by the development team. No generative AI is used during gameplay or to create real-time in-game content.

COALCOM was built by a solo developer with 20+ years in the power industry. Generative AI was used to write and iterate on game code — it's what made finishing a +10-year project idea finally possible. Some written content, including store page copy and the game manual, was drafted with AI assistance and refined by the developer. The game design, mechanics, domain expertise, and voice are entirely human. The visual assets were not AI-generated.

We use AI tools to generate English voiceovers. These voice lines were manually tuned and refined (using SSML) to ensure emotional accuracy and quality. Additionally, some 2D assets, including UI elements and model textures, were created with the assistance of AI generation tools.

As a solo developer, this project would not have been possible without the use of AI tools during early production to generate placeholder assets. Most if not all of these assets will be replaced with original artwork. No people have been replaced by AI.

To ensure the best quality for Velocide Overdrive, generative AI was used as a supportive tool in the development process: - Visual Assets: A very small number of icons and static images were initially generated using AI, then manually retouched and integrated. The vast majority of the game's visuals are procedurally generated via code or created manually. - Audio: The soundtrack and effects are a blend of human creation and AI-assisted composition. Some AI-generated audio elements have been manually modified, mixed, and finalized by the developer to ensure they perfectly match the gameplay experience. - Code & Testing: AI tools were utilized to assist with coding logic, debugging, and optimization to ensure game stability. All AI-assisted content in this game is pre-rendered and has been reviewed by the developer.

AI was used exclusively to create temporary placeholder images for character skill and perk descriptions. This decision was made due to budget constraints during the early stages of development. As the project progresses and resources become available, all AI-generated assets will be replaced with high-quality, hand-crafted artwork created by professional artists.

Generative AI tools were used solely for the creation of the store capsule images to enhance visual presentation quality, cinematic atmosphere, and narrative depth. No real-time AI generation is used within the game itself.

Background Music (BGM) Team Logo

AI helps with writing simple scripts, voice acting, and music composition

Generative AI tools were used during the development of this game. Specifically, AI was utilized for icon images, promotional trailers, and the ending cinematic sequences. All AI-generated content has been manually reviewed and refined by the development team to ensure quality and copyright compliance.

Generative AI was used for a few non-gameplay elements: marketing materials excluding screenshots, the game logo and its in-game implementation, a noise map for shaders, and some post processing textures specifically to aid in the creation of the CRTV effect. All other visible assets, music, and sounds were made by hand.

Some AI is used in materials

"We utilize AI tools for art styling and prototyping to optimize development efficiency and reduce costs. This ensures our small team can dedicate our limited manpower to conceptualizing and expanding the game's core content, ultimately delivering a much richer narrative depth and a significantly larger script."

Generative AI was used during the design stage to visualize original sketches and create UI concepts. Based on these visualizations, all final interface elements and graphical assets were manually refined and created to match the game's artistic style.

Some images in the game were created using AI.

AI will not be used to generate any artwork or audio that ships with the game. Generative AI and AI agents are used as part of our development workflow. This allows us to create and control and the vast amount of narrative and dialogue texts to make our procedural dialogue system possible. The amount of topics, dialogue paths and character reactions we have planned with this system would not be possible to achieve otherwise. The dialogue content that ships with the game will be curated to be believable, and fits the game's world and lore.

The animation assets, background music, and sound effects in this game are generated using AI

AI was used to assist in drafting, refining, and translating the store page's Short Description and Long Description. This was done to ensure better readability, clarity, and grammatical accuracy for players. The final content was reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer to ensure it accurately reflects the gameplay experience. As well as assisting in the creation of some 2D UI elements and icons.

Some Steam Store materials have been created using generative AI. Some in-game assets (descriptions, textures, music) have been created using generative AI.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with art assets, text, and localization during development.
