Where do games disclose AI use?

As a small, two-person startup studio, meeting the full graphical needs of our game is a challenge. To bring our cards to life, we use a combination of original artwork and AI-generated art, ensuring a balance between creativity and efficiency.

Characters and graphics made with Midjourney. Title theme made with Aiva.

The images of the story trailer and a few shop icons were generated with the help of AI.

This game use generative artificial intelligence to pre-rendered art for the game, This includes the game itself, the storepage, and any Steam community assets or marketing materials.

We created our in-game cards through an artificial intelligence-based system that is popular in our world. These cards are created from many people's personal dreams and ideas.

Generative AI (DALL·E 3) was used in Steam community resources. Specifically in achievements art.

IA was use to create images and textures (https://starryai.com/app/create) Everything is mad by human

Partial of cards adopted AI generated textures.

We use AI for capsule image and loading screens.

AI was used to revise, troubleshoot, and enhance code during development, including generating formats and adding logic based on common C# practices. All assets, such as images, sounds, and other content for the game, store page, marketing materials, and community assets, were ethically sourced and created without AI tools.

Some names, texts and images are based on AI generation.

AI was used to help with code, writing, and visuals since the project was made on an extremely small budget.

Enhanced Visuals with AI-Generated Art In our game, we've utilized generative AI art to create unique assets that enhance your experience. This includes visually striking loading screens and engaging menu backgrounds, all designed with AI technology for an aesthetically pleasing gaming environment. Simple yet effective, this approach adds a distinctive touch to your gameplay experience.

d-id was used to generate the game's cutcine videos.

The English synthetic voices have been developed using AI technology.

We used AI service to make chatting with some NPCs in our game more fun and personalized for you. Your chat with the NPCs you can talk to will be periodic. You will have to wait for a while before you can talk to them again.

Our game leverages sophisticated artificial intelligence to create an immersive and unpredictable gameplay experience. Each citizen is powered by AI, enabling them to exhibit distinct personalities, react dynamically to player actions, and contribute uniquely to the mystery. This AI integration not only enhances the realism of the city environment but also ensures that no two playthroughs are the same, providing a fresh challenge every time.

The game’s logo + the achievment logos was generated using AI and then manually edited and finalized by the developer. No gameplay, art, or audio content was AI-generated. All in-game content was manually created. The AI-generated logo does not affect gameplay or user experience.

Some in-game content, such as simulated chat spam and cutscene art in WISH (as befits the narrative) was created with the assistance of AI powered tools.

We use AI in creation of some images of our game and in our Community Items. For example the infamous "Sinner Santa", owes it's image to the AI.

"My game leverages Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to dynamically create and enhance several aspects of the visual experience. Specifically, I use AI for: Application Icon: The game's icon is generated with AI, offering a unique and engaging visual that reflects the game's theme and atmosphere. Mouse Cursor Replacement: I've designed AI-generated mouse cursors that adapt to different game environments and contexts, providing a seamless and immersive interaction experience. GUI Sprites: Certain elements of the game's graphical user interface (GUI) are created using AI, allowing for a diverse and dynamic presentation that evolves based on gameplay and player choices. I am committed to ensuring that all AI-generated content adheres to Steam's standard store requirements. To this end, I have implemented robust guardrails to prevent the generation of inappropriate or illegal content within my game. I have conducted thorough testing to ensure that the AI behaves as intended, and I continuously monitor and update my AI systems to maintain the highest standards of content integrity and respect for copyright. Furthermore, I encourage our community to report any instances of inappropriate or unexpected AI-generated content through the Steam Overlay's reporting tools. I am dedicated to addressing any such issues promptly to ensure a positive and respectful gaming environment for all players. My use of AI is aimed at enhancing the visual appeal and interactivity of my game, making each player's experience unique and engaging. I believe that this innovative approach to game design will offer players a fresh and dynamic gaming experience."

Some of the original art designs in the game referenced AI-generated content.

Image generation is used for in-game elements such as posters

Alle Sätze der Sprecher im Spiel sind mit einer Text to Speech Software KI generiert.

The card images in the game are obtained through AI drawing

Some of the store artwork (Steam capsules) are designed with assistance of generative AI. The game itself - includding the music, levels, code and all artwork - is "hand made" without any of this AI stuff.

We have utilized an AI program to help us generate music within the game and Steam Main Graphics for the game.

Starting with the version 1.3 patch, AI tools were used to make minor translation updates to French, Spanish and German text in conjunction with a review by a professional.

The graphics in the game (backgrounds and sprites) - are the result of strong processing of 3d models.

Generative AI was used to create music and sound effects for the game.

Backgrounds

**Disclosure on Use of Generative AI in Development** *Lost Traces: False Awakening* and *Lost Traces: Genesis* are ambitious projects developed by a **small indie team**. To efficiently achieve the large scope and detail of the game's world, we made selective use of pre-generated tools during development. This approach was strictly limited to foundational elements which were then heavily refined by human artists and engineers: * **Character Designs (Images):** A portion of the initial character design concepts and visual elements (used on the store page and in-game) were informed by licensed image generation tools, such as **Stable Diffusion**. Every single piece of content has since been **manually edited, digitally painted, and extensively refined** by our artists to ensure unique visual identity and high quality. * **Voice Dialogue (Audio):** A portion of the in-game voice dialogue was generated using licensed text-to-speech or AI voice tools. This audio was subsequently run through **professional editing, mastering, and processing** to ensure vocal quality, pacing, and consistency across the game's soundscape. Our team maintains **full creative and artistic control** over all final assets. We did not use any AI tools to generate content *live* during gameplay.

Visual art

We have used open source LLMs trained on our game's lore and dialogue to generate quests. We have used our own private NeRF systems to generate some 3D models. Some of our marketing materials, game icons, and concept art was generated using art we had designers create under contract for this game. That art was used to train an open source generative system.

* Contents below are copied from the game, the soundtrack does not use any Generative AI technology. User will be able to talk in freeform with the NPCs within the game world according to the environment given to them. Some of the evidence (photos on the wall, book covers) have been created using AI tools

Artificial intelligence was used only for Store Photos, no content in the game was created or directed by artificial intelligence.

Used AI to create images such as loading screen and steam art.

- Text-related: Translation of store descriptions for non-Japanese stores

We used generative AI for: art on the store page, and some in-game textures. Each AI-generated content was then manually adjusted by our in-house artist to ensure the presence of human input in the art and high quality of the game.

Some art resources was generated using open-source AI image generators.

Original art, Blender, AI and Photoshop are combined to create in-game assets

游戏中部分美术素材由AI生成

The cover art and character poses and expressions in our game were initially generated using AI during the development phase to enhance the creative process. These elements were then redrawn by our art team to ensure quality and originality. Additionally, the story text within the game was refined, proofread, and translated with the assistance of AI tools. No real-time AI content is generated during gameplay, ensuring players receive a consistent and controlled gaming experience.

Note: One UI sprite icon and one wall art in the game was created using AI.

A few background concepts were generated with AI that retains respect to artist copyright (Adobe Firefly) but we are still working on reworking these few instances with our art team!
