Where do games disclose AI use?

Some music tracks, background narration scripts, and concept drafts were created with the help of AI tools during development. All AI-assisted content was then refined, edited, and finalized by our developers. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.

Some of the store page graphics were generated with the assistance of LLMs.

AI tools were used to generate reference images during development. All in-game art and content art hand-made by the developers.

Some visual elements in this game were created using AI-assisted tools

Pre-rendered bird facts and details in the game are generated by AI.

Some In-game 2D assets are AI generated

AI has been used to help develop the game's cover art.

The pre-rendered garden and animal facts in the game were generated by AI.

All 2D characters in the game are fully created by our 2D artist. Currently, the interactions between characters are generated with the help of ChatGPT. Additionally, the book story has been edited for grammar improvements using ChatGPT. In the future, once we secure funding or generate income from the project, our artist will create all character interactions manually to ensure the highest quality and authenticity.

We use AI for some code implementation, as well as for minor asset and SFX additions

Some store page images were created with the help of AI. Our game artist uses AI tools as part of the design process to speed up and enhance creativity.

We used generative AI tools to assist with the creation of some marketing assets and non-essential game content. Specifically, AI was used to generate character voice lines via TTS, decorative images for UI or promotional materials, and to assist with writing flavor text and descriptions. All final content was reviewed and edited by the development team to ensure quality and originality.

No AI was used for in-game graphics or music. This work is the product of human endeavor. In the game, AI tools assisted with composing a singular audio effect that was otherwise not possible, as visual animation timing was fixed. Outside the game, AI was used to support marketing materials (circa 5% of marketing content). There is no in-game generative AI. The clue generation runs locally, without a LLM or cloud service. We understand different people draw their own lines with AI. We aim to use modern tools responsibly, and hope this disclaimer provides for informed decision making.

Sketch Play includes an in-game assistant called Scholia. When you ask her to look at a page, she reads your drawing and writes back her impressions, a few things to try next, and an experience-point reward. That written feedback is generated by Gemma 4 E2B, a small open-weights AI model. Scholia cannot draw. She has no ability to generate images, alter your artwork, or add anything to the page. Everything in your sketchbook is drawn by you and the people you invite. The model runs entirely on your own computer. No account or internet connection is required, nothing you draw is uploaded, and none of your work is used to train anything. Her notes are one opinion, and she has biases.

Our game utilizes neural networks for creating visually stunning and immersive environments. AI technology is employed in the production pipeline to assist in rendering backgrounds and character designs, ensuring a unique and high-quality artistic style. While AI aids in the creative process, all generated content is carefully reviewed, refined, and finalized by our team of professional artists to meet the highest standards of originality and quality.

Some In-Game Textures

We have used AI to create our Store Page Capsule images but there is no use of AI in the game itself

Please make sure to edit this and fill out the rest.

AI tools were used to assist in creating some assets. All final visuals are hand-polished to ensure a consistent style.

AI is used only for Steam library artwork and promotional materials. The game itself contains no AI-generated content.

- Background Music - Realistic-style Image

Artificial intelligence was used to process certain images in the game.

All in-game assets are handcrafted without using AI generation. Several game store pages visual assets originate from limited AI-generated concept prototypes, subsequently enhanced through handcraft painting techniques to ensure stylistic cohesion and emotional depth.

Use of AI in coding, translations and planet texture generation.

Only the Steam key art (logo images) uses AI.

We used AI to create Achievement images.

This game uses AI-assisted tools for fact-checking and content verification.

Some elements of the images were textured using AI.

AI was used to create concept art. I'm making the game alone, with no budget, so it was necessary to speed up the process. However, the music, final artwork, code, animations, and script were all made by hand

We used AI to create the capsules for the game's store page and several assets in the game

AI was used to translate the Steam page

Some background music was created using Suno AI during development to support the game’s original soundtrack.

This game utilizes machine translation for localization.

We used AI to help create the soundtrack for the game and the game trailer.

We use machine translation to help translate the store page descriptions. None of the content in this game uses generative AI at all. Every game asset is handcrafted by our game artist and collaborator, and all the photos are legally licensed from stock photo site. We credit the respective owners of each photo within the corresponding levels. The in-game translations were entirely handled by our community members without any assistance from generative AI.

Some of Kernelbay’s 2D assets and music tracks were initially generated using AI tools as a base. However, every asset has been processed, refined, and modified by our team to ensure consistency, quality, and full integration with the game’s art direction and atmosphere.

The content of this game is human-made and manually designed, with love and care. The narration was professionally recorded and then enhanced with voice technology for a polished experience. Some of the narrated lines were written with the help of writing assistants and thoughtfully edited by hand.

AI & Photoshop was used to generate steam capsules and the Main Menu

Roughly 50% of the music is currently AI generated. We plan on replacing this music throughout Early Access.

For the images that represent the game in various sections of the Steam store

During development, we use AI-assisted tools in a limited and transparent way. These tools may help us with coding support, minor visual stylization, and creating quick promotional or icon-style variations based on assets we made ourselves. In all cases, the final game reflects the work, creative direction, and decisions of our own development team.

AI generated images on some game play UI and some store page images created by DALL-E. all pre rendered.... Big shout out to DALL...the rest of the coding and concept was human generated :)

As a small team with a limited budget, we used AI to assist with background music and multi-language localization. This allowed us to bring the game to a wider audience while focusing our resources on gameplay and visual design.
