Where do games disclose AI use?

Infrequent usage of placeholder character art, to be replaced as funding allows.

I primarily leverage generative AI to assist me with refining grammar and ensuring correct spelling in English and French.

The audio for the voicelines for CARA (suit voice) and the ship announcer was generated by text to speech AI and then post-processed manually through an effect chain to sound immersive.

AI was used only to help generate some of the props for the game's cover, as well as to create text-to-voice lines for a couple of the robotic characters in the game.

We use voice generation for some in-game introductory voices and music on bar.

We use AI as a supportive tool for localization.

AI was used to generate voiceover.

Outer Space Shack music is generated by AI.

AI Voice generation was used to generate voice of the in-game AI character (AI assistant ZERA is speaking to the player). AI was used to help the human editor person to correct dialogues written by a human.

The game use AI generated music and some pictures generated by AI.

Traxion 3 uses AI-generated voices for in-game characters.

As a solo dev, I use custom-trained AI tools for a small portion of the visuals/audio, based on assets I own or created. The vast majority of my development effort goes into the realistic rocket simulation and engineering systems.

This game used AI to help quickly iterate through designs for some UI elements using our own artwork as a baseline. AI is also used to help translate the game.

This game features voice acting and ambient music created using ElevenLabs. We exclusively use Professional Voice Clones (PVC) from the ElevenLabs Voice Library, which are created with the explicit consent and verification of the original voice actors. Through ElevenLabs’ Royalty Sharing program, the voice artists are financially compensated for their work used in this project.

Game contains recorded as well as AI generated voice lines based on licensed voice artists.

As much as we love handcrafted assets and visuals, we are only a two-person team. Some images, icons, and parts of the localization were created with the help of AI. This is a temporary solution, and our goal is to move away from AI-generated content entirely in the future.

Procedurally generated AI asteroids still in pre-alpha, we may need to relay on more AI generation to complete the episode.

We employ generative AI technologies during the creation of some assets. Typically this involves the ideation of content and visual reference material. These elements represent a minor component of the overall development. AI has been used to generate voices for an AI antagonist and a player advisor.

Aura Guidance system delivers generated knowledge based on real Rookie Help questions and answers.

Avatars were generated by AI

Some small parts of in-game assets are AI generated (like part of background music, or voice)

AI-assisted tools may also be used during development for temporary voice-over drafts, sound exploration, and visual concept iteration, strictly as part of the production workflow. Final voice acting, sound effects, music selection, visual assets, and UI elements are curated, edited, or replaced by the developer before release to meet quality, consistency, and licensing standards. No AI systems generate live audio, voices, images, or visual content during gameplay. All final in-game audiovisual content is authored, validated, and intentionally integrated into the game experience.

Some of the translations were done with AI assistance.

This game used AI to help quickly iterate through designs for some UI elements using our own artwork as a baseline. AI is also used to help translate the game; and is used for the AlienGPT custom species system using player inputs.

One of the Voice Actor's performances was digitally altered using AI tools.

Used AI powered video editing tool to animate the static images of our Rico Character and Sky Marshal. We used all our fully contracted and paid for existing content and images we had with these actors from our original recording sessions. No new AI content was generated.

Steam store page description corrections

We only use generative AI to create store page key art.

Using LLM Code Agent for indie development speed up (no "VIBE CODING", it's originally human made project in 2012-2025, author starts using LLM as smart assistant code edit tool since December 2025)

We use AI for some 3d models and images, but most of the content created is not generated by AI.

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.)

Some steam community/marketing content

The 2D character portraits (standing illustrations) in the game were created using Stable Diffusion and are provided under the CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.

Text to speech and some pre-rendered portraits.

1. We used ChatGPT-4 to make some custom javascript plugins. 2. Used ChatGPT-4/DALL-E3 to generate some of the faces of NPC's, also some icons for the system menu.

Pre-generated Text-To-Speech Voice Cloning for the Homunculus AI, where it makes sense creatively.

It's used to generate noize for some cinematics

Part of the narration and some 2D images in the game are pre-generated based on AI, and the author has purchased the copyright for them.

In order to empower a single developer to achieve results that would otherwise not be possible, the developer utilizes a variety of AI tools to help in the creation of specific texture designs, translations as well as incorporating text-to-speech voice models for voice narration within the game.

Chat-GPT and Sora were used to enhance some of the cutscenes, along with Suno and Eleven Labs for voice acting.

This project did not use tools to create content from text prompts. Because "Generative Artificial Intelligence" is inconcistently defined, following it the list all Machine Learning technologies I use. Many of them are widely used and not commonly considered AI, but meet the current dictionary definition of "computer system that has some qualities of human brain that is able to produce text, images, etc.", so I list them for full transparency: - Generating crew portraits with artist-driven sliders for facial features. - Creating portrait depth maps for dynamic lighting. - Upscaling promotional images. - Denoising rendered images. - Enhancing in-game ads with actor face replacement for realism. - Spell-checking, grammar-checking and rephrasing some text.

AI generation is used for graphical assets for marketing material only. Nothing in game is AI generated.
