Where do games disclose AI use?

Some UI elements, Icons, Emblems, Sigils, Insignias, as well as Sound Effects, Special Effects, and Voice Lines have been created using various generative AI models under a Commercial Use license agreement with said generative AI models per each service's Terms of Service.

Some monster and character images are generated by AI

Short NPC dialogue uses Text-To-Speech audio Original card art created by a professional artist. With their permission, a few variants were made using AI tools

The original versions of some in-game art assets were generated by AI.

This game incorporates generative AI technology in the creation of its pixel art, environments, spritesheets, and animations. All AI-generated assets have been curated, edited, and integrated by our development team to ensure they align with the game's artistic vision and Lovecraftian themes. We are committed to transparency in our use of AI tools to enhance creativity and efficiency.

The game logo were created using AI-assisted tools. All other assets are handcrafted.

This game includes some visuals and audio assets that were created using AI-assisted tools during development. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

Some of the visuals were generated with the help of Sora AI and then edited by me in Photoshop. Everything else — the music, the text, the story, and the characters — was made by a human. The AI was only used to help with the graphics."

Generative AI was used to assist in the early creation stages of a small portion of the game's 2D images. These assets were subsequently refined and heavily edited by hand to match the game's final artistic style and quality standards.

To improve efficiency during the prototyping stage, the current demo version of our project temporarily uses AI-generated assets as placeholders for some background elements. We want to be clear that in the final version of the game, these placeholder assets will be entirely removed. All graphics will be replaced with 100% original artwork created by our in-house artists. This is our firm commitment to ensuring a unique and high-quality experience for all players.

The background and character images are based on AI generated images.

This game uses artificial intelligence to generate certain visual assets, such as promotional images and demo artwork. These assets are used solely for prototyping and early-stage presentation purposes. In the future, all visuals will be replaced with hand-drawn illustrations and original artwork created by human artists. No AI is used during gameplay or to generate content in real-time.

There is AI-generated content used only in the store page visuals.

The caller images are AI generated and these people do not exist in real life.

Localization is conducted either through AI translation followed by human review. Additionally, due to the nature of the scenario, Generative AI is utilized only for illustrations within the work that are explicitly labeled as 'Created by Generative AI.' (Generative AI was not used for general scenes, character illustrations, BGM, or other creative assets.)

Some music in Journey to the Center of the Lost Waterpark has been created with the assistance of generative machine learning tools (short: "AI"). No content is generated by AI during live gameplay. All visual elements, mechanics, interactions, SFX, texts and story are hand-crafted by the (human) development team. The AI tools that were used for generating some music tracks are commercially licensed to ensure compliance with the platform's terms of service and intellectual property guidelines. There are 2 types of music in this game that were generated by AI: - At the end of the game: The final credits song - In-game: Everytime you see a song information in the bottom right corner of the screen when music starts to play

Translated using AI

We've used AI to generate icons for our power-ups. The translations may also be generated by AI in some instances.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist developers to create and debug game scripts, and support charactor dialogues and game description writing. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and curated by our team to ensure originality and compliance. No AI-generated content is produced in real-time during gameplay.

The voices have been generated using TTS and post-processed with AI to give them a more natural intonation

Some visual and textual materials used for the Steam store page were temporarily created with the assistance of generative AI tools. These assets are placeholders and will be replaced with fully original, handcrafted designs created by our team prior to the final release.

The game's introductory images were created using AI-generated content. The capsule images were also partially generated using AI tools.

Some banners made with the help of AI

A small number of textures and descriptive texts were based on AI-generated content and then appropriately refined by hand to produce the final assets.

Most of our assets are hand-made, but there are a scattered handful of assets that were AI generated. Background skybox, distant castles, and even a few small entities. Things like that.

Some background visuals and textual elements were created using AI-generated technology.

Part of the modified content of this game is generated with AI assistance, including (some character drawings, backgrounds, CG, music, etc.). All AI-generated content is manually reviewed and optimized to ensure quality and consistency. This game uses AI-generated content based on legal data sets, complies with Steam policy content, and ensures no infringement of third-party copyrights.

All designs are conceived and created by hand, but I also use AI tools during the pre-production phase to help develop details and after the compositing stage. The music in the game is generated by AI based on predefined parameters. The game does not use any real-time AI-generated content.

Using AI for translation

We used AI to generate some of the background images for our game.

We use AI tools to enhance the overall quality of the game, specifically for background music, translation, and streamlining early-stage work. We guarantee that all final art assets in the game have been meticulously hand-finished and completed by human artists.

AI assistance was used to generate and refine graphic elements(backgrounds, some sprites)

Some of the arts are made using A.I.

Description in the store

This game used some AI generated photos and textures.

All visual art and assets in Nightmare Frontier were created entirely by human hands; no art assets in the game have been generated or assisted by AI. Our use of AI is strictly limited to translation and localization. Specifically, AI-powered translation tools were used to help adapt and refine the game's text across different languages.

Pictures are made with AI pixel art generator as part of a learning project.

Some textures were generated with AI.

The UnSeen logo is a photomontage from several AI-generated images

We used AI tools for the following elements in the game: - Translation of the experimental in-game languages - Some textures (primarily wall pictures and item icons) - Three sound effects Why We Used AI: We are two developers working with limited resources and without external funding or a publisher. All other assets including 3D models, other textures, sound design, rigging, animations, story, music, and programming, were created by us. Our goal was to achieve a distinct visual and atmospheric style that avoids both hand-painted aesthetics and asset flipping. Instead, we aimed for a more grounded, realistic look, and selectively used AI tools to support this vision.

All AI images used are edited to heavily edited by hand. They were used for the cover art, enemies and background art.

AI was used to draw certain monsters and battle backgrounds, as well as the logo of the game.

The video content of the game is created by the creator after creating storyboards, character settings, scene settings, and story content settings, through 3D modeling and animation production, and then using AI for style conversion, and further post production synthesis and rendering by the creators. Music, dubbing, and other elements are all created by creators with the assistance of artificial intelligence and processed by post production personnel.

The images were professionally created with the help of AI. All are high-quality and carefully selected

Created some game promotional images and icons using AI tools

NOTES: This work was set up in September 2022. For the purpose of conducting academic research on emerging technologies, AI image generation technology (which was still in its early stages of development at the time) was used to assist in processing the visual effects of some content, and an AI music generation tool was used to create the background music. In order to avoid the abuse of artificial intelligence generation tools, only the default data sets provided by AI tools are used during the development process. All usage methods include: 1. Process the real photos to create "alien" and "distorted" effects; 2. With the "abstract image generated based on the provided keywords", manually perform secondary design, reconstruction, and drawing; 3. Generate music clips that fit the atmosphere by adjusting parameters such as musical instruments used and pace, then perform secondary editing to them. All contents involving artificial intelligence were completed before 2023. After that, AI image generation technology has been completely stopped, no longer and will no longer continue to be used for development. For all AI-generated image assets utilized in the work, this work only reserves the right to use.

All of the images in this game are generated by neural networks trained on images (aka “AI generated”). If you choose to boycott all AI generated material, please do not buy this game. If you are uncomfortable with the thought but are interested in my game, please read on. The aesthetic of this game had to come from the strange, uncanny look of AI. There is a heartlessness to the visuals that is intentional. I am not trying to copy the look of other artists. The only tool capable of producing the look I was going for was a malfunctioning AI. Ironically, I have had a number of people tell me that it looks much more realistic than standard AI. I am assuming this is because of how I tried to reproduce the look of old media. All images, aside from the title screen, credits and some of the video shot on camcorder were generated by AI prompts. It took several days of exploring before I began generating images that fit the aesthetic I was looking for. I have heard AI described as a slot machine, and I think the metaphor is somewhat accurate. I think of this as similar to indeterminacy in music. Using random number generators can produce interesting outputs, but you need to refine and direct the system to do so. I started my process in Midjourney. My ratio of usable images was around 100 to 1; for every 100 images I generated, I found one usable piece for the game. I created an automated process to transform these images to 16:9 widescreen in Photoshop Beta. Some of these images I touched up manually or regenerated sections of the image. There are some real images and hand painted imagery within the AI elements. Often, I would have to generate the sides of the image multiple times because photoshop didn’t generate what I needed. To those concerned about not paying artists: I understand this, but I want to be clear that this was not created to replace the work of artists, any more than the synthesized scores to horror films were about replacing orchestras. These are tools that do different things. Rather than some sort of lazy shortcut, the use of AI imagery is essential to the aesthetic and narrative of the Path of Veins.
