Where do games disclose AI use?
Search developers’ Steam disclosures, compare classified AI use across
games, and follow recorded changes.
This index adds cross-game classifications and statistics to
statements published on individual store pages.
Groups reflect automatic analysis of public disclosures; mature records are excluded. These counts do not measure AI use across all of Steam.
Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
In our game development process, we have adopted AI technology to generate art content, mainly for the character portraits of esports players and illustrations in game events. We hope to provide players with richer and more diverse character portraits, but considering the economic, manpower, and time aspects, we find it difficult to afford a large amount of hand-drawn content. We have tried to separate parts such as the mouth, face, and nose, and then assemble them into 3D characters, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Therefore, we decided to try a new method: using AI to generate these contents. We used some of the content we had created before to train the AI model, allowing it to learn and understand the art style and requirements we want. Now, all the AI-generated character portraits and illustrations in the game are made by our trained model, and after completion, we also manually correct them.
We deeply understand that AI cannot replace the creativity and uniqueness of real artists. For this, we feel very sorry, but we also promise you that “Esports Godfather” is not a work without sincerity. We have spent a tremendous amount of time polishing innovative gameplay and various experience content. In these four and a half years, we have been committed to completing a work that satisfies everyone.
We hope you can understand our decision and continue to support our game. We will continue to work hard to provide you with a better gaming experience.
We have inclusions that contain a small amount of use of AI, described below:
1. The background of the "city wall" after the game login interface is an image generated using AI.
2. The Icon in the game is an image generated by AI.
3. The icons for "Moth Factory" and "Spider Factory" are AI-generated images.
Our game uses AI in a limited, supportive capacity. Specifically, AI occasionally assists in generating generic background elements or provides base inspiration through photobashing, which our artists then extensively modify. All AI-generated content is subject to significant human alteration to meet our artistic standards, ensure alignment with our creative vision, and faithfully represent the Wheel of Time canon.
The primary game assets, including nearly all in-game elements, are fully developed in 3D using traditional modeling techniques. AI, at present, does not meet our quality standards for these core assets. Instead, AI serves as a creative tool for pre-rendered 2D art pieces, which are heavily customized by our team.
Our game does not use AI for any live generation or dynamic content during gameplay. All portrayals of familiar characters, places, and items from The Wheel of Time books are created by Aether Games under full authorization and license.
We used generative AI tools to create base 3D meshes for some of the NPCs and initial compositions for achievement icons. These assets were not used 'as-is'; our team manually performed UV unwrapping, created custom texture masks, and modified the materials to ensure they work with our custom-made in-game shaders. This manual rework allows the assets to match our game’s unique visual style, performance standards, and lighting requirements.
The voice used for Aurora (the tutorial head) is AI generated from ElevenLabs.io and further processed.
Some of the graphics used were generated with Leonardo.ai and further processed
Our game utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the visual experience for players. Through innovative AI technology, we've crafted stunning graphical assets that bring our virtual world to life. From environments to intricate character designs, AI plays a crucial role in delivering immersive gameplay that captivates players from start to finish.
Tickle Monster has used the Midjourney AI service to generate most of the images shown in the game. In particular, the 650+ player images were generated using heavily pixelated and manually-edited composite images as source material, and mascots were generated from text inputs. None of the text content is AI-generated, though.
For more on the process used to generate player images, see this blog post:

For our game, we've generated the following content using pre-production AI tools:
1.Hero illustrations for the gacha interface.
2.Hero icons.
Background music for the game.
Character images and location sketches are created manually by our artists, but we also use neural networks to speed up the drawing of details. AI isn't used to generate content during gameplay.
Our game leverages the newest AI technology to enhance your gaming experience! From generative images that improve the visual aspects of the game to AI-driven voiceovers that add depth to every character, our use of AI extends to creating immersive storefront visuals and engaging marketing materials. This approach helps us deliver the game faster and better
We use AI during our production process to facilitate quest integration through our in-house tool, HanaCore.
It allows us to synthesize, correct, and integrate quests while fully respecting the existing lore.
We also use AI to assist with code generation, helping us save valuable development time.
During the game design process, we used advanced AI tools to generate some pictures as creative references and sources of inspiration, and professionals performed artistic processing on this basis to show the unique art style of "Atman: Rebel Flame". At the same time, we also attach great importance to player feedback and suggestions. If you have any suggestions on the artistic performance of the game, please feel free to communicate with us through the community.
Note: AI survival or pre-rendered content is included in the game
as follows:
1, In-game character voice-overs
2、Character stand-up drawings (and modified by the artist)
3, Pictures from the game event cards
