Where do games disclose AI use?

We’ve utilized AI to assist in the creation of certain visual elements, such as asteroids and ships, which are featured in the game. These AI-generated assets were thoughtfully integrated to enhance your visual experience. Please note, AI is not involved in gameplay or player interactions.

Description of the Game’s Use of AI Our game does not use generative AI to create gameplay behavior or influence player decisions. All narrative content, character behavior, dialogue, level design, and artistic direction are hand-crafted by the developer. We only use AI in limited, non-gameplay ways, such as: Development assistance (e.g., debugging or improving scripts). Optional asset prototyping (concept sketches used as early references before creating final assets). No AI systems interact with the player during gameplay, and no player data is used to train AI models. The in-game guidance, character responses, and story progression are fully authored, not generated dynamically by AI.

Icons + Artists Paintover for 5 icons, out of 100s of artist icons

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

Some graphics, music, and translations were created with the help of AI and refined manually.

AI tools are used to assist with artwork and localization.

Use of AI for backgrounds images in the menu presentation. Some decorative assets in the game like posters and paintings.

This game includes translations created with the assistance of AI and edited for quality.

- Part of the original texts in the briefing were spellchecked, reviewed and slightly improved using AI text tools. Original texts written by the Team. Original research and writing was human-made.

Card illustration: Created by editing AI-generated images.

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 utilize AI-assisted tools to create some of the 2D artwork assets used within the game’s narrative sections. All generated art has been reviewed and refined by our development team to ensure quality and consistency with the game's world.

Using generated images for the Steam store page icons

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.

Parts of the trading cards artwork and profile backgrounds artwork were helped or enhanced by artificial intelligence.

The background of our logo is generated by AI. As a solo developer I've been 100% focused on gameplay and have not had the time or resources to work with an artist for marketing and social materials. Hopefully as we grow our community during Early Access we can find a few artists that are passionate about creating personalized content that best represent Nova. Nothing in-game is generated by AI.

Some of the Artworks in secret rooms are AI generated.

Steam achievements may contain pictures that was generated by AI

Generate achievement icons using AIGC

Using AI for marketing images and text translations.

- Promotional Art - In game static art and some background graphics (which can be disabled in options)

AI was used to create some of the in-game posters.

All content created using AI (artwork, code, audio, etc.) is pre-generated. No content is created using AI during gameplay.

Chat GPT is used to search for programming solutions and to generate names. AI is used to translate to other languages than English. The paintings are prepared with a mixed canvas of AI images, 3D models, photos, textures and other paintings. And is then manually painted over, together with some filters and effects. Generated audio melodies, voices and sound filters for game events are used.

Translation into some (but not all) languages (in the game and on the store page) ​​was made with the assistance of AI.

Some game content, marketing materials, and character voices for Medieval Frontiers were created or translated with the assistance of AI tools. While we use these technologies to support our workflow, every feature and narrative beat is a result of our team’s deliberate creative decisions. The final experience is hand-guided by our vision to ensure the world feels authentic to our players.

Parts of the trading cards artwork and profile backgrounds artwork were helped or enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Some of our artwork is generated via an AI and then re-rendered by our artist.

AI tools were used in the production of the voice acting. We are a five-person team that has been working on this project for several years without the budget of a large studio. In our case, this was a practical solution that allowed us to complete the game at the level of quality we were aiming for. All creative decisions and the final shape of the game were made by our team. AI was used as a supporting production tool, not as a replacement for the creative work behind the game.

Some achievement icons and loading screen artwork were created by the developer using generative AI tools.

AI stock images and generative AI content is occasionally used in the development process of art assets we use for things like, but not limited to, event themes.

The Art Director chose a composition for each background. They were then made by professional artists or, for a few, bought on Adobe Stock. Finally, the art director enhanced each background in Photoshop and also through LeonardoAI.

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

Character audio is generated by AI.

AI was used to generate the images of the characters in the default in-game database. There is also a 100% optional, opt-in only AI Chatbot assistant that can help provide booking ideas.

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.)

Steam achievements may contain pictures that was generated by AI

I use PhotoShop's generative AI, Replica Studios for some voice acting, and ChatGPT for some quest dialogue. I also use Mid Journey to generate graphics. Most AI generated content is temporary and will be replaced when/if the game ever makes enough money to hire people to replace them.

This game used AI translation.

We use Generative AI for a select few minor assets, but the vast majority of our game's content is proudly hand-crafted.

We have used in-house AI models to generate background assets, font, and some voices. We will continue to advance the practical application of AI in art creation. To discuss the latest progress in this field, welcome to contact us.

The game tutorial uses optional AI generated voiceover.

We use AI to generate art pictures or graffiti used in some backgrounds.

During development, we may use AI tools to assist with character voice-overs and certain illustrations. In all such cases, AI-generated materials are treated as draft content: our team selects, edits, and combines them before approving the end result. The final product is made under the full creative control of our developers and artists and reflects their artistic vision.

Generated some characters and furnitures from AI

This game has used AI to partially create the following art assets: Slime character, Chain, Ball, Slime picture from the menu's and the slime imagery on steam.
