Where do games disclose AI use?

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

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.

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.

AI may be used to assist in the generation of card art, UI elements and associated game marketing materials.

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 package image of this game was created using multiple AI tools. Part of the background image and background character: Created using Stable Diffusion and provided under the CreativeML Open RAIL-M license. Part of the logo design: Created by Sonic-Alpha using OpenAI's generative AI, "ChatGPT," under the paid "ChatGPT Plus" plan. No AI-generated elements are included in the main game or in-game content.

The artist interacts with generative artificial intelligence to create the desired artistic effect that can evoke an emotional response.

Steam store page description corrections

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

Some of the Artworks in secret rooms are AI generated.

In-game patient responses are generated in real time with offline local language model. Game logo animation and part of game music samples/loops have been produced with tools utilizing generative technology.

- 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.

Generative AI was used to generate images for Store Capsule Assets and Library Capsule, Header, and Hero Assets. The game screenshots and gameplay footage (trailer) were not generated by AI and are unaffected by any AI.

AI was used to edit and manipulate images during development.

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

The storefront Logo for this game was created with the help of AI-assisted tools and was then further developed through manual work — modified, improved, and integrated to align with the game’s overall style and vision. No other AI generation was used in the development of this game.

The game includes AI-generated images.

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.

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.

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)

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.

Generative AI was used in a limited capacity during development to assist with marketing artwork.

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.

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.)
