Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
As a small, two-person independent development team, we utilized generative AI tools to create some of our character visuals and background artworks due to budget constraints. To ensure originality and maintain our artistic vision, these AI tools were guided by our own artist's original work, with their explicit permission. Please note that these AI-generated assets are currently serving as placeholders. As development continues and our resources grow, we plan to replace them with original, hand-drawn artwork in future updates. The game does not feature any live AI content generation during gameplay.
D.E.C.A.Y. has been developed by a single developer for over two years. Nearly all of the game’s content has been created by hand - from the environment to many objects inspired by real-world prototypes, helping make the world feel more atmospheric and alive.
Only a small number of images and certain visual elements were created using generative AI tools.
Some minor visual assets, such as icons and UI elements, were created or assisted using licensed AI tools during development.
All AI-assisted content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure consistency with the overall art direction and quality standards.
AI is not used in gameplay systems, code, or real-time content generation.
Generative AI tools were used solely to assist with localization and translation processes. All translated content was reviewed and edited by the development team before being implemented in the game. The game does not use live AI-generated content during gameplay.
Images: AI was used to generate base designs for some in-game UI icons. These have been manually refined and edited for the final version.
Sound: AI tools were used to assist in the generation of certain ambient sounds, sound effects, and background music.
Localization: AI was used as a translation aid for the game's text. All AI-generated translations have been reviewed and edited by the developer to ensure accuracy and a natural flow.
The game includes only a few background radio tracks and some NPC voice lines created with the help of AI tools, which will be replaced in future updates.
Some illustrations used in the Arcade Mode (beta version) were created using a hybrid workflow that combines hand-drawn artwork and generative AI-assisted editing.
The developer first creates original pencil sketches by hand, then digitizes and edits them on PC. Generative AI is used only to assist with draft refinement and background adjustments, followed by additional manual editing in image software.
It has not yet been decided whether these illustrations will be replaced with fully hand-crafted versions during or after Early Access development.
Some visual and marketing assets for this game were created or assisted using AI tools during development.
No AI-generated content is used in real-time during gameplay, and all core game systems, mechanics, and player experiences are fully handcrafted.
AI tools were used strictly during the development phase to assist with writing code scripts and drafting text descriptions. All game mechanics, logic, and assets were manually reviewed, tested, and finalized by the developer.
FriedrichAI uses a locally hosted AI model to provide responses, assist with coding tasks, and support general interaction.
All processing is performed on the user’s machine. The application does not rely on cloud-based AI services and does not send user data externally.
The AI generates text-based responses based on user input and is intended for productivity, development assistance, and general-purpose use.
AI usage has been very light and, in my opinion, the correct/optimal use of AI.
AI has been predominately used in the form of a chatbot efficiency tool. I've used it to troubleshoot matchmaking logic flows, I've pasted blocks of text for it to clean up readability or catch spelling errors, I just asked it for the quickest way to change images to grayscale in MS Paint as I was creating Steam Achievements. Things like that.
I have hired an artist that claims he does not use AI, though I admit I cannot completely verify that. The hero image and some title art was developed by him. All sprite work in the game itself was made by humans. Music was pulled from various places. My brother-in-law created some songs and did not use AI. Other tracks and sound effects were pulled from free-use websites that did not make any AI disclosures.
Really truly, the heart and soul of this game is for humans made by humans. AI has been used, but only as the tool it is meant to be, not as the replacement of human creativity it is slowly elbowing its way into.
AI-generated images and audio in the default example project, used for demonstration purposes only. It will be fully replaced with real art in one of the next updates!
This game uses generative AI for its multi-language localization to provide immediate support for French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Korean. While we strive for accuracy, some linguistic nuances may vary.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence tools only during development to create certain visual and audio assets. All content experienced by players is pre-rendered and reviewed, with no automatic real-time generation during gameplay.
We use generative AI as an assistive tool in the following areas of development:
Art (Character Portraits) — AI is used to generate initial draft sketches for character portraits. All AI-generated drafts are manually refined, redrawn, and finalized by our artists to meet our quality and style standards.
Art (UI Icons) — AI is used to generate a portion of UI icons for the game interface.,
All AI-generated outputs are reviewed, modified, and approved by our team before inclusion in the final product. We ensure that no AI-generated content infringes on third-party intellectual property rights.
Some minor visual elements such as parts of the logo design and a few user-interface textures were originally assisted by generative tools and then refined manually.
Generative AI is starting to be used solely for sound effects, and I'm limiting my use to sound effects only.
Now, as in the future, music and art will not be created using generative AI.
The current version of the game utilizes a variety of AI-assisted / AI-generated assets to support its development. My intent is to eventually replace or further polish as many of these assets as is feasible during the Early Access journey, though this remains a long-term aspiration.
- 2D Assets: Some character portraits, backgrounds, minor textures, and store artwork are generated or enhanced using AI (e.g. style transfer from custom 3D renders and upscaling). These assets are further edited and integrated manually.
- Narrative Slides: Images used in story sequences are AI-generated and used with minimal or no manual modification.
- Voice Acting: Dialogue voiceovers use text-to-speech (TTS).
- Text: Store descriptions, in-game text, and dialogue are written by the developer and refined using AI tools for clarity, consistency, and phrasing (e.g. tooltips and ability descriptions).
Generative AI tools were used to assist with the creation and editing of artwork for some Steam Store and Library assets, as well as with the translation and localization of game-related text. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by the development team. Generative AI is not used to generate content during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI services.
As a small indie team, we have used generative AI tools to help create temporary placeholder assets during development, including some capsule artworks, localization support, and certain in-game icons. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and integrated manually by our team.
About 98% of the art assets in this game are human authored. 100% are human edited.
Which assets used ai:
-7 pro logos that could not be satisfied with dev skills or outsourcing
-The purple images in the SportsZone intro. These were generated because no public domain photos of 1990s era football players exist and pixel art or digital art were not appropriate.
-The studio background and suit.
-The store page assets used public domain images which then received minor ai changes, colors, hair, text, etc. This was done because they needed to look like real photos rather than obvious composites.
We used AI to draft the capsule composition and polish, but all in-game art is hand-made/purchased from artists. The goal was to present the game clearly while staying within a small indie budget.
