This game uses generative artificial intelligence for localization and for some cinematic visuals. All in-game text has been translated into 20 languages using AI-assisted translation tools. The source language was written by the developer. AI-generated translations cover: English, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, and Arabic. Additionally, some cinematic visuals were pre-generated using AI image tools.
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.
his game uses pre-generated AI tools to assist in the creation of some background music tracks and specific image assets, such as [background art / illustrations]. All AI-generated audio and visual contents were pre-generated during development, manually reviewed, and modified by the developer to ensure they fit the game's intended atmosphere. There is no live-generated AI content during gameplay.
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.
This game uses generative AI-assisted tools in a small amount of non-core content, such as certain event illustration backgrounds, world map event displays, and some promotional materials used on the store page.
The core content of the game, including gameplay design, combat systems, character design, primary visual presentation, and programming, has been manually created and refined by the developer. AI-generated content is used only for supplementary visual purposes and does not affect the core gameplay experience.
AI tools were occasionally used during development to assist with coding challenges and debugging. All visual assets, audio, and in-game content were created entirely by humans, with no AI-generated art, music, or gameplay elements included in the final product.
Text in the game and its promotional materials is machine translated.
No code or graphic assets in the game itself, or its promotional materials, have been generated using machine learning algorithms.
Generative AI (LLM) was used to assist in translating in-game text.
Additionally, AI tools provided assistance in writing, optimizing, and debugging source code.
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.
During development, this game used generative AI tools to help brainstorm, expand, and polish narrative and dialogue text, and to assist with in-editor organization in the development stage (for example, using novel/story-related plugins to structure plot outlines). All such material was reviewed, rewritten, and unified by the team; the final in-game text is based on the version approved by the team.
If a game build includes dialogue or text generated in real time by a large language model (for example, online responses from a third-party AI service), we will update this disclosure with the specific scope when that feature goes live. In the currently public version, the experience is primarily based on pre-written, human-reviewed story content.
We did not use generative AI to replace basic fact-checking for historical subject matter; statements involving history and historical figures remain guided by design intent and human oversight.
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.
This game includes content created with the assistance of generative AI. AI tools were used to help create some visual assets, including promotional images, UI/background concepts, and selected in-game art references. AI-assisted coding tools were also used during development to help draft, refactor, debug, and improve parts of the game code. All generated or AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before inclusion in the game.
AI tools were used to assist in the conceptualization of store page art and background art. The final in-game assets are hand-crafted pixel art based on these AI-generated concepts.
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.
This game uses generative AI tools to assist with some pre-generated visual assets, including background art, character-related promotional art, item imagery, and store page materials. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before release. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
I use artificial intelligence to assist with multilingual text localization and adaptation, in order to make the game more accessible and enjoyable for a wider range of players.
Some of the art assets in this game were produced with the assistance of AI. The content has been rigorously screened and produced by the developers.
This game contains content created with the assistance of generative AI during development.
Generative AI tools were used to help create and iterate on parts of the game code, artwork, images, and multilingual translations. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, selected, and integrated by the developer.
The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.
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.
There's a full document detailing everything here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WIOGXHzCXwShVBGKuAYDpamK03sfzuYztLCzEqkt-sQ/edit
The short summary is that AI was used for a single graphical asset, some code, and some text strings that are largely unimportant for understanding the game.
This game does not use generative AI in real time.
Any generative AI content is created only in advance, in accordance with Steam's guidelines.
Programming
Generative AI tools may be used to assist with code completion, refactoring, and review. All code is subject to final human review before use.
Translations
For languages other than Japanese, AI tools may be used for translation.
Assets
Some in-game graphics and promotional images may be created with generative AI tools. All such assets are reviewed and edited by a human, and none are used as-is.
The game features a blend of meticulously handcrafted and AI-generated sprites, carefully selected through extensive and challenging AI prompting to create a unique and visually appealing art style.
All pixel art in the game is designed, hand-drawn and animated by our artists. No generative AI is used in any step of this process.
However, we use generative AI for promotional material. The concepts are first custom designed by our artists, and generative AI is used in an assistive role (e.g. sharpening, upscaling, etc.) to realize their artistic vision.
