AI Generated Content Disclosure
Pre-generated AI:
"Artificial intelligence tools were utilized during the development process to generate initial 3D character assets and models. Following the generation, our development team extensively refined the textures, customized the coloring, and completely performed the rigging and weight painting manually."
This game contains pre-generated AI-assisted content, including some character artwork, visual assets, and audio. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated into the game by the developer.
We use claude/codex to help us translate our story to other languages. Members of the development team speak these languages:
- English
- Romanian
Outside of these languages, all story is translated with the help of AI. The narrative itself is being written by one of the developers and without the help of AI
Generative artificial intelligence has been used to create and assist with pre-rendered graphic assets included in the final product. Specifically, it was employed to generate loading screen illustrations, the cover art design (acting as a filter), and sprites for certain enemies and minor environmental elements. All content was reviewed, edited, and statically packaged prior to distribution and use in the game.
Some visual assets in the game (such as background elements and sprites) were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Some localizations were produced using AI-assisted translation. AI tools may also be used for some promotional and store page materials.
I use generative AI tools as part of art pipeline. Some visual assets - such as background art and certain textures - are created with AI assistance (e.g. Midjourney, Gemini) and then manually refined, edited, and composited before being integrated into the game. All AI-assisted content is reviewed by me personally to ensure quality and appropriateness. The game does not generate any content live during play.
During development, some of the game's art assets (including icons, UI elements, scene backgrounds, and character visuals) were created with the help of AI image-generation tools, then curated, adjusted, and integrated by hand. The game does not generate any AI content in real time during play.
The Darkened Northern Lights uses generative AI to help create some of the content that ships with the game:
Artwork: many of the game's pixel-art characters and graphics were made with the help of an AI art tool.
Sound: some of the game's audio was created with the help of AI.
Text and localization: parts of the game's text and its Finnish and English translations were produced with the help of AI.
All of this content was reviewed by the developer and is fixed - it does not change while you play. The game does not generate any content live during gameplay. An optional feature that generates extra storybook tales may be added in a future update; if so, this notice will be updated.
This game utilizes generative AI tools as an assisting tool for creating various assets, including Artwork (Character portraits, backgrounds, and some UI elements), Sound (BGM and effects), and Text (localization).
AI was also used to assist in programming and debugging. All assets were carefully selected by the developer, and the core gameplay systems, balance, boss design, and all strategic features were entirely designed and implemented by hand.
We used generative AI tools in a limited capacity during development: some store page descriptions and marketing texts were drafted with AI assistance and finalized with human editing. Some non-Chinese localization texts were translated using AI and reviewed by humans. All core gameplay, programming, and level design were created by the developers.Some in-game artwork / background music was created with the assistance of generative AI tools.
This game's development uses generative AI tools in the following ways:
Image assets: generating some artwork and image materials (directed and curated by the developer; final design decisions and adjustments are made by a human).
Coding: assisting with implementation and development (design decisions and final code review are done by a human).
No content is generated by AI at runtime.
The Heretic's Seal uses generative AI for some pre-rendered art assets, including character portraits, enemy and NPC illustrations, world map and biome backgrounds, and select promotional video clips. As a one-person studio, AI tooling lets a single developer ship dungeon-crawler-scale art volume.
All gameplay systems, game design, narrative writing, code, level design, and runtime visuals are created by the developer. No AI runs during gameplay — every system, decision, and reaction in-game is hand-crafted code.
Some of the character art and backgrounds are based on images created with AI.
These are used only as a basis to start from and
are then heavily edited manually by our art team
to make them fit the visual style of the game —
the final product reflects the creativity and
expression of our own development team.
Character art and event scene illustrations in this game were created using AI image generation tools. All generated images were curated, edited, and refined by the developer to produce the final in-game assets. No AI content is generated in real time during gameplay.
Some in-game assets, including textures / background art / sound effects / narrative texts, were created with the help of generative AI tools during development. All AI-generated content has been reviewed and manually adjusted to ensure it meets the game's quality standards and does not contain any infringing or inappropriate material.
Character portraits and story illustrations received an AI enhancement pass based on the original hand-painted artwork. Each image was then refined with a manual hand-drawn pass.
Generative AI tools were utilized during the development process to assist in the creation of certain in-game art assets. Specifically, this includes character portraits, environmental backgrounds, item icons, and foundational visual elements for some of the user interfaces. All initial AI-generated materials have undergone rigorous manual review, selection, and post-production refinement by the developer, ensuring they contain no inappropriate or policy-violating content. The game does not feature any content generated by real-time AI computation.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence to create portions of its GDScript code, Steam store promotional graphics, character designs, skills, in‑game items, environment maps, sound effects, background audio, and various dynamic content. All AI‑generated content is manually reviewed and adjusted before release to ensure quality, consistency, and safety, and many AI outputs undergo significant hand‑editing.
During game development, some NPC dialogue was first refined and translated using generative AI, after which filtering and moderation mechanisms were applied to ensure the dialogue remained safe, appropriate, and consistent with the game’s world. No unreviewed real‑time AI output is used in the game.
This game uses generative AI to produce certain content, and all AI outputs are subject to human review and filtering to ensure compliance with Steam’s guidelines and the game’s content standards. No unauthorized copyrighted material is included.
Generative AI tools were used during the development of certain visual and promotional assets for this game. All final content was reviewed and curated by the developer.
Generative AI is used during development to assist with some character portraits, 3D environment assets, UI elements, narrative polish, and initial localization drafts.
AI-assisted visual content is based on concepts and art direction created by our team and is reviewed, edited, and refined before use. Localization will be reviewed and finalized by a professional localization provider.
We use AI-assisted tools in parts of our development process to assist with content creation, improve productivity, and streamline routine tasks so our team has more time for creative work. Where we use these tools, the work is directed, reviewed, and finalized by our team.
We have utilized open-source, self-hosted AI tools for our localization process to make the game available to as many players as possible. Additionally, local AI tooling was used during development to assist with codebase navigation and a single instance of asset recovery for a lost legacy logo. No proprietary or cloud-based AI services were used.
SPECTRENDS currently uses generative artificial intelligence for some placeholder visuals and promotional assets during development.
These AI-generated assets are temporary and will be fully replaced with original, hand-crafted art before the game's full release.
The final version of the game will not use generative AI for any assets.
This game is developed using the commercial engine RPG Bakin. The core game logic, systems, and all promotional videos are 100% handcrafted and created without the use of any AI tools.
To enhance the overall experience of this indie project, generative AI tools were utilized to assist in specific asset creation, video sequences, and localization:
Pre-rendered Content & Video Sequences:
The introductory cinematic video showcasing the game’s backstory was generated with the assistance of AI and manually edited.
The short animations for the item forging and dismantling systems were generated using AI and manually refined.
Some 2D character portraits, equipment icons (initial concepts), and background music (BGM) were generated with the assistance of AI and subsequently polished.
Character Voiceovers: The Japanese battle voice lines for characters were created using modern AI voice generation tools.
Language & Localization: The English translation and localization of the game's scripts and dialogues were assisted by AI translation tools.
We ensure that all AI-assisted processes and content comply with legal standards, aiming to deliver an authentic wuxia RPG experience with rich audio-visuals and smooth language accessibility for players worldwide.
Some visual assets in OMNICORIUM were generated using AI tools, either directly during development or sourced from third-party creators who used AI-assisted generation.
AI is used exclusively for selected visual assets. It is not used for gameplay systems, player interactions, procedural mechanics, or dynamic content generation.
Some art assets are generative and some are not. Many assets were purchased and then updated with generative AI in order to look different from the original purchased assets. We would love to change these out for custom art if the game does well.
Some visual assets in Demon Ark: Idle RPG were created with the assistance of generative AI, including monster artwork, item and equipment icons, background images, and Steam store marketing assets such as capsule images and logo artwork. Unit character graphics and UI assets were produced separately as non-AI commissioned/manual artwork. All AI-assisted assets are reviewed, selected, and edited before being included in the game or store page. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while running.
The game uses generative AI solely for the creation of certain visual and text assets.
AI does not affect gameplay, player behavior, or core game mechanics.
Translations and text content are AI-generated. Some of the UI and game backgrounds are AI generated with manual post-processing. Some of the VFX for the animations are AI generated with post-processing.
