Where do games disclose AI use?

Images have been generated for marketing , steam community items, storepage and in game menu images. Voice has also been generated

AI-generated art objects

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

- 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.

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.

Marketing assets includes images that are AI generated

Steam store page description corrections

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.

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.

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.

The game tutorial uses optional AI generated voiceover.

Generation of some images and textures. Additional generation of locations (grass, rocks, vegetation). Rough text processing and translations into other languages.

This game features voice-over content partially created through AI voice generation tools.

Pictures in the gallery and voice acting generated

We use Gen AI to generate the voice over lines used by our avatars in game.

All AI content is placeholder assets until the full release. This includes: Spoken dialog (rendered via Eleven Labs), and some story-related images (generated with Midjourney). The vocals will be recorded by voice actors once the script is completely finalized, and any art will be redone by human artists before the 1.0 release.

We use a AI voices for the radio messages, some icons and sound effects.

This project did not use tools to create content from text prompts. Because "Generative Artificial Intelligence" is inconcistently defined, following it the list all Machine Learning technologies I use. Many of them are widely used and not commonly considered AI, but meet the current dictionary definition of "computer system that has some qualities of human brain that is able to produce text, images, etc.", so I list them for full transparency: - Generating crew portraits with artist-driven sliders for facial features. - Creating portrait depth maps for dynamic lighting. - Upscaling promotional images. - Denoising rendered images. - Enhancing in-game ads with actor face replacement for realism. - Spell-checking, grammar-checking and rephrasing some text.

Our team utilizes AI in a variety of ways to improve the quality of our game. Here are a few examples of how our team incorporates AI into our development process: 1. We use AI to translate dialogue, subtitles, and (more infrequently) music into a variety of different languages spoken by players of our game. This allows more players from different regions to enjoy playing Operation: Harsh Doorstop in their own language, and helps us reach more players throughout the world. 2. We utilize machine learning to help train our NPC bots, giving non-player characters more realistic and adaptive behavior on the battlefield. 3. We utilize AI to assist with finding bugs and other issues in the game, which our developers can then diagnose and fix. We currently work with the RevoltGPT team to help us incorporate AI into our development workflows. If you're interested in learning more, you can visit their website at https://rvt.dev

Generative AI has been critical for the development of this game and is infact a part of it's lore as well. Generative AI assisted us in producing pre-renders for our backgrounds and complimenting the high quality of our human made animations, the backgrounds of this game wouldn't have looked as beautiful as it does nor even possible had BOS released before generative AI existed. In simple: The game uses AI generated images for the backgrounds of different regions.

In Ashes of Mankind, we utilize AI-generated voiceovers to bring life to key in-game characters, such as GRIM and E.M.A. These entities serve as guides and narrators within the battlefield, known as The Citadel. Their unique personalities and lore were crafted by our team, with their voices pre-rendered using AI during development. Importantly, this use of AI is not generated live during gameplay, and there is no intention to impersonate real individuals or infringe upon existing copyrights. These AI-generated voices are carefully designed to enhance immersion while respecting all applicable guidelines. We remain committed to creating an engaging and authentic experience while ensuring transparency and compliance with Steam's policies.

We are a small indie team and as our game includes close to 200 characters you can interact with, we have used Midjourney to produce their portraits for the Early Access release of the game. Depending on feedback we may revisit this at a later stage.

Pre-rendered AI generated voices may be used for NPCs in a few missions.
