During development we used generative AI tools to create some content that ships in the game:
- Visual art: Some 2D art (card illustrations, store/capsule art, boss and deity illustrations, UI seals, and marketing images) was generated with an image model, then hand-edited, composited, and curated by us.
- Music: The looping background music tracks were generated with an AI music tool, then edited and mastered (trimmed and crossfade-looped) by us before inclusion.
- Text / localization: Some in-game text and its translations (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English) were produced with AI assistance and then reviewed and edited by us.
All AI-generated content was reviewed by a human before shipping.
We have confirmed our right to use these tools' output commercially, and have taken steps to ensure the content does not infringe third-party IP.
The masterpieces featured in this game are real public-domain paintings, digitized from high-resolution scans. They are not AI-generated.
Generative AI was used only in the following areas: some artwork other than the masterpieces (UI, characters, backgrounds), some sound, and localization.
Although AI tools were used during the making of this game for efficiency, we have put our love, care, and effort into every part of it so players can experience the game as intended.
AI was used only as a support tool where helpful, and its use was kept minimal. All creative decisions, final content, and gameplay direction were reviewed and shaped by the developer to make sure nothing takes away from the intended player experience.
In-Game Text Creation and Translation: We use AI to create and translate text for in-game content and store descriptions.
Program Code Generation: We use AI to create and optimize the programming code that implements the game’s features and systems.
Sound Effect Generation: We use AI to generate sound effects used in the game.
AI was used to generate background images, music, and audio.
Converting player drawings into AI renderings is optional and requires the host to have a Gemini API key.
AI tools were used to create pre-rendered assets during development, including background illustrations, item images, some video cutscenes, and background music. All AI-generated content was curated, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate any content at runtime (no live-generated AI content).
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating some concept art, graphical assets, and text for the game and its Steam store page. All generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in creating certain visual assets, dialogue drafts, event text, and marketing artwork. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not use live-generated AI content during gameplay.
AI was used to translate the game into certain languages. When selecting one of these languages for the first time, a notification appears. Additionally, a marker is displayed next to the language name in the options menu.
Furthermore, AI was utilized to generate some of the graphical assets and may have been used in the creation of videos.
Many of the art assets used at this stage are AI-generated placeholders, including most of the card artwork. These AI assets help depict the overall creative style and vision that will be achieved in the full release. A Kickstarter campaign will be dedicated to raising the funds to replace the AI placeholder art.
All of the sound design, music, text and game code is entirely human-created.
Some illustrations and background art were pre-generated using AI image tools, then manually curated, edited, and tone-matched by the developer. All game text, game design, and code are human-authored. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
This game uses pre-generated generative AI content to assist with select 2D artwork, UI elements, and/or marketing materials. This content was reviewed and, where necessary, edited by the developer. No content is generated live by AI during gameplay.
1. Some character art utilizes hand-drawn original sketches and designs, with AI used for coloring and lighting effects.
2. Background illustrations are AI-generated and then manually refined.
3. The script is AI-generated, with manual editing and content additions.
4. For languages other than Traditional Chinese, AI translation is used, followed by manual proofreading of terminology and content.
Some visual assets in this game — including dice textures, character portraits, scene backgrounds, and select UI decorative elements — were created with the assistance of generative AI, then manually curated, retouched, and color-graded before integration. All AI-generated content is pre-rendered static art; the game does not use real-time generation.
This game uses AI assistance as a support tool for efficient development.
Scope of AI Use
- Assistance with programming and code implementation
- Drafting and style adjustment for English localization
- Drafting and editing of some in-game text, including Observation Records in the Anomaly Codex, command reaction text, countermeasure procedures, and other text related to gameplay explanations and strategy
- Drafting, editing, and proofreading of general text such as social media announcements, descriptions, and notices
Scope Where AI Is Not Used
Character images, Anomaly images, background images, Steam capsule images, audio, and BGM are created by the developer or use licensed distributed assets.
No AI-generated assets are used for these materials.
Content Created and Managed by the Developer
The story, worldbuilding, characters, basic Anomaly concepts, and the folklore and supplementary materials related to the Anomalies are independently created by the developer.
Game design and various specifications are also determined by the developer.
For any content created with AI assistance, the final decision on whether to use the text, as well as quality control, is handled by the developer.
This game uses generative AI ONLY to assist with translations for some supported languages.
Gameplay, puzzles, artwork, characters, and game design are created by the development team.
Parts of development (coding assistance) and the store/marketing page's text and graphics were created using AI-assisted tools (including Anthropic Claude). In-game graphics and audio come from licensed asset packs or were assembled manually; no content is generated by AI at runtime within the game.
This game utilized AI tools during the development process, primarily to assist in generating character portraits. All AI-generated assets were reviewed and curated by the development team before being implemented into the game.
Some pre-rendered visual artwork, store page imagery, and sound effects were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then selected, edited, layered, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use live generative AI during gameplay.
I have updated the AI Content Survey to better reflect the content used in the game.
Some background images were created with the assistance of generative AI. A small number of player card artworks were also created using generative AI, but the majority of the cards were created without AI-generated artwork. Additionally, some promotional/store images contain AI-generated elements, while many others do not.
The AI-generated content is limited to certain visual assets and does not affect gameplay or game logic.
AI was used as a creative tool for:
Generating and refining background art (later curated by our artists)
Creating early atmospheric textures for the soundtrack (finished by human composers)
All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by the team to ensure quality and consistency.
As a solo independent project, generative AI tools were used as a foundation for the initial creation of visual and audio assets. Please note that every asset has been systematically retouched, edited, and hand-refined to ensure unique artistic consistency and to bring the raw vision of First Faiths to life.
Some of this game's images and artwork, its background music, and parts of its translated text were created with the help of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developer before being included. The Sudoku puzzles themselves are generated by traditional (non-AI) algorithms, and no content is generated by AI while you play.
ransparency Regarding AI Usage:
We believe in being open with our community. To create a richer world, some of the music and text content in this game were generated using AI. Our development team also utilized AI coding assistants to help accelerate the development process. We understand the community's perspective on AI, and please be assured that all AI-generated assets have been strictly reviewed and refined by our human team. Thank you for your support and understanding!

AI-assisted tools were used during development to help create certain cinematic images, visual effects, music, and localization content. Some cinematic sequences incorporate AI-generated imagery or AI-assisted animation techniques.
The majority of the game’s artwork, environments, gameplay content, puzzle design, story content, and overall development were created by hand by the development team. Some music was also created by human collaborators.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some background art elements and early drafts of certain dialogue. All generated content was substantially modified, edited, and integrated into the final game by the developer.
Most of the game's artwork was created by commissioned artists. A small number of outsourced illustrations are currently under review, so the game has been disclosed as containing AI-generated artwork.
Some of the content in AquaDucked! was created with the help of generative AI tools:
- Some background music was created using AI music-generation tools.
- The blurred background images behind each theme were created or refined with AI tools.
- Portions of the store page and marketing text were drafted with AI assistance.
The core game art — the ducks, tools, and objects you play with — is either original, hand-painted watercolor, or photo-generated, not AI-generated.
All AI-generated content is pre-generated during development. AquaDucked! does not generate any content live during gameplay and does not connect to any external AI services while you play. We've made commercially reasonable efforts to ensure this content is appropriate and does not infringe on the rights of others.
This application uses AI tools in parts of its development process, including creating the in-character dialogue text and some artwork (such as character part images), as well as tuning behavioral algorithms. All AI-generated assets are produced and reviewed in advance and built into the product; no generative AI runs during gameplay.
All character and unit art is hand-drawn; audio and music contain no AI. Some background art and UI icons were made with help from generative AI tools and then edited by the developer. AI also assists translation, with every translation human-reviewed before release.
Ashen Crown was built almost entirely with the help of generative AI. The game's code was written through conversation with an AI assistant (Claude), with me directing, correcting, testing, and deciding what the game should be. All in-game visuals are drawn in code rather than created by an artist, and the sound and music were generated with AI as well. No third-party art, audio, or text assets were used. AI was a tool throughout development; the design, direction, and final decisions are mine.
