Where do games disclose AI use?

AI was used as a coding assistant and for assistance with sprite animation. However none of the art was fully generated by AI. All art, be it music or drawn, was originally created by myself, the sole developer, or from open source creators.

All of the game's code was generated using generative AI, and no code was manually written by the developer. The gameplay, levels, balancing, controls, and overall player experience were entirely designed, directed, tested, and ultimately approved by a human creator.

This game uses a custom-built local AI language model running entirely on the player's machine via the proprietary GROLAF3D ENGINE. The AI generates all dialogue, actions, and narrative responses from the kidnapper character in real time during gameplay. No internet connection is required and no player input is transmitted to external servers. The AI also powers an optional voice synthesis system for spoken responses. All AI-generated content is produced live based on player input and is unique to each session.

The Steam store page banners and promotional creatives for the app were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. The in-game assets were either created manually or edited afterwards, but the visual materials used for marketing (such as header images, capsules, and promotional banners) include AI-generated elements.

The art assets and promotional images were created with AI assistance, but all of them were manually reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer.

This game was made with the help of generative AI. AI tools assisted in various parts of development, including code, art, and music.

AI Disclosure (Text Content): This game uses generative AI to assist in creating in-game text descriptions, specifically for: Game Concepts & Descriptions: Some fictional game ideas and descriptions within the simulation are pre-generated using AI text models. Manual Oversight: All AI-generated text has been manually reviewed and edited by the developer to ensure it contains no prohibited content and aligns with the game's creative direction. No real-time AI generation occurs during gameplay.

Some parts of this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, including certain visual assets, sounds, and code. All AI-generated content has been reviewed and modified by the developer to ensure quality and consistency.

AI tools were used to accelerate game development and localization. No real-time AI generation during gameplay. The game contains a humorous nod to AI culture inspired by the development process.

The Enemy Bots and Turrets are A.I. Powered.

Environment icon assets, unused in the final game.

Generative AI was used to create a few very specific, minor promotional images and texture enhancements. Everything else; including plane textures, sprites, UI, and airport layouts, was entirely hand crafted by a single human developer using free editing tools like GIMP, Canva, PowerPoint, and MSPaint.

AI tools were used during development to help generate select visual assets and concepts. These assets were reviewed, refined, and integrated into the game by the developer to ensure consistency with the overall style and experience.

Empetiti: Quest for the Pinnacle uses generative AI as part of the production pipeline for selected images and voice-over/audio assets appearing in the game and some promotional materials. These assets are reviewed and refined by the development team before being published. The game does not use live-generated AI during gameplay. THE GAME IS CONSTANTLY BEING REWORKED TO FURTHER MINIMISE THE USE OF AI-GENERATED IMAGES AND VOICES.

Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of certain pre-rendered store assets and promotional images for the Steam store page. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not rely on live AI-generated content.

The app background image was AI generated

Generative AI was used in the making of the main menu artwork. No other generative AI is used in the game.

Some elements of the game were created by SI.

Some visual assets and artwork in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and then curated, edited, and integrated by the developer. All final content has been reviewed and adjusted to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance with Steam guidelines.

Some store artwork images were created using AI tools.

This game uses pre-generated AI-assisted artwork for fictional wrestling logos and selected Steam store/marketing assets. These assets were created as fictional branding for the game and reviewed/edited by the developer before use. The game does not use live generative AI during gameplay.

AI tools were used in a supporting role during the development of this game. Specifically, AI was used to assist with parts of the localization process, the creation of some UI concepts and UI elements, and coding support such as drafting and organizing code. All final review, editing, implementation, and quality control were performed by the developer.

Some sprite artwork in this game was created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development.

Sector Scavengers was built almost 100% using AI agents and tools. Makko.ai created the game art, animations, and game code/logic, and the trailers were made with a combination of Grok and 11 Labs.

This game comes with a small local running language model to generate fish dialogue. No internet connection / API Keys required.

Building a game of this scale as a solo indie developer is a gigantic quest. To bring this vision to life, I utilized AI to help manage the immense development load. I have used AI to help create placeholder assets as visual guides to get the final look and feel, some initial base assets that have since been modified to be game-ready, and, in some rare cases, game elements that did not require further polishing. I have worked hard to ensure the overall quality is as high as possible, given the limitations with funding, personnel and time. What wasn't made with AI: The core game design, idea and execution. Some of the game code, performance optimizations, final polishing, and most final assets. Additionally, some of the development tools, such as the terrain optimizer/generator, targeting, turret, and explosion systems, have been under development as personal hobby projects for nearly a decade. The game was completely visualized, balanced, play tested, and designed by people (the fun part). What is heavily AI-generated: Audio: The audio concepts and prompts were written by me, generated using AI algorithms, and then manually polished where needed. Real human work was required to orchestrate, mix, time, and fit these audio clips seamlessly into the game. Some textures: In a few rare cases, a generated texture was used "as-is" and did not require any additional post-processing or optimization of any kind (excluding cropping or some basic photoshopping).

The translations of this game into other languages were created using generative AI tools and reviewed by the development team.

Some visual assets such as fictional product packaging, posters, decorative graphics, icons and marketing materials were created with the help of generative AI and then reviewed/edited before being included in the game.
