Where do games disclose AI use?

Temporary Artworks and Music

DarkSwarm is built by hand, by talented individuals — but we may have used generative AI, among other tools, to visualize ideas during the concept phase, helping us deliver the best possible game experience. In that sense, it has supported the creation of certain environmental assets, images, and props. It's one of many tools in our creative toolbox and is always used alongside handcrafted work.

We are experimentally using generated AI as a reference for some background materials or for textures.

In the development of this title, generative AI has been used in the following areas: - Reference images for background graphics - Programming assistance - Translation assistance

Some textures contain AI generated imagery

We generated drafts for the game's and company logos, part of the capsules art, the voice in the trailer and the store texts. Then we adapted them to our liking.

Generative AI has been used in the trailer images, the store page images, and the in-game UI images.

Text-to-speech software is used to synthesize our in-game and in-cinematic robotic announcer. RIFTSTORM’s creative direction and all content included in the game are produced, reviewed, and implemented by our team.

Game does NOT include any AI-generated content. AI generation used for some promo-materials images.

Some loading screens and main menu screen use ai generated images

Game art

AI was used to generate the images in the game. I'm a solo developer. I can't afford to hire artists, and I depend on this income to pay the rent and buy food. Please be considerate. I hope you enjoy the game.

The comic intro is AI generated

Our skyboxes are AI generated.

This game is the handcrafted work of a solo indie developer and artist. During the development process, generative tools were used as supportive instruments within the creative workflow for specific assets. The final game experience fully reflects the developer’s original creative vision and craftsmanship.

I used Ai to help us with logo's and store front images. We do not use any AI in game or any assistance to program.

AI will be used to create more languages as I am only fluent in two languages.

The Store Page Art Utilizes A.I. generated art to depict the game's premise and content.

Additional images for merchants, difficulties and skills.

The background of the capsule image on the store page was drawn by an artist, but then stylized using AI.

AI usage for Coding, Voiceacting, Localization and Graphical Assets made this solo project possible.

Basic, limited AI use in one of the promotional art assets.

Some voice-over lines are AI generated.

We use generative AI to create pre-rendered character images as a starting point, which are then meticulously refined and enhanced using image editing tools. The final assets combine the creative touch of digital hand-drawing with generative AI, resulting in high-quality, polished visuals.

AI was used in the creation of the cover art for the steam page, but that's the only use of AI for any part of the game.

We use AI for creating some of the promotional images, and very small percentage of 2D art.

Certain item and monster icon images

In the theme music NEUTRINO, a singing synthesizer with a singing voice generation AI, is used. It is a rights-clean freeware released in 2020. I am also a fan of this excellent software and encourage anyone interested to try it out!

AI used for some level art

As an indie developer, we use AI tools for translating the game, generating some textures, and for audio-related tasks, such as creating sound files and voice recordings.

Generative AI is used in this game to assist with localization, helping to translate in-game text into multiple languages efficiently

- Part of our English voice cast is created by using AI to modify the live actors' voices. - Several of our in-game Radio stations feature music generated with AI .

Time Shock is hand-built by a solo developer. The design, gameplay, levels, writing, and world are all made by hand. AI tools play a limited supporting role only — used to tweak character voices, assist and refine artwork, and add lip-sync to dialogue. Everything is reviewed and finished by hand before it ships.

Some minor polish such as wording refinement and UI icons were assisted using AI tools. All 3D models, animations, gameplay systems, UI implementation, sound and visual effects, and narrative were created entirely in-house.

Some background and terrain texture images in the game were generated using AI and may have been manually edited. The courses in this game are procedurally generated using (traditional) algorithms, not on AI-based methods."

This game uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help optimize code and improve development efficiency and runtime performance. Additionally, character voices in the game were recorded by the developer himself. The voice was then synthesised by AI to create different character voices. These technologies enhance the overall quality and experience of the game.

Borrowhelen uses AI only for generating and synthesizing character voices and for checking typos. All other content (graphics, music, levels, etc.) is 100% human-made.

Graphic

Some artwork is AI-generated

UPDATE: over 90% of the AI-generated content was removed! Some of the 2D art and music in The Classrooms were originally created with the help of AI tools, not as a replacement for artists, but to get the uncanny, slightly "off" look of AI-generated content. This was intentional, as it reflects the kind of strange content the Superstructure itself would make. Our goal has always been to evoke that uneasy and almost-familiar feeling. To build on this while moving away from AI, we are now trying approaches like fan art contests to gradually replace this content, while still preserving this unique aesthetic. For video and music production, we plan to collaborate with real people, though budget and scheduling mean this will take time.

- AI voice changer applied to some voice acting. - Some in game posters.

Some images in the middle of map loading are retouched using AI to improve their appearance, artistic retouching of some images for advertising, original images (screenshots) were used and retouched to make them more striking.

Certain voice-overs for the in-game AI companion were produced with the help of generative AI for DLC.

Some promotional artwork is partially generated using A.I.

I use AI Generated images for the loading screens, for the modification card icons, and for some textures.

Texture Upscaling.

We use AI to proof read and sometimes write or edit the Lore texts in our game

The Logo art was created with A.I tools.

The game includes AI-generated images used as visual assets. Specifically, AI-generated content is utilized for stage backgrounds, cutscene backgrounds, character illustrations, and certain in-game icons.

We employ generative AI during the creation of some art assets. Usually, this will be to create basic images reference, that are then modified by hand. All generated content is reviewed and modified by the artist, and it remains a minor part of the total expression created by the artist.
