Where do games disclose AI use?

Morvyn Gutter utilizes AI technology for texture generation and music composition in certain parts of the game.

NOTES: This work was set up in September 2022. For the purpose of conducting academic research on emerging technologies, AI image generation technology (which was still in its early stages of development at the time) was used to assist in processing the visual effects of some content, and an AI music generation tool was used to create the background music. In order to avoid the abuse of artificial intelligence generation tools, only the default data sets provided by AI tools are used during the development process. All usage methods include: 1. Process the real photos to create "alien" and "distorted" effects; 2. With the "abstract image generated based on the provided keywords", manually perform secondary design, reconstruction, and drawing; 3. Generate music clips that fit the atmosphere by adjusting parameters such as musical instruments used and pace, then perform secondary editing to them. All contents involving artificial intelligence were completed before 2023. After that, AI image generation technology has been completely stopped, no longer and will no longer continue to be used for development. For all AI-generated image assets utilized in the work, this work only reserves the right to use.

Some images are generated using AI

I use generative AI to create capsule images (main banners, headers, and other store assets) for our Steam store page.

Players can create textures using text prompts, and apply those textures to virtual clothing templates. Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game assets.

In the game, artificial intelligence is used only in a few aspects, specifically for generating voice acting and music. All the music featured in the game, as well as the voice acting for characters, is entirely created using AI technologies.

We would like to clarify that some of the artistic assets used in our game were created with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. These elements were carefully selected and refined by our team to ensure they align with the visual identity and experience we aim to deliver to players. Our goal in using AI was to complement our creative process and bring an innovative approach to the game's visuals, always under the artistic supervision of our team to maintain consistency and product quality

Communication with the ghost is carried out using artificial intelligence. Generative artificial intelligence is partly used for creation of the game key-art on the Store Page.

In "Lone Howl", artificial intelligence is utilised carefully and responsibly to enhance the player's experience in various aspects of the game: Images and Banners: We have used AI beforehand to create some of the banners and loading screen images you will encounter throughout the game. This allows us to generate unique visuals that capture the dark and mystical atmosphere of the "Lone Howl" universe. It’s important to note that these images were generated prior to release and do not involve any adaptation or analysis based on player behaviour. Translations: AI is also employed to assist with the translation of the game into different languages, ensuring that the narrative and dialogues maintain their essence and fluency, regardless of the language in which the game is played. Dialogue and Voices: Some of the characters' dialogue and voices were generated or enhanced using AI. This allowed us to bring characters and creatures to life with a vocal diversity that enriches the player's immersion. It’s important to highlight that we do not use algorithms that study or analyse players. All AI use in "Lone Howl" is applied statically, with the goal of complementing the experience without compromising privacy or the authenticity of the content.

Many images that take place in game, representing towns and cities were created with the help of artificial intelligence. Generated pieces were not directly taken place in game but used advisory/recommendation manner (eg. to illustrate how a North West city looks in 1940s).

AI-generated images are used for the textures of some 3D models.

This game utilizes generative artificial intelligence for refining the game scenario.

Artificial intelligence was used to generate some images in the game and also within the game code.

Er zijn enkele afbeeldingen/elementen visueel gegenereerd

AI was used for generating localization text and for the coding of the game.

Our game uses AI-generated images in the in-game menu background design and game logo and title image designs.

Various assets were created by or edited by AI tools. This includes; models, textures, sound effects, voices, UI, and narrative elements.

The character voices used in the game were generated by artificial intelligence.

Some AI generated in-game Images Included

Only a small number of placeholder sound effects, assets, and promotional illustrations are used in the game. They will be gradually replaced with original handmade content not generated by AI. All core assets of the game are handmade.

Game contains pre-made AI-generated art assets like 3D Models, textures, images, pictures. Science fiction building, vehicles, characters, equipment, items.

AI was used during development to do spelling correction, translation and to generate some elements of scenery.

In the development of our game, we incorporated AI tools to enhance various aspects of the creative process. Our game uses generative models for creating and editing images, sound mixing, and text translation. These AI tools were utilized to improve quality and efficiency, allowing the development team to concentrate on crafting the narrative, gameplay, and overall design. The AI played a supportive role, assisting with technical tasks while the core vision and creative direction were driven by the team.

Generative Artificial Intelligence has been partially used to produce the promo art of the game (i.e. the image used to promote the game). The in-game content has been produced from scratch by 3D artists, game designers and developers. Only some audio content (i.e. the voice of the robot) has been prerecorded by using AI generative tools.

AI is used to generate NPC dialogue and behavior.

Some art assets and code has been made using AI

We used ai generated contents just for capsule images.

Used to create landscapes

The game uses a small amount of AI-generated textures, materials as assets.

All main character illustrations and story CGs in the game are hand-drawn by artists. Some background images use free AI-generated background assets licensed for commercial use. In addition, AI was used as a supplementary reference during the creation of certain scene assets.

I use Ai to aid in a variety of topics such as 2D artwork such as UI elements as well as help with ques and dialog ideas. Music is also designed by Ai.

Some images are generated using AI and then processed using PS

An AI tool was used to translate texts in the game and on the Steam store page.

AI used in generation of content for Store Page

The characters and promotional images were generated using AI

The game and the store page use AI-generated images and meshes.

Some promotional images for store interfaces and library assets, as well as some icons and item models in the game, are generated by AI.

Background textures have been designed with AI

Using AI to generate some pictures, after all, the studio has no artist for the time being

This game uses AI to only give pre-generated voice to the characters.

AI was used to create concept arts.

Some assets on the Steam page were created using AI

Echoes Below uses AI-generated voiceovers as temporary placeholders for character dialogues. These will be replaced with professionally recorded voice acting during development.

AI was used to generate voicelines.

Services claiming copyright protection/indemnification: None. I do not use any third-party copyright filtering, detection, or indemnification service; the optional local assistant is offline and restricted to in-game data only.

As placeholder voiced narrative, this game uses a Unity Asset Store asset which uses a database of non-copyrighted human voices to generate character voices.

AI has been used in a limited way* for the following aspects: Text Localization, Speech Localization and Musical Audio. *The base was AI-generated, but the transformative creation built upon it stands as an original work. (Text was controlled by a human, the voice and musical audio were edited and reworked by a human)

The game leverages AI as a tool to assist in sketching and creating certain prop illustrations.
