We have integrated various AI tools to enhance different aspects of the experience:
ChatGPT has been utilized to make in-game bots smarter, improving their responsiveness and creating more engaging AI interactions for players.
Perplexity AI assisted us with certain coding tasks, helping us optimize and refine complex systems efficiently.
Rosebud AI was used to generate high-quality skyboxes, enhancing the visual depth and atmosphere of our environments, ensuring an immersive experience.
By leveraging these AI-driven solutions, we've streamlined development while maintaining high-quality visuals, smarter AI, and optimized performance.
We make use of co-pilot for code checking. We also make use of various tools during development for UV-wrapping & animation. We will use our own in-house proprietary mini-LLM that is packaged within the game to generate some parts of the dialogue.
Our graphical novel game features visually captivating art brought to life with the help of AI-powered tools. By combining the creativity of our team with advanced AI technology, we've crafted rich, immersive environments and expressive character designs that enhance the storytelling experience. Dive into a world where art and innovation meet, creating a unique visual journey for players. Additionally, the AI technologies utilized in the game are credited.
Yes, some of the visuals (backgrounds) in our game are prepared with AI. Other than that, the remaining cards, buttons and environmental elements are assets we prepared ourselves.
This game uses generative AI tools in the creation of certain assets:
Some character and environment art assets were generated using developer-trained AI models;
Some ambient background music (non-vocal) was generated using commercially available AI models with proper commercial licenses;
In addition, the Steam store capsule image was also generated with the help of AI tools.
All AI-generated content is static, manually reviewed and edited by the developer prior to release, and does not involve any post-release dynamic generation.
AI was used to help create a portion of the art for the game that is difficult and time consuming starting from nothing. This art is of some of the characters and objects in the game that had their rough form generated using google Gemini. All of the AI images generated were modified to match my game's world, and were made to be distinct and original from any other creative works. for example, one of the characters has an image of a beetle shell placed over his face among other artistic design changes to the original AI generated body.
I'm using AI to generate the store capsule image, running the AI locally on my PC. The image does not violate any copyrights and accurately represents content from my game.
Artificial intelligence was used to create a few visual elements, such as the logo, the loading screen background, and the Steam store banners. No other aspects of the game or live-generated content rely on AI. These elements aim to enhance the game's visual appeal and its presentation on Steam without affecting gameplay.
Artificial intelligence is used to enhance various aspects of development. AI is primarily used for rapid prototyping. We also use AI for text generation and translation, ensuring that our narratives are compelling and accessible to a global audience. Additionally, AI-driven upscaling techniques help us improve the quality and visuals of our game assets, providing players with an immersive and high-fidelity experience.
This game uses AI language models to help refine certain quests with a tone that matches the game's narrative universe and to provide accurate translations for languages we don't speak natively. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and approved by the development team before being included in the game.
AI tools were utilized to create various visual elements for the game, including character portraits, the world map, and segments featured in the game's introductory sequence.
The game uses generative AI to create certain character portrait images. These portraits are produced through a directed process involving manual adjustment of predefined parameters related to facial features and lighting. Selected portraits are pre-rendered, curated, and fixed at development time.
No content is generated dynamically during gameplay.
In the early stage of game design, AI tools are used to generate the first draft of the picture (such as scene composition, character outline, etc.), which is only used for internal creative reference. All the pictures used in the later stage are hand-painted by professional painters. In the end, there is no visual material generated by AI in the game.
As a game that serves as a commentary on AI, several images used in the game were generated by AI to serve as illustrative examples of the kind of output that AI produces.
The game utilizes AI to generate human personalities and dialogue for you to interrogate and pick apart when making your decision to execute or release.
We utilized AI tools to generate internal references for composition and framing. These outputs were then used as a base to manually create handcrafted pixel art assets, ensuring all final in-game visuals follow our custom palettes and artistic standards.
AI has been utilized in our game to add an extra layer of immersion. We've used AI-generated static background images to create captivating atmospheres within the game world. Additionally, AI-driven voice synthesis brings some of our characters to life, giving them unique and expressive voices. This use of AI contributes to a more engaging and dynamic experience for players.
Some in-game or store assets might be produced through processes involving the use of AI filters or AI generated elements merged with other sources. Whenever using a generative AI, we exclusively use private models trained with licensed sets of data.
All of the images in this game are generated by neural networks trained on images (aka “AI generated”). If you choose to boycott all AI generated material, please do not buy this game. If you are uncomfortable with the thought but are interested in my game, please read on.
The aesthetic of this game had to come from the strange, uncanny look of AI. There is a heartlessness to the visuals that is intentional. I am not trying to copy the look of other artists. The only tool capable of producing the look I was going for was a malfunctioning AI. Ironically, I have had a number of people tell me that it looks much more realistic than standard AI. I am assuming this is because of how I tried to reproduce the look of old media.
All images, aside from the title screen, credits and some of the video shot on camcorder were generated by AI prompts. It took several days of exploring before I began generating images that fit the aesthetic I was looking for. I have heard AI described as a slot machine, and I think the metaphor is somewhat accurate. I think of this as similar to indeterminacy in music. Using random number generators can produce interesting outputs, but you need to refine and direct the system to do so.
I started my process in Midjourney. My ratio of usable images was around 100 to 1; for every 100 images I generated, I found one usable piece for the game. I created an automated process to transform these images to 16:9 widescreen in Photoshop Beta. Some of these images I touched up manually or regenerated sections of the image. There are some real images and hand painted imagery within the AI elements. Often, I would have to generate the sides of the image multiple times because photoshop didn’t generate what I needed.
To those concerned about not paying artists: I understand this, but I want to be clear that this was not created to replace the work of artists, any more than the synthesized scores to horror films were about replacing orchestras. These are tools that do different things. Rather than some sort of lazy shortcut, the use of AI imagery is essential to the aesthetic and narrative of the Path of Veins.
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.
This game does not use generative AI to create live gameplay content or code.
However, during development and marketing, certain assets were created or assisted using AI tools:
Visual assets:
Some in-game artwork, UI elements (including icons, buttons, and portraits), as well as promotional visuals used on the Steam store page were initially generated or assisted using AI image generation tools.
In addition, achievement icons were created with the help of AI and later manually refined and finalized by the developer to ensure consistency with the game’s artistic direction.
Localizations:
All translations (except Russian and Ukrainian) were produced using AI-powered translation services without human proofreading.
Audio assets:
A portion of the sound effects was generated or assisted using AI tools and then mixed, processed, and adjusted by the developer.
All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer to ensure it aligns with the game’s visual style, tone, and quality standards.
Almost the entirety of the content in this game is the product of human creativity. However this game does contain NPC portraits which are AI generated and then hand curated. The AI content is commercially licensed from the industries leading AI generation platforms.
