Where do games disclose AI use?

Image generation is used for in-game elements such as posters

Generative AI tools have been applied by development team in process of creation of parts of very limited in-game graphic assets and in certain marketing materials with considerable limitations and human overview and input at all times. All core game content has been carefully designed and curated by our team to ensure quality and originality.

Alle Sätze der Sprecher im Spiel sind mit einer Text to Speech Software KI generiert.

We used AI to create the game icon and background image for the main page. Also, we took inspiration from AI for some texts and dialogues.

Some translations are AI-generated.

This game contains works created by use of AI in the creation of dialogue audio for the characters. All AI generated content was created as original works by the developer.

We have utilized an AI program to help us generate music within the game and Steam Main Graphics for the game.

AI assistance was utilized in creating the loading screen images, some in-game painting images in Demonsomnia, and some images on the store page.

The game uses some AI generated and manually modified content only for paitings and photographs as well as for some of the text content (modified and reworded).

**Disclosure on Use of Generative AI in Development** *Lost Traces: False Awakening* and *Lost Traces: Genesis* are ambitious projects developed by a **small indie team**. To efficiently achieve the large scope and detail of the game's world, we made selective use of pre-generated tools during development. This approach was strictly limited to foundational elements which were then heavily refined by human artists and engineers: * **Character Designs (Images):** A portion of the initial character design concepts and visual elements (used on the store page and in-game) were informed by licensed image generation tools, such as **Stable Diffusion**. Every single piece of content has since been **manually edited, digitally painted, and extensively refined** by our artists to ensure unique visual identity and high quality. * **Voice Dialogue (Audio):** A portion of the in-game voice dialogue was generated using licensed text-to-speech or AI voice tools. This audio was subsequently run through **professional editing, mastering, and processing** to ensure vocal quality, pacing, and consistency across the game's soundscape. Our team maintains **full creative and artistic control** over all final assets. We did not use any AI tools to generate content *live* during gameplay.

During development, our team MAY use assistive AI design tools to support the creation of certain static visual graphic elements, such as logos, graphics, and UI. Any such materials are further refined and shaped by our artists to ensure they align with the creative direction and standards of Method of Entry. These tools allow us to maintain a high level of visual quality for the best experience possible from our small development team.

* Contents below are copied from the game, the soundtrack does not use any Generative AI technology. User will be able to talk in freeform with the NPCs within the game world according to the environment given to them. Some of the evidence (photos on the wall, book covers) have been created using AI tools

Artificial intelligence was used only for Store Photos, no content in the game was created or directed by artificial intelligence.

We used generative AI for: art on the store page, and some in-game textures. Each AI-generated content was then manually adjusted by our in-house artist to ensure the presence of human input in the art and high quality of the game.

The game contains portraits and images generated by AI.

There was AI image generation used for creating bases for some environment textures, those bases were heavily modified by hand to fit the game from the original texture spit out by AI.

Some object textures are AI generated to apparently look AI generated as a commentary, distorted and non human (dreamtexture plugin for Blender with prompts like "AI looking alien food" and such. Pictures of faces have been generated with this-person-does-not-exist.com to look like conventionnaly beautiful but generic portraits, again foreshadowing the idea what a person looks like, from an AI, algorithmically driven system.

The game's image assets, including store assets, are made with the use of AI.

The main menu background, textboxes, and some in-game assets contain AI generated images.

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)

As a small independent development team with limited resources, we used AI-based tools to assist with certain aspects of content creation, including textures, audio, and in-game video elements (such as VHS-style footage). All final content was carefully reviewed, refined, and manually reworked by the development team including additional re-texturing to ensure it reflects our creative vision.

Some minor details were created using AI image generation

Some dialogues feature AI-generated voices. Parts of the marketing assets - including store texts other than english or german- are modified / localized with AI.

Generative AI is used to assist in the development of some gameplay art assets.

The newspaper and voice actings are made with AI. Sample voice is my own voice.

Some parts of the images used in the Steam Storepage are AI generated.

AI is used for UI art

AI Imagery on storefront

The paintings and the voices are created with AI.

Some of the Marketing Materials and Images for The Trip are AI generated.

Some audio and music have been generated by IA.

AI-generated character illustrations.

Special mode voice.

Some visual assets, such as store capsule images and in-game card illustrations, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All gameplay and code are original.

AI was used to assist with voice modification for certain characters. AI was used to help with soundtrack enhancement and editing. AI was used to create or refine some visual symbols and sigil designs.

Some UI elements and icons have been made using AI.

Some 2D graphics on store page

Some character voices are AI generated.

Store page image assets (excluding screenshots and videos) has been generated with AI as the game will need to be further developed to get final assets but will fit the themes as presented.

We used AI generated contents just for steam capsule images.

Hand refined and adjusted Midjourney generations have been used for certain ingame graphics. (Optional)Deepvoice has been used for certain enemy vocal exclamations. Can be changed ingame to human VA only.

I Had A Plan! uses human-made sprites and assets, but uses AI to transform voices for most (non narrator/GM) characters. These were still recorded by the developer, but then transformed to sound like other people using AI. AI was also used to lip sync those voices.

In order to achieve better results, some characters, scenes, and animations in the game are generated using AI.

Some in-game posters were originally designed using AI-generated concepts to speed up the creative process. These visuals were then refined by our artist to fit the game's style. AI is not used during gameplay, and all content is curated by the development team.

Ai has been used, to create steam page image (not screenshots) only for Header.

I've created the sound tracks using AI.

We are using AI for testing content and ideas, our future focus is to make all of the content traditionally by hand to bring a good work like early stages of development in the game. AI usage is mainly used for concept content and support during the most complicated parts from the development of the game, the entirety of Ghoul Fright core is hand made

Animating static images.

In this game Akpala, there is a feature that allows players to converse with NPC characters during gameplay. For the responses to the player's voice input, we use AI-generated text.

Few images in-game are prepared using AI tools.
