AI Transparency Index: Every AI Disclosure on Steam, Tracked and Searchable

We use AI tools to support our development process

This game was made by a two-person team specializing in storytelling. The entire narrative, all gameplay systems, UI, animations, core sound and game design were built entirely by our team. AI was used to generate some of audio and graphical assets due to the limited resources. Scenario was originally written in Ukrainian language, so translations might have minor mistakes. Thank you for your understanding.

The visual art in this game is primarily AI-generated. 3D models, textures, concept art, and UI art, along with the artwork used on this store page, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, as were the game's sound effects. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed, edited, and approved by our team before use. Our trailers consist of actual in-game footage. The game does not generate any content in real time — there is no live AI generation of dialogue, voice, art, or any other content during gameplay.

Development Toolchain developed by AI with human guided R&D.

Some pre-rendered visual artwork, promotional material, as well as game elements were created with AI and then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to third-party AI services during gameplay.

Artwork, Music, Voice Acting, Environment

The use of AI in the game is temporary: logo, cover art, icons, music... Everything is being developed with professionals without the use of AI.

This game uses content created or assisted by generative AI. Generative AI was used to help create and edit some visual assets, music/sound materials, and scripts. All final content was reviewed, selected, and adjusted by the developer before being included in the game.

This game uses generative AI to create part of its content: - Art and sprites: generated with AI tools and manually edited in Photoshop. - Intro cinematic: generated with Google Veo 3 and Flow, then edited. - Some sound effects: generated or processed with AI tools, combined with recorded and licensed library sounds. - Code assistance: parts of development were assisted by language models (Claude). All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does NOT use AI at runtime: all content is pre-rendered.

Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of certain Steam store page artwork (excluding screenshots and trailers) and in the multilingual localization of the store page.

Generative AI was used as an assistive tool for creating some visual assets. All AI-assisted assets were manually edited and refined by a human designer before being included in the game.

Gemini was used to assist in creating card art and art in backgrounds based off of a Fantasy setting from a not yet published book which is copyrighted. Sounds were created using elevenlabs for card sounds and effects including vo.

AI tools were used during development to help write the game's code and store text.

Azura uses artificial intelligence to accelerate card prototyping, character ideas, and mechanic balancing, always providing creative support. All final content goes through human curation and collaborations with artists, ensuring a visually unique and soulful game.

Visuals: This game features cinematic visuals crafted through 3D modeling and digital composition, with Photoshop's Generative Fill used selectively for background enhancements and asset integration. Music: The soundtrack includes cover versions of the original theme composed by Yasunori Shiono, arranged using Suno with the composer's permission.

Just Several Pictures in Dialogue

Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of some in-game textures and visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and modified by the developer.

We use AI to improve the image quality of screenshots.

Some of the store page and in-game art appears to be potentially AI-generated.

Some Sounds and 2d Image

Only a presentation and a few minor images under 2 minutes in duration.

Store page translations were created with the assistance of AI and reviewed for accuracy. AI was used to generate the background imagery for the Steam capsule art on the store page, while the logo and title were created without AI.

We used AI rendered images as reference for creating the main character of the game, and narrative and visual hints of other AI created characters.

AI is only used for 4 images.

The in-game images were generated using AI and meticulously reviewed and approved by our in-house art team to ensure a diverse, immersive experience that fits the crime scene context and aligns with the game's graphic style. No images are generated during gameplay. Additionally, the assistant that accompanies the player at the crime scene sometimes intervenes using artificial intelligence to analyze the scene in real time, enhancing the realism of both the crime scenes and the overall gaming experience. Thanks to AI integration, all suspects are brought to life in a vivid and believable manner, enabling players to conduct detailed interrogations and determine who is innocent or guilty when the interrogation is executed correctly.

1001 Nights is a story-crafting game that started development as early as 2020, exploring creative narrative gameplay to bring players novel experiences they've never had before: telling stories and turning those stories into reality.All traditional game art assets are hand-crafted by our talented human artists. This includes character illustrations, scene models, UI elements, and all visual components that form the core aesthetic of our game. The game features an adaptive LLM-based storytelling system that responds to your unique inputs based on a language model called Qwen. Our narrative engine draws from the rich tradition of Persian folklore and our original hand-written story frameworks by paid writers, then dynamically adapts these materials to create personalized experiences based on your inputs. Each playthrough becomes a unique collaboration between you and our narrative system.Our guiding principle has always been to create gaming experiences that were previously impossible - where technology serves as a creative collaborator rather than a replacement for human imagination. The soul of 1001 Nights comes from our human creators, inspired by ancient Persian folklore and brought to life through innovative narrative systems.For technical details about our implementation and the academic research behind our systems, please refer to the in-game introduction, and our published papers available on our official website. We're a small indie team committed to pushing the boundaries of interactive storytelling while respecting both player creativity and artistic integrity.We welcome any questions or feedback about our creative process via adaeden1001[at]gmail[dot]com or through our Discord community. Your input helps us continue improving this unique storytelling experience.
