Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine some pre-generated visual and other game assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Some assets in this game were created with the help of generative AI: background and character art, UI and achievement icons, music and sound effects, and promotional material such as the trailer. All of them were selected, edited and checked by hand before use. The script and all in-game text were written by a human. The game performs no AI generation at runtime and connects to no external AI service.
Some art assets, sound effects and narrative materials were pre‑generated with AI tools during development. No AI‑generated content is created in real‑time during gameplay.
The game will connect to an open-source local large language model that is already built into the game upon first launch, and use it during gameplay to generate NPC dialogues, host responses, and reasoning review feedback. Players may also choose to access compatible third‑party large language model APIs. The text generated at runtime is based on player questions and current story data.
Our team used AI tools to assist with improving some existing sketches and character elements, creating some background elements, and producing/ improving translations and character voices.
The vast majority of the game was created by our team without AI.
English: This game uses generative AI to create case stories, suspect dialogues, and investigative clues in real time during play. AI is provided by third-party services — you bring your own API key (entered in the in-game settings). No microtransactions.
AI tools were used to assist with localizing the interface text into the game's 11 supported languages. All artwork, music, sound and game design are human-made.
The game uses AI tools to assist in generating background graphics and supporting the artistic process. AI is also used to aid in translation and localization, making the game available in multiple regions and languages.
Some of the game's art assets were generated with the assistance of AI. All such assets have been carefully reviewed to ensure they do not infringe on third-party rights or violate Steam's policies.
AI was used on this game: to assist with the programming, and to produce the translations. If a line reads wrong in your language, report it on the Steam community hub.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with some image assets and written or localized text for the game and its store page, as well as three in-game background music tracks. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated and fixed. The game does not generate content at runtime or send player input or data to AI services.
This game uses generative AI-assisted tools for certain visual assets and promotional materials, including some artwork shown in the store page and trailer. All AI-assisted content has been reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated by the developer.
Assistance with the development of:
- Custom procedural 2D animation rig.
- Reinforcement learning (RL) layer for player and NPC animations in hand-authored 2D environments.
- Base designs for sprites and backgrounds (further iterated by hand using digital editing software like photoshop)
No ai tools were used in any capacity for writing or story elements, voice acting, music, or anywhere else.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating promotional images for the Steam store page, early concept art, and voiceovers for character dialogues. No AI content is generated in real-time during gameplay. All in-game models, code, and environments were manually created, processed, and integrated by the developer.
We’d like to be transparent about the localization of THE WRONG WAY ROUND.
Some of the game’s translations have been created with the assistance of AI and then reviewed and adjusted by us. This allows us to make the game available to more players and support more languages than we could otherwise manage.
We’re continuously improving the translations and really appreciate any feedback from native speakers.
Dynamic Interrogation Dialogue: Suspicious Minds features an unscripted interrogation engine powered by local Large Language Models (LLMs). Suspect and detective responses, emotional shifts, and conversational directions are generated dynamically in real time based on user inputs, crime scene evidence, and player choices.
Voice Recognition & Speech Synthesis: The game utilizes localized speech-to-text engines to analyze spoken player input and real-time text-to-speech models to synthesize natural, expressive character voice outputs during gameplay.
Some of the game's background music was created using generative AI, and a very small portion of the visuals underwent refinement or fine-tuning using generative AI.
Some of the music in this game was created using Suno AI. Generative image tools were also used in the creation of certain in-game visual assets and marketing images. The generated content was reviewed, selected, and modified during the development process. Generative AI is not used in real time during gameplay, nor does the game generate any new content while being played.
Generative AI was used to create some pre-generated character artwork, 2D images, and illustrations included in the game and related visual promotional materials. All generated images are reviewed and selected by the developer before inclusion. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to help translate the game's text and store page into other languages. It was not used to create any of the artwork, audio, or code in the game.
AI tools were used for some decorative textures and minor details. Although their use is minimal, they are visually present and may bother people sensitive to this topic. Furthermore, AI was used for temporary test dubbing of the characters. However, the final product will be voiced by human actors.
Generative AI tools were utilized to generate initial texture concepts. All final in-game assets were extensively modified, hand-edited, and integrated manually.
Some art, the 3D models, the music beds, the sound effects and all character voice lines were produced with generative AI tools during development, then hand-reviewed, edited and shipped as fixed assets. Nothing is generated while you play: the game ships every asset on disc, runs no model, and makes no network call.
I’m a solo developer. At this stage, generative AI is used only for some character artwork shown in the game’s trailer and promotional material. These assets are temporary and are not used in the game itself.
As a one-person studio, I’m using temporary AI-generated artwork to gauge interest in the game before committing significant time or money to producing the final character art. I plan to replace this artwork with original/non-AI assets before release and will update this disclosure when that happens.
The AI coworkers in this game are voiced by a machine (TTS), and their dialogue was really written by AI together with self portraits, on purpose and under human review. The slop is diegetic. The code was written with AI agents and reviewed by the last human in that loop, the developer. That is also the plot. No AI runs at runtime. Everything was baked and reviewed before shipping.
Generative AI was used during development to generate suspect mugshot photos, dossier case texts, and to assist with language localization. All generated assets are static and pre-packaged into the game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with certain pre-generated visual elements and sequences in the game. All such materials were reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated into the final video content by the Dev team. The game’s narrative, interactive structure, gameplay logic, and final presentation are created and controlled by the Dev team.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and no content is generated dynamically for players.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with the enhancement of certain promotional images, store page artwork, and place holder UI promotional content including lighting, color grading, atmospheric effects, and visual cleanup.
The game's models, environments, gameplay systems, animations, and other in-game content are created by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI during gameplay.
AI-assisted tools were used during the development of DarkDice in the following ways:
Code development — AI coding assistants helped write and refactor portions of the game's codebase.
Text editing — AI tools were used to proofread, polish, and tighten narrative and UI copy.
Localization & Editing — AI is used to assist with the translation, text expansion, polishing, and style adjustment of game text between English and Chinese (Traditional/Simplified).
Image generation — Some visual assets (case artwork, promotional images) were created using AI image-generation tools.
No content is generated in real time during gameplay — every case is a fixed, pre-authored story; nothing changes between playthroughs.
