Generative AI tools were used during development to create certain pre-generated visual and audio assets, including character portraits and video sequences, mech and environment artwork, synthetic voice-over, and some sound effects. All generated assets were reviewed and curated by the developer. The game does not generate content during gameplay, and no player input is sent to generative AI services.
We used AI tools in two places during development, and in neither of them to replace creative work.
Our French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean localisations are made using AI. We also used AI assistance while writing and restructuring parts of our codebase.
Everything players see and hear — art, animation, sound, music, game design and all original writing — was made by people.
### Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence
During the development of this game, I used generative artificial intelligence tools to assist me with various aspects of its creation.
AI was mainly used to create and/or improve certain visual elements of the game, including images and PNG files used in different graphical elements.
It also assisted me in creating the game’s trailer, as well as with certain scripts and technical elements that were particularly complex to implement. In these situations, AI was used as an assistance tool to help me develop, adapt, and finalize certain elements.
The use of artificial intelligence does not mean that the game was entirely created by AI. The game’s design, artistic direction, gameplay, development, and final integration of the different elements were carried out and supervised by me.
I want to be transparent with players regarding the use of these technologies in the creation of the game.
AI was used in the coding and content creation for this game. That should not take away from this project the thousands of hours spent on its creation, honing and reshaping its style, direction and gameplay which was all done by a human.
This game was created by an independent developer. Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, debugging, text editing, and the initial localization of Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay, and player data is not used for AI training.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some promotional and visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or its Steam store materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to help write portions of this game's text content, and parts of this store page. All game code, visuals, music, and sound design were created directly by the developer without generative AI. AI was used to help debug and troubleshoot code.
This game makes limited, supplementary use of generative AI tools during development. The primary uses are programming assistance (such as debugging), certain image and audio assets, and assistance with translating text into English.
Generated image and audio assets are not used as-is. The development team reviews their content and makes additions, revisions, edits, and other adjustments to ensure that they are appropriately refined and fit the game.
For text translated with the assistance of generative AI, the development team reviews the context and content and makes any necessary revisions before using it in the game. Please note that generative AI does not generate any game content during gameplay.
This game includes a small amount of generative AI content used only for optional tutorial and demonstration materials. These pre‑generated, G‑rated assets illustrate how the game’s IN‑OUT‑based timing loop works. They do not appear in normal gameplay and do not influence any game systems. All core mechanics, visuals, audio, and interactive content are fully handcrafted and do not use AI generation during play.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with coding and the creation of pre-generated visual assets. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were utilized for auxiliary purposes in the production of some assets. These assets were modified and supplemented by professional art personnel and were finally applied to the game.
All shipped assets are first-party or CC0/OFL-licensed human-made packs. Some 3D
meshes (enemy armor fused onto CC0 base rigs, the drone, weapon models) and the
entire soundtrack are produced by deterministic, first-party procedural build
scripts; those scripts were written with the help of an AI code assistant. No
image-, audio- or voice-generation model produced any shipped asset. The game's
written text — squad comms, item and mission descriptions, narrative screens —
and this store page's copy were drafted with AI assistance under developer
direction, then reviewed and edited by the developer. The game contains no
runtime or live AI generation.
Generative AI was used solely to assist with drafting and translating the Japanese and English descriptions for the Steam store page. Generative AI was not used for any other purpose. All content within the game itself was created by humans.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming and in the creation of certain pre-generated game assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, edited when necessary, and manually integrated by the developer. No AI-generated content is produced in real time during gameplay.
This game makes extensive use of generative AI in the creation of most game assets, including 3D modeling, voice, sound, video, images, textures, scenario and narrative writing, and translation/localization. As a result, various content and assets included in the game may be generated or assisted using generative AI.
We use generative AI in two limited ways.
Translation. Simplified Chinese, German, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese were machine-translated so the story reaches more players. English, Turkish, French, and Spanish were localized by our international friends and us. However, AI translation can miss nuance, so we warmly welcome player feedback to improve it.
Placeholder art. Three images are AI-generated: the Prologue background and the Mentor and Player portraits. They are placeholders. We believe in human expression and will replace them with commissioned art once the game has an audience.
Everything else (code, design, and all other artwork) is made by human hands.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with store page text localization and marketing copy drafts. All content was reviewed and edited by the developer before publication.
AI image tools supported the creation of some 2D illustrations and promotional assets. Every asset was designed, reworked, and finished by our artists, and all writing, game design, and code are entirely human-made. Nothing in the game is AI-generated at runtime.
Generative AI was used during development to create a small amount of temporary placeholder imagery. AI-generated content is limited to pre-generated visual assets and no AI content is generated during gameplay.
I used generative AI in the process of creating most art/visual assets in Trouble Shooters, with touch ups made after generation. Music and sound effects were either composed without the use of generative AI or sourced from sound libraries that predate generative AI workflows. Nothing is generated on-the-fly.
Generative AI was used as an auxiliary tool during development and to make minor edits and compositions to graphical assets, including logos. No generative AI is used to generate content dynamically during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating and refining some 2D artwork, visual assets, and promotional images. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated, reviewed, and edited by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not send player data to generative AI services.
Some character, costume, and promotional artwork was created with the assistance of generative AI image tools, then selected, edited, and assembled by the developer. There is no live AI generation during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI was used during development to create selected pre-generated store graphics, story illustrations, and in-game art. These assets were reviewed and edited before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content at runtime and does not send player input or personal data to AI services.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create or process some pre-generated voice audio and selected 2D visual assets, including stylized character and news-related images.
All AI-assisted content is created before release and manually reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game.
No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input or data is sent to generative AI services.
Text content only, all pre-generated during development and reviewed by the developer. AI assistance was used to write the in-game story text, the user interface translations for the 8 supported languages, the achievement names and descriptions, and the store page copy. Nothing is generated live at runtime and the game does not connect to any AI service. Art, sprites, capsule images, icons and the soundtrack are NOT AI-generated: they are produced by procedural scripts written by the developer and included in the project source.
Symbiosis: Criticality's narrative and dialogue were developed with the assistance of generative AI as part of an iterative, human-directed writing process. All in-game art, audio, and code were authored directly by the development team.
AI was used during development to assist with the creation of certain visual elements.
All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer before being integrated into the game.
