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.
Loop 9 uses generative AI to power text-only dialogue with Dragojlo, a fictional in-game coworker. Player-written messages and limited game-state context are sent through our backend to OpenAI to generate brief in-character replies. Some store marketing artwork was created with AI assistance and reviewed and edited by the developer. Player messages and generated replies are not shared with other players.
Pre-generated content only. This game does not run any AI at runtime.
Visual art: 444 image files were created with generative AI during development —
equipment sprites, ability icons, monster sheets, character portraits, building
art, terrain and UI textures, the title screen and the game icon. The tool was
ChatGPT (OpenAI), web interface, image generation, in sessions between 13 July
and 1 August 2026. The author recalls the model as GPT-5.5, but the interface did
not record the exact model version, so only the date range is documented.
Text: the in-game text — tutorial, mission and event wording, item and interface
strings — was drafted with generative AI assistance and then reviewed and edited
by the author. Spanish is the original language.
Translations: the English, German and Italian versions of the in-game text were
produced from the Spanish original with generative AI.
Not AI-generated: all remaining art comes from CC0, CC BY 3.0 and CC BY-SA 3.0
sources (Liberated Pixel Cup, 7Soul, Kenney), credited in full on the in-game
credits screen. All music and sound effects are CC0 or CC BY. No AI-generated
voice or music ships with the game.
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.
AI-assisted translation tools are used to help localize this game's text for international audiences, including English and any additional languages added in the future.
No AI-generated content is used for graphics, sound, or narrative/story content.
Character/background art: ChatGPT (image generation)
Music: SOUNDRAW (AI music generation)
Translations other than Japanese (10 languages): Machine-translated via ChatGPT
