Where do games disclose AI use?

Cover art made with the help of AI tools.

Generative AI tools were used during development to create visual references and assist with the creation of some 3D assets. AI-generated outputs used as source material were further edited, refined, or integrated by the developer before inclusion in the game. Generative AI may also be used to create or assist with some music, sound, and localization assets, with outputs reviewed and edited before inclusion. No generative AI is used at runtime.

How we do use AI:

AI is used to create some of the images on the game's store page and in the library.

AI-assisted tools were used during development to create some visual assets, including some artwork. These assets are included as pre-generated game content.

Some visual and audio assets were generated with AI tools during development and edited for use in Dead Last. No AI content is generated during gameplay.

This game utilizes pre-rendered content assisted by generative AI tools exclusively for a few specific background songs, character voice acting, and minor conceptual art references. The ambient sound design, audio effects, and liminal soundscapes were crafted by human artists. Certain 3D models and environmental props were acquired under license from creators on the Unreal Engine Marketplace. All narrative writing, game design, level composition, programming, story, and creative direction are original works created and directed entirely by the author.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating some artwork, music, sound effects, and promotional materials, and in drafting and translating text. These materials are prepared before release. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.

AI-Generated Content Disclosure – CONJURARIUN CONJURARIUN uses AI-generated content in certain elements of the game. AI-generated images were used for some visual assets, including artwork featured in the game. Additionally, AI-generated music was used in the main menu. All AI-generated content was reviewed, selected, and integrated by the development team as part of the game's creative process. The gameplay, programming, mechanics, and overall game development were created and implemented by the developer.

We don’t particularly like using AI. Unfortunately, we are a small indie studio made of programmers and designers who are currently somewhere between “making a game” and “having existential crises”. So, for now, we use AI to help us with some parts of our daily work and to bring some of our music, ideas, and inspirations to life. But don’t worry, we haven’t handed over the steering wheel to the robots just yet. Our project, its identity, and its originality are still created and directed by us. AI is simply one of the tools helping us survive the development process while our budget is busy pretending it doesn’t exist. As soon as we have the resources to replace AI with our own human made work, we absolutely intend to do so. Until then, we’re just a bunch of indie developers trying to make something cool before our refrigerators become purely decorative objects.

Generative AI is used for prototyping and placeholders. Real paid human artwork is important and any remaining AI elements at release are accidental.

Pre-generated AI tools were used to create selected voice-over performances and selected promotional artwork. All AI-assisted materials are reviewed, edited, and finalized by the development team before use. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Stay With Me contains a limited amount of pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI. Some visual assets, the loading screen artwork, and some voice lines for the characters Margaret and the child were created using AI tools. The AI-generated content was further edited, processed and adapted by the developer before being integrated into the game. All AI content is pre-generated during development. The game does not generate content using AI while running, and there is no live AI generation.

Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of the game's library logo artwork. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

Some artwork for the game or its store materials includes minor AI-assisted edits. This content is pre-generated. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.

Some 3D models in this game, with their textures, were generated with an AI 3D-modeling tool from our own designs and then rigged and edited for the game: the Harvester, the Halloway family, the two playable co-op characters, the scarecrows and the wax effigy.

Generative AI tools assisted with some audio assets and promotional artwork during development. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Some assets (voiceovers, wall paintings, icons) are currently generated using AI and are planned to be replaced with artist-created assets in future updates.

Parts of Howling Woods were made with generative AI during development: its music and sound effects, its interface icons and store art, some of its set-piece models, and parts of its code. All of it was reviewed and reworked by hand, and nothing is generated while you play.

Generative AI assisted development, including artwork, writing and translations. This includes in-game and Steam store content. The game does not generate new AI content during play.

AI tools assisted visual artwork, audio and some text. No live AI generation occurs during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used to create and refine promotional artwork and startup/loading artwork based on our game’s character designs. The startup artwork is included in the game.

Cards Rumble: Clash Of Elements uses generative AI tools during development to help create some of the game's card artwork and illustrations, as well as some of its music, sound effects, and voice lines. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and refined by our team before being included in the game. No content is generated by AI while you play.

ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Suno, and Doubao TTS assisted with most of the pre-generated visual, music, and voice content. All such content was created before release and selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. More than 99% of the game’s text was written manually by the author; AI was used only to help check for errors. The game does not connect to generative AI services or generate content at runtime.

AI tools were used to assist in creating selected promotional store assets and game assets. These materials were or will be later edited, refined, and finalized by human creators.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with the localization and translation of the game's text into additional languages.

The store page artwork (capsule images, header, library images and logo) was created with the help of generative AI tools. Part of the game's source code and development tools were also written with the help of AI coding assistants, then reviewed and integrated by the developer. The in-game content itself (3D visuals from licensed asset packs, CC0 sound effects, texts) is not AI-generated, and the game does not use generative AI while playing. All screenshots are captured from the actual game.

The game's story, design and text were created by the developer. Generative AI was used as an assistant when writing the text of this store page and of the game, and to translate it into 12 languages; all of it was reviewed and edited by the developer. One song on the car radio ("Broken Hearts and Blue Moons", licensed from Pixabay) was produced by its author with generative AI. No content is generated while you play.

Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some in-game images, textures, dialogue, store page text, and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and implemented by the developer. No live-generated AI content is used during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of some visual and 3D assets. All generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer.

We combined hands-on development with AI tools to help speed up our workflow, including work on artwork, music, text, and translations. Our team designed and built the game, guided its creative direction, and edited and refined the visuals to match TIP or RIP’s cartoon style.

AI was used generate and polish store page graphic assets

Pre-generated content: the pixel art (characters, animations, tiles, props, UI frames) and the store capsule art were made with the help of an AI pixel-art tool, then selected, edited and assembled by the developer. Store page texts and their translations were drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play. Music, sound effects and fonts are licensed assets made by people.

Some UI elements are AI-generated placeholders.

As a solo developer, I used AI text-to-speech to voice characters. Everything else, including 3D models, textures, writing, and design, was made by me.

Generative AI was used during development as an assistive tool for code prototyping and localization, and to create some pre-generated visual content, including fictional patient photographs used as environmental and narrative elements in the game. AI-generated concept art is used only as internal visual reference and is not included as game assets. All AI-generated content included in the game is pre-generated. No generative AI runs during gameplay. Final level design, asset placement, gameplay systems, narrative implementation, and asset integration are created and assembled by the developer.

Some store and library capsule art was produced with image-generation tools (SDXL and a chat assistant) using our own in-game screenshots as the input image. The underlying game content -- models, textures, code, text -- is authored by us without generative AI. All generated art was reviewed by us before publication.

We use generative AI across all disciplines of game development with heavy amounts of human editing. That involves audio and visual art. We use it as a productivity tool so we can achieve a higher level of quality, faster, than we would have been able to.

Generative AI was used as a supporting tool for selected elements of the artwork. Most elements were extensively modified and adapted through substantial hands-on work, including repainting, rigging, and animation.

Generated AI content was only used partly in the codebase logic development of Tarpit.

Generated Images and 3D Models

Video, some textures, and 3D models

Generative AI tools were used to during development to assist with game code, content, and materials. The game contains no live generative AI interactions and does not generate content during gameplay.

Generative AI was used to create pre-rendered story illustrations, horror encounter images, promotional artwork and music. AI tools also assisted with narrative text and localization. These assets are prepared in advance; the game does not generate AI content during play.

The game includes pre-generated content created with the help of generative AI, including some character voice lines and sound effects.

Some textures and sound effects were created or edited using generative AI tools.

Generative AI tools assisted in producing content for the game and its store materials, including some images, music and character voices. Starlit Hall Studio designs, selects, revises, integrates and reviews the final content. All content is prepared before release; the game does not generate content or connect to generative AI services during play.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some visual assets, textures, and promotional artwork. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, edited where appropriate, and integrated by the developer.

The game includes a limited number of developer-reviewed AI-assisted 2D atmospheric illustrations used as static, non-interactive UI/background art. They are not gameplay screenshots, playable characters, dialogue, code, or user-generated content. Interactive levels, gameplay systems, text, and the in-game 3D presentation are authored or assembled by the developer using project-owned and separately tracked third-party assets.

Generative AI was used in two areas for this project: First, 2D character artwork hand-drawn by a human artist was converted into 3D models using AI-powered tools. Second, AI was used for the localization and translation of the game's text into multiple languages. All other game assets, including sound design, music, and the core story, were created entirely without the use of AI.
