This title uses generative artificial intelligence in software development, the creation of art assets, and foreign-language localization. Given the constraints of our production schedule, the size of our team, and the professional responsibilities of our members outside this project, we chose to incorporate generative AI into certain parts of development in pursuit of a more complete and polished game. However, our team firmly believes that generative AI should help creators produce better work. It should never become an excuse for cutting corners, disregarding the creative process, or replacing skilled professionals. While working to deliver the most complete experience possible, these technologies enabled our engineers to explore directions that had previously been difficult to pursue because of limited time and manpower. These efforts include machine-learning-based image segmentation and depth mapping using motion-aware techniques, as well as redesigning low-level director systems and asset-management systems for art and text beyond the assistance provided by conventional game-engine tooling. We also recognize that the experience and judgment of professional creators cannot be replicated. Throughout the production of our artistic assets, the team has actively sought guidance from artists, engineers, and experienced professionals in relevant fields, and has continuously reviewed the final content in accordance with their professional advice. All generated output is subject to human review, selection, and adjustment. No generated material is included in the game without first being inspected. With regard to our art assets, we take copyright and creators’ rights in connection with generative AI very seriously. We believe that artists’ creative work and aesthetic expertise deserve stronger copyright protection. We have never trained models on others’ work without authorization, nor have we used LoRA models of unknown or unverifiable origin. We will not use an artist’s name, work, or distinctive style to train models or create imitations without permission, and we will never claim another creator’s work as our own. We understand that players may hold different views regarding generative AI, and we are committed to being transparent about how and where it has been used in this title, as well as the principles that guide our use of it. We will continue striving to ensure that both our own technology and generative AI serve as tools for creating a more complete work—not as excuses for avoiding creative responsibility, undermining the trust between creators and consumers, or producing inexpensive imitations. Finally, we sincerely thank you for your understanding and for holding us accountable.
