AI Usage Disclosure

Clade is made by a small independent developer. During development, AI tools were used to help write some of the game's code, and to create some placeholder 3D models and text. All placeholder art is being replaced with handmade work, and this note will be updated as that happens. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play. The computer controlled empires are traditional game AI written for Clade, not generative AI.

The disclosure is the developer’s statement on Steam. Index dates show when we observed it, not when AI use began. History covers captured versions only. Automatic analysis can be wrong and is not a verification of the game’s content. Read the methodology.
