This game includes assets created with generative AI during development (official music, song artwork, and drum animations). Nothing is generated while you play, and the game does not connect to an AI service at runtime. Players cannot send prompts to any AI.

Some art assets are generated using AI.

Generative AI tools were used during development to create and iterate on some pre-rendered 2D artwork and promotional images. All such assets were selected, edited, integrated, and reviewed by the development and art team. No AI content is generated during gameplay.

AI was used for some localizations.

Some building art assets were created using AI-assisted 3D model generation, then manually refined, rendered, and composited as final 2D sprites. No live AI content generation occurs during gameplay.

Most of Stackade's code was written with generative AI coding tools, working to the developer's direction. Everything you see on the board is drawn by that code; the game contains no AI-generated images. The ten translations besides English were produced with AI. Parts of this store page, its marketing images and its trailer were also made with AI assistance. The sound effects and music are recordings made by people and are credited in the game. Nothing is generated by AI while you play, and the game never connects to an AI service.

Some pixel arts are enhanced by AI

This game was developed by a solo creator using generative AI tools to assist in the creation of visual assets (including environmental textures, character portraits, and UI elements) and background music. All AI-generated content has been manually reviewed, edited, and integrated to ensure it fits the game's horror atmosphere and narrative.

Generative AI was used to assist with the localization of the game's text into multiple languages. The Portuguese and English localizations were reviewed by the developer, while the Japanese localization received partial human review. Other supported languages were translated with AI assistance and have not yet received full human review, or their review is still in progress.

The facial graphics and backgrounds are illustrations created using a commercially available AI model, with some modifications and additions.

Background Music (BGM): Some in-game background music tracks were generated using AI tools.Localization: The game's text localization (translations into various languages) was produced or assisted by AI.All AI-generated content was reviewed and curated by the developer before inclusion in the game.
