The Alters Team Breaks AI Silence

The Alters game developer studio 11 Bit Studios, which has been the target of criticism due to its use of AI-powered content, broke its silence with a statement published on social media. The studio acknowledged the use of AI, stating that this was only done for limited and temporary purposes, and that content prepared largely by hand was preferred.

The Alters Used AI Very Little

At the beginning of the statement, the team stated that they wanted to clarify the AI ​​claims made with the game’s release, and that some content created with generative AI was only used for temporary visuals (WIP) during the development process. It was also stated that the graphic element that caused controversy was added as a placeholder by a designer and accidentally remained in the final version.

“We have conducted a thorough review and confirmed that this is an isolated incident. The relevant visual content is currently being updated,” 11 Bit Studios said, emphasizing that it did not have a significant impact on the player experience. The studio also reiterated that their main goal has always been meaningful and hand-crafted storytelling.

The statement also confirmed that some video content was translated by AI in the final stages of the game’s development process. It was stated that this method was chosen instead of the translation partners they normally work with due to time pressure.

Although there were still some concerns among the reactions of players, 11 Bit Studios’ statement was interpreted as a sincere return. However, this situation has brought back to the agenda the issue of how much and with what transparency developers use AI-generated content.
