What the developer says
The use of AI in Vice Undercover was strictly limited to enhancing a limited number of database images, such as some faces, objects, and locations. All images began with original photographs taken by the team, which were then used to create datasets for generating initial concepts. These AI-generated images were not used as-is—instead, they served as a starting point for detailed, creative transformation. Every final image was extensively painted, composited, and refined using original photographs and artistic elements, ensuring that all visuals align with the game's unique style and authenticity. AI was simply one tool in a much larger creative process driven by human artistry.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used to enhance a limited number of in-game database images, so some shipped assets are AI-derived. It also describes extensive human painting, compositing, and original photography, indicating real production effort. The developer has released no games in the past year, so no volume-release signal exists. Against: The disclosure frames AI as a starting point for heavy human refinement, and the game is unreleased with no review data to assess. |
