Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly used in game development for art creation, writing, audio generation, coding assistance, and gameplay systems. Developers may choose to use AI tools as part of their development process.
When using AI tools, developers remain responsible for ensuring that their game content complies with the Game License & Upload Agreement, Content Standards, and applicable law.
What types of AI tools might developers use?
Developers may use AI tools in a variety of ways, including:
• generating concept art or in-game artwork
• generating music or sound effects
• writing dialogue or narrative content
• assisting with programming or code generation
• generating textures, models, or UI assets
AI may be used during development or incorporated directly into gameplay systems.
What should I check before using an AI tool?
Before using AI tools in your development process, developers should review the terms of service and license terms for the tool.
Important considerations include:
• whether the tool allows commercial use of generated outputs
• whether you retain rights to the generated content
• whether the tool requires attribution (credit) or disclosure
• whether the tool imposes restrictions on distribution
Different AI services have different terms governing ownership and use of generated content.
Am I responsible for AI-generated content in my game?
Yes.
Developers are responsible for the content included in their games, including content generated using AI tools.
This means developers should ensure that AI-generated content:
• does not infringe intellectual property rights
• does not violate applicable laws
• complies with the Kongregate Content Standards
Kongregate also require developers to declare use of AI and what it was used for in a game, as part of the game description that is shown to players.
Can AI be used as part of the gameplay experience?
Yes, developers may choose to include AI-driven features in their games, such as:
• procedural content generation
• AI-generated dialogue or storytelling
• dynamic gameplay systems
Developers should ensure that any such systems comply with platform rules and applicable laws.
Does Kongregate use gameplay data for AI systems?
As described in the Game License & Upload Agreement, Kongregate may use anonymized or aggregated platform and gameplay data to improve the Kongregate platform and related services, including AI/ML systems.
Such use does not change the developer’s ownership of their game or underlying intellectual property.
Should developers seek legal advice when using AI?
AI technologies and related intellectual property issues continue to evolve. Developers who are uncertain about the legal implications of using AI tools may wish to consult a qualified legal professional.
