Read the full disclosureQuoted from the Steam store page
All visual artwork in Altus Chess: Archaic Beginnings — piece designs, board and background art, and promotional/store imagery — was created using generative AI image tools, directed by the developer through human-written prompts based on the game's own pieces and concepts, then reviewed and edited by hand. No content is generated live during gameplay. The game's opponent is a proprietary, hand-built algorithmic chess engine, not generative AI.
