Does Men of War: Red Tide use AI-generated content?

Yes. The developers disclose AI-generated content on the game's Steam page:

Generative AI was used as a supporting tool during the creation of some of the Steam Community assets, with all AI-generated images being carefully refined and significantly reworked by a professional graphic artist. The game itself (and all in-game artwork) was created entirely by human developers and artists, without the use of generative AI.

The statement mentions: Store page & marketing
