ATR Gaming LLC – Statement on the Use of AI Artwork
ATR Gaming LLC is a creator-run studio. I do not have corporate funding, salaried art teams, or publisher backing. This work exists because I chose to build it, write it, test it, and finish it.
All rules, lore, mechanics, and narrative content in my games are written entirely by me. AI is not used to generate gameplay systems, setting material, or story content. Those elements are the core creative work and remain fully human-made.
AI-assisted artwork is used as a practical tool to visually support projects that would otherwise never exist. Every image is curated, reviewed, edited, and refined by hand to match the tone and world of the game. AI is not a replacement for artists, but a stopgap that allows independent creators to publish in a landscape dominated by corporate budgets.
I support human artists and believe strongly in fair compensation for creative labor. When resources allow, working with artists will always be a priority. Until then, refusing to create at all is not a viable option, and disqualifying independent creators based solely on tools ignores the realities of modern publishing.
I stand by authorship, intent, and transparency. Tools do not define creativity. People do.
