The Alters gets patched to replace AI generated bits, fix a Steam Deck crash and more

The Alters from 11 bit studios appears to be doing very well, apart from the controversy over the AI generated bits. A new patch is out to fix it up.

Back in June, there was a lot going around about players discovering some AI generated assets in the game, which were not disclosed on store pages like Steam. Not a lot, but enough that it caused a bit of an uproar. The developer posted on social media (like Bluesky) with a statement to clear it up noting that they were meant as placeholders. There were also some AI translations for a few licensed in-game movies in the social area that were done due to "extreme time constraints" they had planned to replace.

With patch 1.1.0, this should all be cleared up now, as noted:

Localization and VOs:

• Multiple missing and wrong translations.
• Occasional missing voiceovers.
• Replaced LLM generated text on Command Center asset.
• Replaced machine translated subtitles in Social Room movies.

A fair amount of bug fixes came with this update too like a Steam Deck crash when progressing onto a new chapter. Nice to see direct fixes like that.

The developer also recently revealed that less than a month after release it sold over 280,000 copies as well.
