Where do games disclose AI use?
Search developers’ Steam disclosures, compare classified AI use across
games, and follow recorded changes.
This index adds cross-game classifications and statistics to
statements published on individual store pages.
Groups reflect automatic analysis of public disclosures; mature records are excluded. These counts do not measure AI use across all of Steam.
Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Pre-generated AI tools were used during development to create the game's soundtrack and sound effects, and to assist with portions of its application icon and promotional key art. Those assets were selected, integrated, and reviewed by the developer. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Some store page visuals and marketing materials
were created with the assistance of AI image

All content included in the game is pre-generated, selected, reviewed and curated. The game does not generate new AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services during gameplay.
Some in-game art assets were created or assisted using generative AI tools, then reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. AI tools were also used as development assistance for parts of the code. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
We leverage AI to generate in-game image assets and use Suno AI to create the game’s background music. All AI-generated visual and audio materials have been manually reviewed and edited to ensure compliance with content standards.
Pre-rendered AI-assisted promotional artwork and marketing assets may be used for the store page and promotional materials. No generative AI content is created live during gameplay.
Severwood uses generative AI as part of its development. Many visual assets — including character art, backgrounds, and card illustrations — were created with the assistance of AI image-generation tools, then selected, edited, and assembled by the developer to fit the game's art direction. Some code was written with AI assistance, directed and reviewed by the developer. Game design, writing, planning, and systems are created and directed by the human developer. No AI-generated content is produced live during gameplay; all assets are fixed and were finalized during development.
ElevenLabs was used to create pre-recorded voice-over/narration audio, including some trailer narration.
Some existing promotional/store page images were edited with AI-assisted tools for cleanup, enhancement, and visual polishing. These images were not generated from scratch by AI.

- AI-assisted tools were used in parts of the development process.
AI was used as the main tool to code this game, generate assets, and navigate the release processes.
This is the core model of Shadow Games Software. Leveraging AI to do the busy work to free up creative teams to focus more on design, taste, and producing a quality product.
As the 2nd real project for the studio, Idle Energy, heavily used AI during development.

This game uses pre-generated generative AI content to assist with select 2D artwork, UI elements, and/or marketing materials. This content was reviewed and, where necessary, edited by the developer. No content is generated live by AI during gameplay.
This game utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in generating some of the promotional materials on
the store page, as well as certain in-game visual assets
Space Delivery is a solo indie project by Christian Wolf. Generative AI was one of the tools used to make it: all character voice-over and some sound effects were generated with ElevenLabs, AI image tools were used for the game's icons and some other menu/UI artwork, and AI tools were used to translate the game and its store page from English. The trailer and promotional images were assembled using AI tools from the game's own assets. AI also assisted with coding and design during development. All game design, art direction, and final creative decisions were made by the developer.
Some 2D images and promotional artwork used in the game and on the Steam store page were created or assisted using generative AI tools and then reviewed, modified, and integrated by the developer. No real-time AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
1. Some character art utilizes hand-drawn original sketches and designs, with AI used for coloring and lighting effects.
2. Background illustrations are AI-generated and then manually refined.
3. The script is AI-generated, with manual editing and content additions.
4. For languages other than Traditional Chinese, AI translation is used, followed by manual proofreading of terminology and content.
Generative AI was used only during the early concept art and ideation phase to help explore visual directions and inspire the art team. Any AI-assisted concepts served solely as reference material. All final in-game artwork was created, substantially reworked, or manually produced by human artists. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay, and no live AI systems are used by players.

The game does not generate AI content during gameplay. All final content included in the game and store page was reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before publication.
Chrome Circuit is developed by a solo developer who uses generative AI as part of the production pipeline. Character and environment sprite art was created using AI image generation, then processed, edited, and integrated by hand. Portions of the game's code were written with AI assistance under the developer's direction, with all systems designed, reviewed, and tested by the developer. All AI-generated content is created during development ("pre-generated") — the game does not generate any content while you play, and no AI runs on your machine. Game design, writing, and all creative decisions are the work of the developer.
AI tools were used during development to assist with certain aspects of programming, artwork, sound effects, and localization. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed, substantially edited, and integrated by the developer. No unedited or raw AI-generated content appears in the final game.
We used generative AI tools during development to create game icons. All assets were reviewed and integrated manually. The game does not generate content in real-time.
Forged Cards is a passion project, built by one person. I'm not a game studio, I'm a single developer who fell in love with an idea for a deck-builder where you build the cards and set out to make it real.
Games like this usually take a team. Modern AI development tools are a big part of how one person was able to build something at this scope. I used AI coding assistants to help me build and iterate on the game's systems, AI image generation for the art, and AI-generated sound effects, all of it reviewed, edited, and shaped by me to fit the world I wanted to create. Every card, every enemy, every choice about how this game looks and feels came from a person (and some close friends) who cared about getting it right.
I'm being upfront about this because I think you deserve to know how the thing you're playing was made. Forged Cards exists because these tools let one person build a game that otherwise would have stayed an idea in a notebook.
