Public Steam disclosure research25,979 disclosures tracked
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.
Death Before Decaf uses generative AI tools to assist with visual asset production. This includes character and enemy sprites, environment art, and marketing capsule images, all created using a fine-tuned model trained on reference materials owned by Overdose Interactive (Scenario.gg with a custom DBD LoRA, plus Replicate/Flux for select assets). All AI-generated outputs are reviewed, edited, and approved by a human art director before being shipped in the game.
The game itself does not generate any AI content at runtime: all assets are pre-rendered and bundled with the build. The game does not connect to any external AI services during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with selected visual and audio asset concepts and production support.
All final assets included in the game were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure they are appropriate for the game and do not knowingly include infringing content. No live AI-generated content is produced during gameplay.
Character portraits, world objects, and background artwork utilize generative AI as a foundational base. However, every visual asset undergoes heavy, manual editing and refinement through multiple iterations by myself to achieve the game's specific art style.
AI image generation tools were used to create character artwork, background illustrations, and other visual assets in this game. AI coding assistance tools were used extensively throughout the development process for game logic and programming.
WinBolo's core engine and gameplay code was originally written by John Morrison between 1998 and 2008. The 2.0 modernization — including build system updates, the networking rewrite and platform ports — was developed with assistance from AI coding tools, with all architectural decisions, code review, and final integration handled by John Morrison.
Some non-gameplay marketing materials — including images and video elements used in trailers, social media, and the store page — were created using AI image generation as a starting point, with composition, editing, effects, and final selection done by hand. Gameplay screenshots and video footage are unedited captures from the actual game.
The game itself contains no generative AI content at runtime. Player-facing in-game assets (graphics, sound, music, text, UI) are human-created. The in-game AI opponents ("Brains," including NewAutopilot and future ML-trained agents) use traditional game AI techniques and trained reinforcement-learning models — they don't generate text, images, or audio during play.
Different Ai tools used in creating artwork for the game, audio tracks, being a single developer utilizing different tools to help accomplish the same goal.
Some visual assets and concept art were created or assisted using AI tools during development. Everything has been reviewed and refined by the developer to match the game’s style and quality.
Guilds of Mountgate currently uses AI-generated visual assets during Early Access, primarily for environmental backgrounds and UI-related imagery.
All assets are individually selected and refined to ensure visual consistency within the game world.
This approach allows development to focus on the core systems that define the game — including progression, economy and world simulation.
As development continues, many of these assets — especially location backgrounds — are planned to be replaced with handcrafted, pre-rendered 3D scenes created in Blender for the full release (v1.0).
Some visual assets were generated with AI tools as a starting
point, then hand-edited, pixel-refined, and composited by the
developer. All creative direction, design, and final polish
is human-made.
AI tools were used to assist with text editing, translation, illustrations, and marketing materials.
Game concept, writing, music direction, and narrative structure were created by a human.
RogueQuest was made by a solo developer with the help of generative AI across most of its production: artwork (character portraits, environments, card illustrations), code (written collaboratively with AI coding assistants), and music/sound. Game design, writing, curation, and final decisions are made by a human. All AI-generated assets are pre-generated and shipped as static content. The game does not call any AI services while you play.
Some visual assets in this game have been created with the assistance of AI tools, then refined and integrated to fit the artistic direction of the project.
All music featured in the game is original and performed by a real pianist, composed specifically to enhance the emotional experience.
The game was made with the help of generative AI tools for visual assets, store artwork, music, localization support, and development assistance. AI-assisted materials were reviewed, selected, edited where necessary, and integrated by the developer.
AI tools were used to generate a small number of character portraits, sprite drafts, and some sound effect assets during development. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team.
Generative AI tools were used as an aid for localization and for some in-game animations. All results were reviewed and manually refined by the developer.
Some 2D graphic assets in this game, including character concept art and background images, were pre-rendered using generative AI tools. These AI-generated assets were then manually edited, refined, and optimized by the developer to fit the game's specific space theme and pixel art aesthetic.
Some visual assets and materials used in the game were created or enhanced with the help of AI tools during development.
All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer.
The game does not use AI to generate content during gameplay.
Thunder Infinity was developed by a single person with no resources or financial support.
The artwork for the project was produced by generative AI under strict artistic guidelines.
In the future, if the game is well-received and sells well, a redesign by professional artists could be considered.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some pre-generated 2D artwork and static visual assets included in the game, Steam store page, and marketing materials. AI tools were also used as development assistance for portions of the code. All resulting content was completed and integrated before release. The game does not use generative AI during gameplay, does not connect to external generative AI services, and does not generate text, images, audio, or other content at runtime.
In order to provide accessibility, AI was used to create the narration for the tutorial and encyclopaedia. Also some of the background and encyclopaedia images were generated using AI, but will be replaced for 1.0 launch.
As a solo developer, I used AI tools as a foundation to expand the game's scope, manually refining and finalizing every asset to ensure the final result is a high-quality, handcrafted experience.
Heart Duels is a solo-developed game. I use AI-assisted tools for some art and audio. All assets are curated and integrated by me to create a cohesive experience.
Some store assets (such as capsules and promotional images) were created with the assistance of AI tools due to limited resources during development. All gameplay, design, and core content of Glowbot Tower Defense are fully original and developed by me.
As future projects grow, I plan to collaborate with artists to further enhance the visual presentation.
Beaver's Pond's game design, creative direction, art direction, gameplay systems, and overall vision were conceived and directed by a solo human developer. All AI-generated content was curated, edited, and integrated by the developer.
AI was used to assist in the following areas:
All game code was written with AI assistance
Character sprite artwork was generated with AI assistance
Lure artwork was generated with AI assistance
Fish artwork was generated with AI assistance
All music tracks were generated with AI assistance
