Public Steam disclosure research26,035 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.
Character prototypes and costumes (for the protagonist Luo Hongxue) are manually designed. AI is used to generate scenes (such as background images for Shuiyue Tower and the Cave Mansion), NPC appearances (like the looks of a poor scholar or a fox spirit), and motion modifications (such as adjustments to character spellcasting and walking animations).
Some visual elements of the game, including certain artwork and UI assets, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development.
All AI-generated assets were curated, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure visual consistency and artistic direction.
The game does not use live AI generation during gameplay.
AI generative models were used to create localization files to support languages that would otherwise be difficult for a solo developer. Placeholder AI-generated assets have been created for the Steam store splash images, with the intent of commissioning an artist if this gains community support. All in-game assets (sprites, music, sound effects, UI elements, and interactive content) were created by humans and are credited in the game credits. CPU opponents use traditional game AI algorithms, not generative AI models.
This is the third iteration of development, that was originally developed in 2019 with HTML + JS, then rebuilt in Unity, and then transferred to LOVE2D written in Lua. It was more-or-less built with a box of scraps in a cave in its first iterations, and modern software since those days have effectively blurred the line where task automation meets unethical AI consumption.
It's up to each of us to determine where that line is for ourselves in a rapidly changing digital age. As both a solo game dev and multimedia artist carrying a full-time job in neither of those fields, I feel that it's important to be educating ourselves on where AI can be a useful tool to allow new opportunities and expand capabilities for independent creators that are otherwise untenable, while keeping the human side of game dev at its core, especially in the indie genre.
Generative AI was used during the development process to assist in creating 2D visual assets, including the character art (the cyber cat) and promotional imagery. These assets were pre-generated and are included as static files within the application.
AI has been used as a helping tool for minor tasks during the prototyping and development phase (debugging, generating placeholders, etc). There are a few AI generated 3D models used in the final version of the game, but everything else has been replaced with human-made and -written content.
Generative AI was used solely to assist in creating promotional materials and store page visuals.
All in-game content is human-created and does not involve generative AI.
本游戏部分素材使用了生成式人工智能技术:
1、男性配角的立绘由 AI 生成。(AI仅生成男性配角立绘)
2、部分背景图像基于 AI 生成内容创作。(背景画面为我们团队在dlsite、booth网站上付费购买所得,其中一些购买页面中有标注AI生成的情况)
所有角色配音、剧本、核心美术及程序相关内容均由人工团队完成,AI 仅作为辅助工具用于提升制作效率。
This game includes AI-generated content. Voice lines were created using ElevenLabs AI voice synthesis technology. Some sound effects were generated using AI tools. The intro sequence features AI-generated images that were heavily edited and manipulated in Adobe Photoshop as part of the artistic process.
Generative AI tools were used as part of the creative workflow to help produce certain marketing and promotional assets, such as concept artwork and store page imagery.
The game itself, including all gameplay, mechanics, in-game assets, and narrative content, is developed by a human team.
No generative AI is used to create live or dynamic content within the game.
Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in-game assets. All AI outputs were reviewed and curated by our team to meet our quality standards. No AI outputs are used to replace core gameplay design decisions or narrative direction.
Hello! The card illustrations in this work were created with the help of AI, which supported me in developing this independent game. I apologize for my limited art skills, so I’ve mainly kept a minimalist style throughout the game.
As a solo developer I did lean on a bit of AI for assisting me with the Title Screen and Steam Capsule Artwork though I did a lot of paint over in Photoshop. A few of the SFX are AI generated.
This game was developed with the assistance of generative AI tools:
- Game narratives, dialogue, and descriptive text were written collaboratively with AI assistance and edited by humans
- Cover artwork was generated using AI image generation tools based on human-created prompts and edited by humans
- Game code and engine systems were developed with AI programming assistance
All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by human developers to ensure quality and consistency.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence tools in the creation of visual assets, including character art and background illustrations. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, curated, and integrated into the game by the developer to ensure consistency with the artistic direction and narrative tone.
The game is being developed by a small team. To speed up development, we used artificial intelligence for character design. We'll also be using AI for voiceovers and other features in the game.
After I personally finalized the design phase, some art assets were first rendered using generative AI tools, and I then manually refined and detailed them.
Similarly, certain background music pieces were developed with the help of generative AI tools.
Should you have any concerns about these methods, please feel free to experience the game according to your own preferences. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
Image generation for fictional players (“NEWgens”) – creating visual portraits for entirely fictional characters.
Localization support – assisting in the translation and adaptation of in-game text into different languages.
This title uses generative AI tools to assist in the creation of some written content and visual assets. All AI-assisted content is curated, edited, and finalized by the developer, and no AI-generated content is created dynamically during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to help code the game, create music, create sound effects (including voice lines), and create marketing assets such as the capsule and other images.
This game utilizes generative AI tools to assist in the creation of visual assets, specifically sprites, as well as for generating in-game text for English language.
This game includes pre-generated assets created with generative AI tools during development. Visual artwork was generated using Midjourney and music was generated using Suno, and these assets were curated and integrated by the developer as part of the game's creative pipeline.
The narrative, game design, and dialogue were written by the developer, and the game runs on a custom-built engine developed specifically for this project.
The game does not generate AI content dynamically during gameplay.
All visual assets in the game, including character portraits, backgrounds, user interface (UI) elements, icons, and menus, were created using generative Artificial Intelligence tools. Additionally, all the background music and musical tracks were also composed and generated using AI. All of these assets are pre-rendered during development ; there is no live AI generation occurring in real-time while the user is playing.
Some promotional visual assets (such as capsule images and store graphics) were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and were then reviewed, edited, and finalized by the development team.
No generative AI is used during gameplay or to create real-time in-game content.
Generative AI tools were used during the development process for coding assistance and creating certain visual textures or artistic assets. All final assets have been reviewed and refined by the developer to ensure they align with the game's unique cyberpunk and steampunk art style.
A limited number of background images and sprites were created with generative AI. Most assets and all gameplay were created manually, the other rest is self-created or from the Unity Asset Store.
Some artworks and voiceovers were created with AI assistance and enchanced per me. As a solo developer, this helps me save time so I can focus more on fun gameplay quality, balance, and polishing.
I used generative AI tools to assist parts of production, including writing support (proofreading/translation) and the creation of some visual elements. AI was used to generate or iterate on specific visual assets (e.g., promotional images and/or certain 2D visuals), which were then curated and edited by me. Core development decisions (game design, implementation, narrative structure, and final integration) were made by me, and all AI-assisted outputs were reviewed and adjusted to fit the game’s artistic direction.
- Character profile images were generated using AI tools, then reviewed and edited by the developer to fit the game's art direction.
- AI-assisted tools were used in parts of the development process.
- No AI content is generated during gameplay. All in-game experiences are designed and curated by the developer.
Generative AI was used strictly as a technical tool to digitize original, hand-drawn pencil sketches. Each asset in the game reflects the developer’s physical drawings 1:1, with AI only assisting in the translation of paper lines into a clean digital format. No additional details or artistic elements were generated by the AI. All final styling, including the 'blueprint' aesthetic, was performed manually by the developer in graphic design software
