Public Steam disclosure research25,514 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.
We used AI to create the language for the game's store page and some of the visual assets. Specifically, the library images were generated using AI tools to ensure a high-quality and polished presentation. We aimed to deliver visually appealing content that matches the style and atmosphere of the game.
AI-Assisted Development and Marketing
We believe in leveraging modern tools to enhance our workflow, and that includes using AI for various aspects of our project. For example:
We use ChatGPT to help us refine our English and ensure our communication is clear and engaging.
For quick and efficient mood boarding, we use MidJourney to generate visual concepts that inspire our creative process.
Once the game is complete, we plan to use ChatGPT to assist with translations, making the game accessible in 80+ languages.
These tools allow us to focus more on the creative process and make sure our community receives regular updates and clear communication across the globe.
We used AI tools for the following elements in the game:
- Translation of the experimental in-game languages
- Some textures (primarily wall pictures and item icons)
- Three sound effects
Why We Used AI:
We are two developers working with limited resources and without external funding or a publisher.
All other assets including 3D models, other textures, sound design, rigging, animations, story, music, and programming, were created by us.
Our goal was to achieve a distinct visual and atmospheric style that avoids both hand-painted aesthetics and asset flipping. Instead, we aimed for a more grounded, realistic look, and selectively used AI tools to support this vision.
Visual assets for the Store Page and Steam Library (including header images, background art, and the base design of the game logo) were created with the assistance of Generative AI.
Pre-generated Content: The marketing and branding materials were conceptualized using AI tools, followed by extensive manual editing, polishing, and compositing to ensure alignment with the game's minimalist aesthetic.
Live-generated Content: The game does not feature any live-generated AI content during gameplay.
The vast majority of art materials in this game are generated using AI. But the generated art materials are mostly scenes, food, tables, chairs, benches, etc., so there is no copyright issue.
As a game that serves as a commentary on AI, several images used in the game were generated by AI to serve as illustrative examples of the kind of output that AI produces.
Our Policy for AI Use
Even if, and disclose from time to time that, we use AI in some of our products, it never means that our product consists of AI-generated content, which is simply impossible but may be presumed by some people. We continue our due diligence and necessary efforts to come up with the best content.
AI is a field that we keep track of and welcome curiously and excitedly. It is something not the world gives us but what we get from the world according to our requirements.
However,
We always consider the rights of commercial and ethical use of AI. Therefore, we subscribe to their content, pay their respective fee, and keep their receipts/licenses.
How may we use AI?
We may use outsourced AI in a number of different ways in addition to our own in-game AI mechanics, as it gives us uniqueness and originality as we like, and as long as its content is compliant with our above policy:
Sound files: We have a large collection of audio clips we have purchased and keep purchasing. We also have the means to make our own sound files. Sometimes we may also use AI-made sounds to make audio clips as well if we fail to find what we are looking for in our archive.
Graphics: We may use AI for some of our graphical assets. We have various means like software with which we can create characters, particularly our animated characters in the trailers and cutscenes, which are our own unique designs.
Ideas: We may chat with AI about whether an idea is suitable for the current genre we are working on. However, we plan to discontinue this use of AI as it lacks originality. For example, when we asked for the names of two female characters for a fantasy game, AI suggested “Anya and Ayleen.” They are obviously names used before and we needed to change the names of our two characters.
The above use of our AI may naturally appear on our store page as we include fragments from our game to introduce and promote it.
This policy may be subject to change depending on the developments, ethical considerations, and circumstances regarding the use of AI in the future.
The Uncultured is a unique simulation game developed by a solo developer. In this game, players can place various art pieces on their museum walls, all of which were generated using artificial intelligence. Additionally, most of the feedback and comments left by visitors on your artworks and museum were also AI-generated to enhance the game's immersive experience. The use of artificial intelligence in The Uncultured is limited to art creation and visitor commentary.
Some character portraits and visual elements were created with the assistance of generative AI tools as part of the art production process. All assets were curated, edited, and integrated to maintain a consistent artistic direction. As the game continues development, certain visual elements may be refined or replaced. AI-assisted tools may also be used to support translations.
Some of the store images are modified using artificial intelligence. In the game, the game background uses artificial intelligence, and some characters use artificial intelligence to make modifications on top of it.
AI image generation has been used for character graphics, backgrounds, other objects, and UI elements.
AI music generation has been partially used for the music.
Use of Generative AI
This game makes selective use of generative AI tools as part of its development pipeline.
Generative AI has been used to assist in the creation of certain visual elements, including concept art, some 3D environment assets, NPC prototyping, and promotional/store imagery. These tools are integrated as part of a broader creative workflow.
Some narrative texts, descriptions, and written content were generated, refined, or edited with the assistance of AI tools, based on original ideas, concepts, and direction provided by the author.
The core design, gameplay systems, level design, programming, balancing, and a significant portion of the art and world-building have been handcrafted and developed directly by the creator using industry-standard tools.
Generative AI is used as a complementary tool to enhance productivity and support creative iteration, while maintaining full creative direction and artistic control.
