Public Steam disclosure research25,380 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 voices for John, Ellie, Matt, and Becca. This is a temporary solution; we intend to replace these audio tracks with professional voice acting as soon as possible.
Art and Music was generated by AI.
Please note that we want to respect artists. No artist name or artist art have been used as reference for prompting. And the art used is very generic and doesn't not infringe any IP.
AI-generated content has been used and then edited by our team for certain parts of the in-game voices, music, and graphics.
This content is included in:
・Some parts of the background signboard textures
・Some parts of the Records images
・Some parts of the InfoCast videos
・Some parts of the voices and music
The two pieces of music and three mini visuals used in the game were created using artificial intelligence. All other visuals were hand-drawn, and all music was composed by musicians.
Character voices are produced by VOIVEVOX software and licensed by the voice owners.
Songs are sung by AI virtual singers of ACE software, and have obtained relevant commercial licenses.
The English text of this game is translated by AI Translator, and the translated text is from the game script.
We provide free AI speech synthesis sources to users within a limited budget, and the services come from several third-party commercial cloud service providers such as Microsoft and Alibaba Cloud.
The game banner was generated with AI based on a screenshot taken from our game. We chose a graphical style different from the one in-game.
We also used IA to generate musics for our game.
The Dark Cowboy is a solo-developed project created over several years in Unreal Engine. To achieve a cinematic experience as a single creator, AI tools were integrated into the production workflow in a few specific areas.
Cinematics & Visuals
Generative AI tools assisted in creating visual material for cinematic sequences, as well as static artwork for loading screens and promotional imagery.
Audio & Voice Performances
Character dialogue is performed using voice models derived from licensed human voice performances, alongside select atmospheric tracks to enhance the game’s immersive soundscape.
Writing & Localization
Language models assisted with editorial review of scripts and helped produce translations across the game's 14 supported languages.
All such elements were carefully directed, manually refined, and integrated by the developer to ensure they fully support the atmosphere and storytelling of The Dark Cowboy.
This game contains works created by use of AI in the creation of dialogue audio for the characters. All AI generated content was created as original works by the developer.
Angel Guardian was developed with the help of AI tools across our creative pipeline — including story development, dialogue, enemy balancing, difficulty tuning, concept art exploration, animation prototyping, music iteration, and voice experimentation.
AI acted as a creative accelerator, allowing us to rapidly test ideas, refine systems, and expand the scope of our world. All content was directed, curated, and finalized by our human development team.
**Disclosure on Use of Generative AI in Development**
*Lost Traces: False Awakening* and *Lost Traces: Genesis* are ambitious projects developed by a **small indie team**. To efficiently achieve the large scope and detail of the game's world, we made selective use of pre-generated tools during development.
This approach was strictly limited to foundational elements which were then heavily refined by human artists and engineers:
* **Character Designs (Images):** A portion of the initial character design concepts and visual elements (used on the store page and in-game) were informed by licensed image generation tools, such as **Stable Diffusion**. Every single piece of content has since been **manually edited, digitally painted, and extensively refined** by our artists to ensure unique visual identity and high quality.
* **Voice Dialogue (Audio):** A portion of the in-game voice dialogue was generated using licensed text-to-speech or AI voice tools. This audio was subsequently run through **professional editing, mastering, and processing** to ensure vocal quality, pacing, and consistency across the game's soundscape.
Our team maintains **full creative and artistic control** over all final assets. We did not use any AI tools to generate content *live* during gameplay.
This application allows usage of elevenlab's text to speech feature. Shall the user choose to use this feature, they should create an account over elevenlabs.com and import their API key. It's entirely optional and subject to both Noise-o-matic's EULA as well as elevenlab's EULA.
The TTS feature also uses Sherpa TTS. Some of the redistributable models available from Sherpa's project (https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx/releases/tag/asr-models) are downloadable in-app.
For the MVP of the Development version of the game 3D models, 2D sprites, sound and music are part wise AI generated. These assets will not be used for the release of the game but instead replaced by human-made assets.
We have used AI-generated content for player-selectable BGM and cover images in the game lobby, as well as voice-overs. Among these, all voice-overs have been completely replaced with professional voice actors' recordings in time for the Early Access release. We are currently conducting an internal investigation regarding unconfirmed content, and all confirmed AI-generated assets will be replaced with human-created assets by the official 1.0 release.
Narrator uses AI voice over work as a placeholder.
Currently the final game is slotted to feature 100% human actors for maximum expression. An example of this is the demo's ending cutscene.
AI was used to generate initial assets for the ship's computer voice, nebula backgrounds, and some translations, all of which were subsequently refined by the developer.
AI has been used in a limited way* for the following aspects: Text Localization, Speech Localization and Musical Audio.
*The base was AI-generated, but the transformative creation built upon it stands as an original work. (Text was controlled by a human, the voice and musical audio were edited and reworked by a human)
As a small independent development team with limited resources, we used AI-based tools to assist with certain aspects of content creation, including textures, audio, and in-game video elements (such as VHS-style footage). All final content was carefully reviewed, refined, and manually reworked by the development team including additional re-texturing to ensure it reflects our creative vision.
Some dialogues feature AI-generated voices. Parts of the marketing assets - including store texts other than english or german- are modified / localized with AI.
Core design elements including units, animations, visual effects and sound effects were all created by real artists. AI tools were used solely for supporting assets like background images, portraits, buttons, and background music. These AI-generated assets were subsequently modified by our team. This approach enabled our three-person team to concentrate on core design and game mechanics.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with early concept art exploration, general coding support, and the creation of background music (BGM).
All in-game assets, gameplay systems, level design, and final implementation are fully handcrafted and curated by the developer. No AI-generated content is created dynamically during gameplay.
I did some loading screen of the games with DALL-E with a paid + program of OpenAI.
