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.
Dark Dream contains pre-generated AI-assisted content used exclusively for marketing and promotional materials. This includes certain Steam store assets such as capsules, banners, promotional artwork, and the game's promotional trailer.
The trailer was created using AI-assisted tools based on original characters, creatures, and creative concepts designed and owned by the studio.
The in-game experience does not generate content using AI, and no AI systems are used during gameplay.
Cutscene CG animations, background music and character artwork in this game are created via generative AI, with all assets pre-generated during development. All such content has been manually revised and reviewed to ensure full compliance with relevant requirements.
本游戏中的过场动画 CG 动画、背景音乐以及角色原画均是通过生成式 AI 技术制作而成，所有资产均在开发阶段预先生成。所有此类内容均已经过人工修订和审核，以确保完全符合相关要求。
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some character artwork and visual assets used in the game. All AI-generated content was reviewed, modified, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI is used to create content during gameplay.
All of the game's text was written by hand by Yohan Dupuy and translated by a qualified professional to achieve high-quality literary English (not AI). AI is only used partially for the visual and audio presentation.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, debugging, text drafting, and localization drafts. All final game content, code, text, and store materials are reviewed and edited by the developer before release. The game does not use AI to generate content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while running.
We want to be upfront about how AI tools were used during the development of Golden Years. This is a small indie project built mostly by hand, but a few AI assisted elements were used to help speed up production.
Where AI Was Used
A handful of environmental textures, about five or six total, were created or retextured using AI tools. These are simple surface materials used to add extra detail to the environment. Every AI assisted texture was manually edited, cleaned up, and adjusted to fit the game's style.
Where AI Was Not Used
All of the core creative work in Golden Years is fully handcrafted. This includes:
Level design and layout
Atmosphere, lighting, and mood
Gameplay systems and mechanics
Environmental storytelling
Overall direction and feel of the game
No AI tools were used to design gameplay, build levels, or shape the game's atmosphere.
Store Page and Descriptions
Some of the text on the Steam store page may use AI assistance for drafting or polishing. All final wording is reviewed and edited to make sure it accurately represents the game.
Gameplay Logic
AI is not used for in game decision making, player behavior, or gameplay logic. Everything that affects how the game plays is traditionally designed and implemented.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of certain sound effects and texture assets used in the game. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before being included in the final product.
The Event currently includes three AI-generated projector scenes used only as temporary placeholders, pending replacement with human-made artwork in the near future.(feel free to contact me for any possible collaborations)
Aside from these placeholder scenes, the remaining voice work, including the double voice effects, was created directly by the developer.
Generative AI was used to create some in-game radio audio, including text-to-speech announcements and background music tracks generated using AI tools.
We want to be fully transparent with our community about how we develop our game. In this project, we have integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools as an operational support for our team.
How we use it:
- Process optimization: It helps us streamline technical tasks and repetitive workflows.
- Efficiency: It allows us to deliver better work and move forward much faster.
- Resource maximization: It enables the team to save time on mechanical processes to focus on the final game polish.
Our commitment to craftsmanship:
- Total human control: No element of the final game has been left solely to AI.
- Expert review: Every technical asset or piece of content goes through a rigorous human editing filter.
- Manual work behind everything: Technology only optimizes our delivery times, but there is always genuine craftsmanship behind every asset.
- Guaranteed quality: We use AI to empower our team's capabilities, ensuring the essence and final finish of the game remain 100% human.
Thank you for your constant support!
Luna: Obscura is my creative vision (SOSOROS). I designed and built the game's world, levels, creatures, and visual identity over two years. ANORMIC joined in the final year to handle programming and sound design.
The art on the walls: Every painting and sculpture you encounter inside the base is an original, physical artwork. Acrylics painted by hand, sculptures made by hand, by me. No AI, no prints of someone else's work. They existed in the real world before they existed on the moon.
Cover art: The key art combines in-engine 3D renders, AI-assisted generation trained exclusively on my own handmade artworks and 3D sculpts, and extensive manual overpaint and compositing in Photoshop.
Cinematic sequences: The in-game sequences are hybrids, built from direct in-engine screenshots of our own levels and creatures, extended through AI generation. I'm not an animator, and producing these any other way was beyond the scope of a two-person project. I hope the results speak for themselves.
Sound effects & enemy audio: The vast majority of audio was composed and engineered by ANORMIC. For the game's altered human enemies (lunatics whose minds have been overtaken) we made a deliberate artistic choice to use AI-generated vocal sounds. The result is audio that feels disturbingly human but remains completely incomprehensible. AI voice sits in an uncanny valley, and that's exactly where these creatures live. This was a creative decision, not a compromise.
Remaining environmental assets were licensed through the Unreal Engine Marketplace.
Everything else, the levels, the creatures, the paintings, the world, is human made.
And yes, there's a contradiction here. A statement against AI in art, inside a game that used it. I won't pretend otherwise. These two years were me testing that edge firsthand: I used these tools, learned what they can genuinely do, and somewhere along the way my conscience gave me the answer. Even where the hybrid approach worked, and I think the sequences are an honest use of it, I'd rather learn to rig and animate myself for the next project, even if the result is rougher. I stand with artists, and I'd rather earn my skills than borrow them. Sometimes you have to cross a line to understand exactly where it should be drawn.
Where we stand: We're not against AI. We use it gladly where it belongs: code, tools, concepting aid, the invisible machinery of production, the same way we welcome it in medicine and science. But art is different. As creators whose own work has potentially been scraped to train these models without consent, we understand the weight of this disclosure more than most. Our position for future projects is firm: AI should not be in the end result, and where reality forces a compromise, it must remain a hybrid, grounded in our own hands and our own source material, never a replacement for them. We made honest decisions, we're transparent about every one of them, and we stand behind the result. The goal is simple: just the work.
We use AI to help generate our seamless 3D textures and certain in-game photos. The decision to use AI-generated images was made out of respect for individual privacy, by avoiding using real-life human references, we wanted to ensure no individuals or parties are misrepresented.
We are a small indie team of only two brothers, and all core gameplay mechanics, level design, story, programming, and animations were 100% handcrafted by us.
AI was used strictly for supplementary audio and minor environmental details: specifically, background music, ambient soundscapes, eerie sound effects, and select in-game textures/posters.
Some visual assets in this game (including 19 case file illustrations and the game icon) were created using generative AI tools during development and are embedded as static assets. The game does not use any real-time AI generation during gameplay. All player experiences are consistent and reproducible.
Generative AI tools were used to create the game's promotional logo, steam achievement icons, and background music prior to development (Pre-generated content).
Generative AI was used to assist with the localization of some in-game text in some languages. All AI-generated translations are reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.
Some visual assets in the game were created or assisted using AI-based tools during development. All generated content has been reviewed, modified, and integrated to fit the game's style and design.
This game uses AI-generated content, including art, music, code, and some narrative text. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated by the developer.
The overall concept, system design, content structure, debugging, and final quality control were completed independently by the developer.
Our development process incorporates some AI-assisted tools to help create ambient textures and environmental assets. All assets have been extensively refined and integrated by our artists to ensure they align with the game's unique PSX/VHS aesthetic. We are committed to maintaining a high-quality human-led artistic direction.
