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.
This game includes limited use of generative AI during development.
Generative AI was used in the creation of the game’s logo and certain background visuals, and was used to generate a small number of sound effects.
Additional audio assets were sourced from third-party asset stores and integrated into the project in accordance with their licenses.
All remaining content, including gameplay design, implementation, art, and systems, was created directly by the developer.
No generative AI is used during gameplay and it does not affect the player experience.
Some in-game scenes are AI-generated and then manually post-processed.
The character artwork in the game is AI-generated and subsequently refined by hand.
We used generative-AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT/OpenAI image generation and PlaygroundAI) to create some pre-rendered 2D art such as backgrounds, character illustrations, and other ingame asset images. No live AI or code generation occurs during gameplay, and players do not provide prompts. All outputs were human reviewed and edited, and created under licenses permitting commercial use; we avoid copyrighted characters and real-person likenesses.
Some images were generated by the gpt chat, in addition to the implementation of some systems, artificial intelligence was used, and artificial intelligence was also used for music.
This game incorporates generative AI technology in the creation of its pixel art, environments, spritesheets, and animations. All AI-generated assets have been curated, edited, and integrated by our development team to ensure they align with the game's artistic vision and Lovecraftian themes. We are committed to transparency in our use of AI tools to enhance creativity and efficiency.
Our game utilizes artificial intelligence to accelerate the graphic creation process. However, each image has been carefully hand-polished to ensure the highest possible quality and detail.
This game contains pre-created images that were generated using generative AI.
The AI content is used only as static graphics within the game and in marketing materials.
No AI generation takes place during the runtime of the game.
AI tools were used only in a few short CG trailer segments to assist production. All other parts—including gameplay footage in the trailer and the game itself—do not use AI. Even in those CG segments, the content was carefully refined and post-processed by hand to ensure quality and presentation close to human-made standards.
This game uses AI-generated music and sound effects. These are created using licensed tools and reviewed by the development team for quality and originality. No external AI services are connected during gameplay.
Generative AI is currently used to create certain pre-rendered visual assets, including promotional artwork and some in-game visuals.
All gameplay systems, mechanics, and code are developed manually.
The store page materials, game main interface background image, loading interface background image, and card artwork are all generated by artificial intelligence
The game uses pre-created images (background illustrations and some in-game items) generated using generative AI tools. All such content has been edited, stylized, and integrated by the development team, and will be replaced before release.
AI should not take away people's jobs and turn paintings into posters, which is why DarkShine is developed as much as possible by human hands and their exuberant artistic impulses. In some rare moments, such as improving blurred textures and mechanical issues, it acts as an assistant where it is necessary to write a complex system with complex and comprehensive code without involving highly paid specialists. The majority of the game is the work of a living person with all their small achievements and mistakes.
In the development of the game, generative AI models were employed for the following purposes:
Generating reference imagery and concept sketches for 3D character and environment designs
Producing prototype visuals for certain user-interface (UI) elements
Facilitating rapid, consistent translation of in-game text for multilingual support
All AI-generated assets were rigorously reviewed by our team to ensure originality and meet quality standards; manual refinements were applied where necessary. No real-time content generation, gameplay logic, or code creation relies on AI during runtime.
Some visuals and text were created using AI tools during development.
This includes pre-rendered assets such as UI elements, environmental images, and some text used.
During the development of this game, we utilized artificial intelligence tools to assist in the creation of some of our visual assets. Every element was then manually reviewed, refined, and integrated by our artists to ensure artistic consistency and high quality.
This game uses pre-rendered AI-generated content. AI was used to create some static visual assets, including the main menu artwork and base models for in-game avatars. These assets are not generated at runtime. Gameplay systems, logic, and final implementation are authored by the developer, with AI also used as a coding assistance tool during development.
We integrate artificial intelligence solely as a creative assistance tool during pre-production and artistic exploration phases.
Specifically, we use image generators to produce preliminary concept art, explore different visual directions, and accelerate iteration on our graphic ideas.
AI serves only as a source of inspiration, while the entire final content is fully created, curated, and refined by our human team.
Generated images are never used as-is in the final product.
Every visual element in the game (textures, characters, environments, illustrations, etc.) is recreated, retouched, painted, recomposed, or manually validated by our artists to ensure:
originality of the content,
respect for copyright,
artistic consistency,
and compliance with Steam/Valve guidelines.
AI does not contribute to the generation of final assets, 3D models, animations, sounds, or any other elements directly integrated into the game.
Its role is strictly limited to providing visual references, aesthetic guidance, and starting points to help our team work more efficiently.
This approach allows us to maintain a strong and authentic artistic identity while benefiting from a more fluid, inspiring, and innovative creation process — directly reflected in the quality, coherence, and originality of our game.
Some of the 2D background art and promotional visuals were created with the help of AI image generation tools, then edited and integrated by hand. No gameplay-related logic or text was generated with AI.
In the game, AI (DeepSeek) was used to create some natural landscape images, such as mountains, forests, houses, and fantasy spaces. All the above-mentioned content consists of images. Furthermore, all these elements were generated entirely by AI (DeepSeek) based on brief textual descriptions, created from scratch without involving any copyrighted human figures or existing images. Beyond this, no other content in the game was created by AI (DeepSeek).
We use AI to generate character concept art and make refined adjustments to align with the game's atmosphere and immersion.
Some music is generated by AI.
