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 uses generative AI in a limited capacity. Some in-game images and text were created or assisted by AI during development, but they are not entirely AI-generated. All such content has been manually edited, reviewed, and integrated by the developer to ensure consistency with the overall design and experience.
This game uses generative AI in several components. As a solo/small developer, the project wouldn't be feasible without it, but my goal is to fund human-created replacements through the game's revenue after early acces release.
Artwork-
AI generates the base/reference character sprites, which I then paint over and animate by hand.
Item and tileset sprites follow the same treatment, some items may remain unedited in early access to be reviewed later.
Music - AI generated music with rights held by Bonehead Labs.
Capsule art - combination of AI generation and hand-work.
This game uses generative AI for some NPC images and background music.
These assets are reviewed and adjusted by the developer before being implemented in the game.
This game uses generative AI tools for the creation of some non-gameplay content, including portions of promotional artwork, visual concepts, and certain localized translations.
All gameplay systems, programming, game design, balancing, and the final integration of assets are created and curated by the developer. AI-generated content is reviewed, edited, and refined before being used in the game or store materials.
This project is being developed by a small two-person team.
The use of AI tools in this project is strictly limited to the following assets:
- flag textures
- selected marketing assets and voice lines
We plan to replace these elements with fully original, custom-created assets and professionally recorded voice acting as soon as funding allows.
All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team to ensure consistency and quality.
This game contains content created with the assistance of generative AI during development.
Generative AI tools were used to help create and iterate on parts of the game code, sound effects, music, artwork, images, and multilingual translations. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, selected, and integrated by the developer.
The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.
The vast majority of this game's content is hand-drawn and manually crafted. Generative AI was utilized only as a supportive tool for certain concept designs and ambient sound effects. Every asset has undergone manual correction and thorough refinement to ensure it perfectly aligns with the game’s unique quirky-comic art style.
Generative AI was used in a limited capacity during development.
It was primarily utilized for prototyping certain textures and creating visual references.
Additionally, AI was used to generate a vocal track featured in the game's intro sequence.
All other music, as well as the majority of visual and gameplay content, has been created manually.
AI assisted tools were used solely for localization and translation of game text and will be replaced by human translations as soon as I am able to afford it. No gameplay systems, visual assets, audio, or runtime content are generated using AI
AI tools were used to create the game's logo and the store page's marketing assets (capsules). All other in-game assets have been replaced with manually created graphics. The AI-generated base marketing materials and logo were subsequently edited and modified manually before integration.
This game uses AI-generated content in the following areas: select voice lines were produced using text-to-speech, and some store page artwork and marketing capsule images were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools. All core gameplay art, sprites, game mechanics, code, and level design were not generated by AI.
Unfortunately I'm very bad at drawing, so I used Gen AI to create graphical resources for pilots, Mephisto heads, crew images, ships sprites and background images.
Portions of the game’s visual assets and text content were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure quality and consistency. The game does not use generative AI at runtime.
Some non-core gameplay code and development assistance were generated with the help of generative AI tools during development. All gameplay design, final implementation, and creative decisions were reviewed and integrated by the developer.
Some visual assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and further refined and curated by the developer. No live AI generation occurs during gameplay.
A limited number of visual assets (such as certain icons and ship concepts) were created using AI-assisted tools and refined by the developer. All gameplay systems, core content, and procedural planet simulations are original.
The store promotional images were generated using AI with manual modifications. Some in-game upgrade icons were generated using AI and then manually refined. Most of the game's multilingual translations were created using AI.
Generative AI was used during development for early ideation (e.g., concept exploration and/or placeholder text). Any content shipped in the game is reviewed, curated, and edited by the developer.
Store page capsule images and promotional art created with AI assistance
Some of the promotional and storefront images were created with AI tools and then refined by hand. All of the in-game assets were designed by a 3D artist.
Development uses AI tools as coding assistants to optimize scripts and refactor systems. Some UI icons and graphic elements may have been generated or iterated with AI assistance, but all were manually reviewed and edited to ensure final quality.
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.
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.
Artificial Intelligence was only used to create the store page icons and the in game welcome screen. All gameplay code, mechanics, artwork, and sound was naturally created.
Portions of the game's source code were authored with the assistance of AI tools. All AI-assisted code has been manually reviewed, refined, and tested by the development team.
Generative AI was used to create the promotional artwork (capsules and banners) for the store page. In-game, the soldiers' voices were generated using AI text-to-speech technologies.
