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 is a one-person project — just me — and I used AI tools throughout development. All of it is pre-generated: the game doesn't make AI calls while you're playing, and it makes no network calls at all.
Most of the code was written with AI coding assistants. Some of the writing players see was drafted the same way and then edited by me: the word lists the game builds its procedural company names from, the achievement titles, and the templates behind the news items and company filings. Those get assembled in-game by ordinary seeded code, not by a model. The store page copy was drafted with AI help as well.
The app icon was made with an AI image generator. That same icon is also the Steam community icon, the Windows client icon, the store page background, and the base image for the achievement icons.
The rest of the art isn't AI-generated. The capsules and library assets are drawn programmatically from the game's own stylesheet and some seeded procedural drawing code, the screenshots are straight captures of the game running, and the audio is synthesized as you play rather than being generated audio files.
Scuttled was created by a solo developer working with an AI assistant. AI was used under the developer's direction to help write the game's code, its in-game text and story logs, the procedurally drawn artwork and music, and the store page materials, including the key art and trailer. All of it was reviewed, revised, and approved by the developer. The game does not use AI at runtime: nothing is generated while you play, and everything you see and hear ships with the game exactly as authored.
Cigar Tycoon includes pre-generated AI-assisted content created during development, including some promotional artwork, store capsule and library artwork, and a small amount of magazine-style written content. The developer reviewed and edited this content before release. The game does not generate new content with AI during gameplay, does not connect to an external AI service, and does not send player data to an AI service.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of 2D concept art and background textures. The loading screen video is also made with generative AI. All final assets were manually edited and (if necessary) refined by the developer to match the game's art style.
Voice lines for the characters were generated using AI voice tools based on licensed models. The scripts were entirely written by humans, and the generated audio was manually edited where necessary.
Generative AI was used to create and refine some pre-generated visual assets, including the game logo and Steam store capsule artwork. All AI-assisted assets are reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
This game uses pre-generated AI only for certain UI background images and promotional store visuals. These assets were created before release and remain fixed. The game does not include any live AI generation during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to create the game's artwork, audio, localization, and promotional materials. All AI-generated content was personally reviewed, selected, directed, and refined by the developer before being included in the game. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Some 3D models and assets used in the game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then adapted, modified, and integrated into the game during development.
Dubstep: Solar System is an AI-assisted indie game — the studio name, Vibe Coded Reality, wears it proudly. Here is exactly how generative AI was used:
MUSIC: The entire 46-track original dubstep soundtrack was generated with Suno under a paid commercial license, from prompts written by the developer — every track hand-picked from multiple takes and play-tested against the game's beat-gate timing.
CODE: Much of the game's code was written with AI coding assistants working under the developer's direction; all game design, difficulty tuning, and play-testing are human work.
STORE ARTWORK: The cover and capsule artwork were created with AI image tools, then composed and typeset by the developer.
All in-game visuals are drawn procedurally by the game's own code — no AI-generated images appear inside the game itself, and nothing is generated by AI at runtime while you play.
Generative AI tools assisted with English Steam store-page copy, and were used to create pre-generated illustrative key art for Steam store capsules, library artwork, and the store-page background. All AI-assisted outputs are reviewed, edited, integrated, and tested by the developer. The artwork is promotional and is not presented as gameplay footage; screenshots and trailers are captured from the actual game. The game does not use generative AI at runtime or generate live player-facing content.
Some of the content shipping with this game was created using generative AI:
• Images: the title/loading screen, the store graphics (capsules) and the five faction portraits were generated with an image AI. • Audio: the title music, intro music, sector music tracks and the sound effects were created with AI tools. • Text: the store description was drafted with AI assistance.
All of this content was selected, reviewed and integrated by hand. Not AI-generated: the 3D world, the ships, stations and effects — those are built procedurally and in Blender. The source code was developed with AI assistance; we mention this for completeness, even though development tools are exempt from disclosure.
AI was used for localization, while being manually reviewed, and as a time-saving step in the development of some image and model assets, for retopology, concepting, and inbetweening.
The game contains no unmodified AI outputs.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of the game's code, hand-drawn-style visual elements, original music and audio, written text, and some store and community marketing materials. All included material was reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated by the developer.
The game does not use generative AI during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services. Its randomized meadows are created through conventional procedural generation.
All the art in Arcanum Solitarius, from the playing cards to the Arcana and the workshop backgrounds, was made with AI image generation using a model I trained myself. I was after one specific look: a medieval alchemist's workshop by candlelight, in aged parchment and dark walnut with verdigris and old gold. Most of the music was made the same way. I used AI to draft some of the in-game writing, then rewrote it into my own words. I picked and edited every piece before it went into the game, and the images on this page come from those same assets. Nothing is generated while you play.
RUSTCAN includes an optional live-generated AI guide called the Gnome. Players can ask the Gnome questions about gameplay, controls, progression, and the in-game world. The Gnome generates text responses at runtime through a server-side AI service.
Responses may be inaccurate and are provided for entertainment and gameplay guidance only. The Gnome does not provide professional, financial, medical, or legal advice.
Players access the feature after signing in, entering Hollow Pines, and selecting Ask the Gnome or speaking with the Gnome in town.
Requests require an authenticated RUSTCAN account and server-side application verification. Requests are rate-limited and monitored. Server-side input moderation blocks or flags severe illegal, exploitative, violent, self-harm, and other prohibited requests.
Generated replies are sanitized before display, and fallback responses are used when the AI service fails or produces no usable response. Players can report problems through the in-game bug/report tools.
Some visual assets, marketing materials, and/or text drafts may have been created or assisted with generative AI tools. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or store page.
AI Generation Disclosure
Abduction uses generative AI in limited, supporting ways during development — for example, assisting with asset preparation such as converting custom font designs into usable game fonts. All core game design, systems, art direction, and content are created and reviewed by the developer. Generative AI is a tool in the pipeline, not a substitute for the creative work behind the game.
This game contains artwork and narrative content created with
the assistance of generative AI. All AI-generated materials
have been carefully reviewed, selected, and edited by the
development team to ensure quality and consistency with the
game's vision.
We believe AI tools can support and accelerate the creative
process when used responsibly, and we remain committed to
maintaining creative oversight and storytelling integrity
throughout development.
Some of the artwork in this game was made with AI image generators and edited by hand afterwards. This covers the two player characters, the logo, the menu icons and the curtain texture. The English interface texts were written with the help of a language model and reviewed afterwards. The German texts are written by hand.
The bundled Pack Creator uses a speech recognition model to find the spoken parts of a video you supply yourself and turn them into the lines you read out. An AI noise filter for your microphone recordings and AI-based separation of speech and background audio work the same way. All of this runs locally on your own machine and never sends data to an external service. These models only process material you provide yourself, they do not invent content of their own, and the result stays inside your own lobby.
Most of the visual assets used in the game's promotional materials and Steam Store page were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools, and were subsequently selected and refined by the developer. The game's gameplay, level design, programming, and game logic were developed by the developer with input from AI throughout the development process. The game does not use AI to generate any content during gameplay.
This game is a solo project developed by a student. Due to limited resources and budget, Generative AI tools were utilized to create store page visuals and capsule designs, as well as to localize and draft store descriptions; these elements were personally edited, refined, and finalized by the developer.
Some of the assets in this game were created with the help of generative AI tools: part of the background music and sound effects, some of the 2D images and textures used in the game and on the store page, some of the 3D models, and part of the source code. Every AI-assisted asset was reviewed and adjusted by the developer before it was included in the game, and we do not knowingly use material that infringes the rights of third parties. This game does not generate any content with AI while it is running; NPC dialogue is randomly selected from text written in advance by the developer.
Guild Management Simulator began as an AI-assisted prototype. Generative AI tools were used during early development to assist with portions of programming, written game content, interface copy, design iteration, and the current Steam marketing artwork. All AI-assisted material is pre-generated and reviewed before inclusion. The game does not generate content while running, connect players to an AI service, or send player data to an AI system. The long-term goal is to replace AI-assisted material with original, developer-created work as the project is rebuilt in a dedicated game engine.
Most 2D art in this game — ships, enemies, bosses, icons and badges — was first created with AI image tools, then selected, edited and finalised by the developer. No AI is used during gameplay.
Darcnia Monster is made by a single independent developer. Some of the game's visual assets — background illustrations, cinematic scenes, and character and card artwork — were created with the help of generative AI image tools, and the in-game character voices were produced using AI voice synthesis. Every AI-assisted asset was hand-selected, edited, and integrated by the developer to match the game's art direction and story. No AI runs while you play: nothing is generated in real time, and no player data is ever sent to any AI service.
Generative AI tools were used during the art creation process to generate initial inspiration and drafts. All final art assets were then redrawn, refined, and finalized by the developer to ensure visual consistency, polish, and alignment with the game's overall tone.
Some raster artwork, interface and marketing artwork, sprite animation frames, and authored music were created with assistance from generative AI tools during development. All shipped output was artist-directed, reviewed, edited, and integrated specifically for Bunnyhop. No content is generated by AI while the game is running.
Some of the visual artwork in Coilbound — including character and card illustrations, environment art, and store assets — was created with the assistance of generative AI image tools during development. All generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer. Coilbound does not use any AI-generated content in real time during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create pre-generated 2D visual assets included in the game. These assets may include character, item, environment, and user interface artwork. All AI-generated assets are reviewed, selected, and adjusted by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not use generative AI during runtime and does not connect to any live generative AI service.
I write this game's code with the help of AI coding tools, and I review everything that ships. All the art is drawn by code — no AI image generation anywhere.
The enemy is a small neural network that trains locally on how you move. It only controls the eye's behavior, and it never generates art, text, or audio.
