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.
Some images and translations used in the game and its marketing materials were created or assisted using generative AI tools only when necessary. The majority of the assets were created by human artists and contributors. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and integrated by the development team before inclusion.
We use AI to generate content for the game such as text descriptions, some images like npc portraits and ware items and to generate some stories to create immersion in the game.
We also generate some voicing for dialogs using licensed voices.
We also generate some other sounds such as sound effects (wind, sea waves)
All content text, images, voices or sounds are reviewed manually by a human to verify the content and licensing aspects.
Portions of the game's code were written with AI assistance and reviewed, tested and integrated by the developer. Localization into non-English languages was machine-assisted and human-reviewed. Some 2D concept/marketing artwork was AI-assisted and manually refined. All gameplay, game design and audio are human-made. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
Some assets like the games base cover art images are generated by AI so we can provide a large curated selection for each genre, topic and gaming generation.
We used a Gen AI powered tool to localize the following:
- (in some languages) In-game text
- (in some languages) Steam store descriptions
We plan to replace these with human translation and LQA when we can afford it.
Until then, we are using Gen AI temporarily.
Crystal Keeper is made by one person. I used generative AI tools during development to help create some of the game's assets, such as artwork and music, every asset was hand-picked and integrated by me. No AI is used at runtime: nothing is generated while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create or process some pre-generated voice audio and selected 2D visual assets, including stylized character and news-related images.
All AI-assisted content is created before release and manually reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game.
No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input or data is sent to generative AI services.
Generative AI was used in parts of this project: the animated story cutscenes were brought to life with AI tools from original artwork drawn by the developer; the game's music, most of its sound effects, some in-game images such as the main menu, its logo and some promotional material, the store-page translations, and the English and Turkish in-game text were also created with generative AI tools. The gameplay itself — its systems, characters, environments and screenshots — is authentic and shows the real game. No AI is used to generate content during gameplay.
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.
Load Factor's player-facing content its data, simulation, art, and text is authored by us, not generated by AI. During development we used AI-assisted coding tools to help write and review source code, in the same way modern IDEs offer AI assistance. No artwork, audio, writing, or localization shipped in the game is AI-generated, and the game does not generate any content using AI while you play.
I used AI as an aid for a few things: parts of the writing, the translations into
French, Spanish and Italian, and some of the more complex store artwork. Everything
that came out of it was reworked by hand before it went in. It isn't something I'm a
fan of, but as a solo developer without a studio behind me, some things are simply out
of reach otherwise.
AI was used during development to assist with the creation of certain visual elements.
All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer before being integrated into the game.
The game's menu interface and Steam store page assets (capsule images and other promotional artwork) were designed with the assistance of an AI-based design tool. All other art, environments, characters, and audio in the game were created without the use of generative AI.
Pixel art assets, in-game text translation to other languages were produced with AI assistance during development and edited by the developer. No content is generated at runtime.
Investors and characters respond to the business idea you type, because a language model re-words our hand-written dialogue at runtime. It only changes wording — never numbers, outcomes, or anything in your save. If a generation fails, you get the hand-written line instead.
Your product illustration is generated from your own idea text.
This game uses generative AI during development to assist with selected artwork, relic and character illustrations, and limited text drafts. All generated material was created offline during development, then manually reviewed, edited, integrated, and quality-checked before being included in the game.
The game does not generate images, audio, text, code, or other content in real time, and it does not send player data or game content to external AI services during gameplay.
Some art assets were initially created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then manually edited and finalized by the developer. AI tools were also used to assist with multilingual localization.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating pre-generated visual assets for the game, including character and hero artwork, team logos, backgrounds, interface elements, and other decorative assets. All generated content is reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated into the game by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
I’m a broke college student and don’t have the budget to hire a professional artist for everything, so generative AI was used to help create some marketing and promotional artwork for the game do forgive me.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine selected 2D artwork and UI elements, and to assist with some narrative text and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate content using AI during gameplay.
About 10% of this game’s art assets were created with AI-assisted design, including some combat scenes and talent icons. All AI-generated content was reviewed, adjusted, and polished by artists. The remaining art assets were hand-crafted.
Terran Dawn is a solo-developed game, and generative AI tools were used
during its production. Everything AI-assisted is created ahead of time and
shipped as fixed files inside the build: the game generates nothing while
you play, contacts no AI service at runtime, and sends no player data
anywhere.
Where these tools were used:
- 3D assets: ship, station and building meshes were produced with AI
text-to-3D generation, then rescaled, re-oriented, re-textured and
hand-corrected to fit the engine.
- 2D art and textures: interface illustrations, encyclopedia art and some
surface textures were generated from hand-written prompts and edited
afterwards.
- Sound effects: a portion of the weapon, interface and explosion sounds
were generated with AI audio tools, then trimmed and mixed by hand.
- Music: the soundtrack was created with AI music generation.
- Voice-over: mission briefings and in-mission radio lines are AI
text-to-speech, performed from scripts written by the developer.
- Video transmissions: the in-game character broadcasts use a licensed
synthetic presenter and synthetic voice to deliver dialogue written by
the developer.
- Translation: the game's text was translated into its supported languages
with the help of an AI language model.
- Some of the game's source code was written with AI coding assistants.
The game's design, story, missions, rules and balance are written by the
developer. No generative AI runs while the game is playing.
Generative AI tools were used during the development of this game to assist with programming, debugging, translation, and content creation. Some artwork, text, and other assets were also generated or processed with the assistance of generative AI, then reviewed and edited by the development team. The game does not use generative AI at runtime or generate content in response to player input. The development team remains responsible for all content included in the final game.
AI-assisted tools were used solely during development to support programming tasks such as coding, debugging, and refactoring. All resulting code was reviewed, tested, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate content using AI during gameplay.
Some pre-rendered assets in this game and its store presence were created with the assistance of generative AI tools: portions of the 2D artwork (such as backdrop and ramp textures, marketing and capsule images) and some sound effects. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before inclusion. The game's design, code, gameplay systems, writing, and balance are entirely human-made. No content is generated by AI at runtime.
Ebru Artist Simulator uses generative AI-assisted artwork for a small number of textures and UI icons. AI is not used in any other aspect of the game, and we are currently working to replace these AI-assisted visuals before the full release.
Generative AI was used to create some of the image and sound assets used in the game. These include character illustrations, card artwork, design elements, and some sound assets. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited as necessary by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI was used for some of the game's 2D artwork and for localizing in-game and store text into 8 languages, all reviewed by the developer.No content is generated by AI while you play.
The game uses a wide variety of artificial intelligence products in the art creation process. Ranging from 3d model generation to 2D art, music and sound effects.
Development of this game uses AI coding agents. Some procedural shader code shipping in the game was written by coding agents following human-made designs. All designs, music, and art styles are created by humans. All in-game text is written or edited by a human before release; no generated text ships unreviewed. No AI content is generated at runtime.
Portions of this game were created with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, as detailed below:
· Art assets: In-game item icons, character portraits, and grotto building sprites were produced using AI image generation tools during the creative process, then curated, modified, and integrated by the development team.
· Text content: Certain narrative text, item descriptions, and multilingual localization translations were drafted with the assistance of AI language models, and subsequently reviewed and revised by hand.
· Real-time NPC dialogue: The game features an optional NPC dialogue system through which players may configure their own large language model API to have NPCs generate dialogue in real time. This feature is entirely optional; when not configured, the game uses built-in pre-written dialogue lines.
