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.
Generative AI is used as a development aid for research, information analysis, routine technical tasks, and assistance with drafting and editing text for the Steam store page. No AI-generated 2D or 3D artwork, audio, or live-generated content is included in the game. The game's concept, creative direction, design, and implementation are the work of the developer.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in creating some pre-generated visual assets and marketing materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, and adjusted by the developer before being included in the game or on its Steam store page. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.
AI was used as a coding assistant during development, and for translations.
I’m a software engineer with 25 years of programming experience. I used AI to help with technical implementation while I focused on the game’s design, systems, balance, and overall feel.
The store page images for Timberland — the key art, capsules, logo and icon — were created with generative AI tools and then edited by hand. The screenshots are real gameplay, unretouched.
Part of the code was also written with the help of an AI assistant. Game design, world generation, mechanics and the remaining textures are the developer's own work.
Generative AI tools were used as development aids to help draft and iterate on portions of the game’s code, written content, and Steam store description. All AI-assisted material was reviewed, modified, and approved by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create selected pre-generated textures, sound effects, and promotional artwork. These materials are used as individual components within the game and its marketing rather than being generated dynamically.
AI-assisted materials are selected, edited, adapted, composed, and integrated by the developer to fit the game's original visual and audio direction. The game's design, gameplay systems, implementation, world building, and overall creative direction are developed by the developer.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while running.
Generative AI was used to create musical compositions for fictional K-pop groups. All such content was created in advance; the AI does not generate new content during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used as development assistants, including assistance drafting and editing portions of store-page marketing text. All player-facing content is reviewed and edited by the developer. Main Street Operator does not use generative AI during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while the game is running.
Generative AI was used as part of the development process to assist with the creation and refinement of select visual assets, including concept art, graphical elements, and promotional artwork. AI-generated content is reviewed and modified by the development team before being included in the game or its associated materials.
Generative AI tools were used as part of the production process to assist in creating and refining some 2D artwork and visual assets. All such content is pre-generated and reviewed before being included in the game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

I'm an indie dev with a day job. Using AI made building this game possible. I built this game for the fun of it and have no interest in paying thousands or even hundreds of dollars to artists for a little side hobby.
About Generative AI Content
We want to be transparent with our players about how AI was used during the development of this game:
Visual Art: Certain visual assets and background elements in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then reviewed and integrated by our team.
Code & Development: We utilized AI-powered coding assistant and large language models to help prototype, write, and optimize parts of the game's code to speed up development efficiency.
All AI-generated outputs shipped to players have been curated to ensure they meet our quality standards for your experience.
This game uses generative AI in the following ways:
Music — tracks were built from AI-generated material, then edited and arranged by hand.
Title artwork — an AI-generated rough was used as reference and redrawn by hand as pixel art.
English localization — the English text was machine-translated and then reviewed and corrected by the developer.
Code — parts of the game's code were written with AI assistance.
Everything else is made by the developer by hand: all 145 in-game icons, every UI image, the cigarette package illustrations, and the achievement icons.
Vestibule's pixel art was generated with an AI art tool, with every design directed, refined, and hand-edited by the developer. Individual trailer and cinematic clips were generated with an AI video tool, built from the game's own artwork and developer-written scene descriptions — the final edit, scene sequencing, and music timing were done manually by the developer in After Effects. All game design, systems, writing, and code are original work.
All historical data is researched and verified by the developer from published records. Some in-game descriptive text (event descriptions, class histories) and the player's guide were drafted with AI assistance under the developer's editorial control and review. No AI-generated artwork, audio or photographs are used.
Crappy Corp uses a small amount of pre-generated AI content, all created
during development and shipped as fixed assets: the looping background
video on the main menu, and the game's achievement icons. Both were made
with AI image and video tools and then edited and finished by hand.
Parts of the game's code were also written with AI assistance.
Everything else is not AI generated. The 3D models, characters,
environments and animations are licensed commercial asset packs or made
by us, and all sound effects and music come from licensed sound
libraries. The in-game crew voice is Steam voice chat between real
players, not synthesized speech.
No AI content is generated while you play.
Some of this game's content was created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development: portions of the game's code, some text, and music tracks, and is reviewed by the developer before shipping. The game does not generate AI content at runtime.
We used AI tools during development: part of the source code was written with an AI
assistant, and part of the pixel art was generated with PixelLab. Everything was
reviewed, edited and tested by the developer by hand. The game generates nothing at
runtime — all content is fixed in the build and identical for every player.
I (Sean) use AI coding assistants: GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. I've written software for years and I teach games programming at university, and I use AI tools the way I use a profiler or a compiler. They helped build web tools Dave and I use to balance the ecosystem across long simulations, they're very good at finding edge-case bugs (I'm looking at you, pathing system), and they write the boilerplate for things like save states and UI. I never ship code I haven't read and thoroughly tested.
No content in this game is AI-generated, and no generative AI runs while you play.
Every sound, art and music asset in this game was made by a human. The game started out as the idea of “Asset Safari” around the concept of buying sprite packs from artists, which is what we have done. The music, sound and writing is also all human generated.
