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.
Environments and environmental artwork are not created using generative AI.
Generative AI is used as part of the early development workflow for prototyping some creature artwork, which is going to be replaced during development.
This game includes content created with the help of AI during development.
Images (34): backgrounds, the logo and in-game objects were created using OpenAI's image generation (gpt-image), then edited by the developer.
34 of the 66 sprites in the shipping build originate this way.
UI elements and one texture (13) and sound effects (21): these were designed by AI (Claude) and implemented as the developer's own program code. They are not the output of an image or audio generation model; the shapes and waveforms are produced by deterministic processing.
The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
Music is licensed from a purchased royalty-free library and involves no
AI. Stage design is the developer's own work.
Coquí Crusader was made with AI-assisted tools under the developer's direction.
The coquí mascot logo and the background music were AI-generated. AI coding assistance was used to build the game and to help write its in-game and store text, all reviewed by the developer.
Every design decision was made by the developer: the mechanics, the progression and balance, and the Puerto Rican setting — the ten zones based on real landmarks, the folklore creatures from Taíno legend, and the Spanish localization.
No content is generated during gameplay, and the game never connects to any external AI service.
Some of the promotional artwork, store page banners, and/or trailer visuals for Ascend Idle: Chronicles were created with the assistance of Generative AI tools. The core game code and design were developed entirely by hand as a solo project.
I'm a solo developer, and I'd rather be upfront about where AI tools were used.
The character base meshes and some of their textures were generated with AI.
Every one of them was then brought into Blender and worked over by hand. Cleaned up, edited, re-textured and animated before it went anywhere near the game.
They're all rendered with a toon shader I wrote myself.
Everything else is made by hand.
The tavern, the props and the whole environment are hand modeled.
Other than that, everything else in the game was made by me.
Select visual artwork used in Comic Shop Tycoon, including some in-game comic and product artwork as well as Steam promotional artwork, was created using generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is pre-generated and fixed. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services while running.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create some content, including the English localization, music and sound effects, the 3D-rendered block art pipeline, and parts of the store/marketing materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and refined by the developer. No content is generated by AI at runtime.
Some small props and interface icons in this game began as AI-generated meshes and textures (text-to-3D / image-to-3D), which were then reworked by hand, retopologised, re-scaled, colour-graded and assembled before shipping. All other art comes from licensed asset packs and hand kitbashing. Nothing is generated live: no AI runs during play, and no player input is sent to an AI service.
This game uses generative AI tools during development for some pre-rendered assets, including store capsules and key art, character sprites, backgrounds, CGs, and certain audio. AI-assisted assets are selected and edited before inclusion. Story and game systems are human-authored.
Some of this game's assets were made with the help of generative AI tools and then edited by hand: the in-game notebook UI sprites, a few background props and set-dressing models, some texture work, and the English localization, which was drafted from our Korean original and reviewed by us.
The original Korean writing, the characters, the level design, and all gameplay systems were made without generative AI. Nothing is generated while you play.
AI tools were used to assist in creating the game logo, marketing artwork, and some 2D in-game assets such as item icons and illustrations. All AI-generated content is pre-generated (nothing is generated at runtime) and was manually reviewed and edited. All 3D models, gameplay, code, and game design are hand-crafted.
Generative AI tools were used. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developer, with some assets further edited and refined.No AI content is generated during gameplay.
AI (WAN 2.2) was used to help generate idle animation frames from 100% original, human-made art. All animations were reviewed and curated by the developer before being included in the game.
There is no AI-generated art or audio anywhere in this game. Every sprite, animation and character design is hand-drawn by me. The game has no audio at all, and the music in the trailer is my own work too. Nothing is generated while the game runs, and it never connects to an AI service.
AI was used to help with text, in three places.
The store page description and short description, in all 11 languages.
Translating the interface labels into the 10 languages other than English. There are only 24 strings in the whole game and no prose of any kind: 11 are labels like "Clear all" and "Cancel", and the other 13 are bird names, which are the real common names of each species, looked up per language rather than made up.
Some of our Steam community and marketing posts.
Chinese (both) I checked myself, and Japanese was checked at N2. Korean, Spanish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and German have not been checked by a native speaker.
The game's text (Korean and English) was written with the help of an AI assistant, based on the developer's research into traditional Korean architecture, and was fact-checked and reviewed by the developer before shipping. The English text follows a Korean–English glossary of traditional architecture terms prepared and approved by the developer. No other shipped content is AI-generated: all 3D models, buildings and characters are built procedurally in code, and the background music is licensed traditional Korean music (CC BY).
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some visual and audio assets. All AI-assisted content was substantially edited by the developers and paid artists.
The pixel art in this game was created with an AI image generation tool (Pixellab).
Generated art is never used as-is: the style, proportions and palette standards are set by a human,
every sprite is reviewed by eye, and anything off-standard is rejected and redone. Grounding,
animation continuity and color consistency are likewise human-checked before adoption.
Game design, balance and specification decisions are made by a human. AI-assisted tools are also
used in the development process.
Nothing is generated by AI at runtime (pre-generated content only).
Some of this game's shipped assets were created with the assistance of generative AI and then manually curated and edited by the developers: background artwork (landscape silhouettes), the current music tracks (temporary, until our hand-crafted soundtrack is finished), and parts of the English localization. No content is generated by AI at runtime, and the game does not connect to any AI services.
Some of this game's assets were made with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed, curated and hand-finished by the developer. No content is generated while you play.
Generative AI was used selectively as a development tool to assist with some textures and selected 3D assets. All assets were reviewed, refined where needed, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI content.
I developed this game entirely on my own, handling all the game design, hand-drawn artwork, and music composition myself.
Only the translations/localizations were generated by AI.
The store page was translated into 30 languages using AI, from text written by the developer. Store and library images were assembled from artwork the developer made by hand. The game itself contains no AI-generated content, and nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Some placeholder assets in the current build (terrain textures and sound effects) were AI-generated and are being replaced with human-made and procedural versions. All models, writing, characters, and design are human-made.
Music and lyrics written by Richard Robledo. Music composed by hand in LMMS digital audio workstation, and orchestrated into larger pieces with Suno AI. Pixel art depictions of authors generated by Nano Banana 2.
To make One More Chop more accessible to players around the world, AI-assisted tools were used as part of the localization process for supported languages. Their use is limited to translation and localization support, helping us make the game available to players across a wider range of languages and regions.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with programming during development and to support the creation of some of the game's music. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and integrated by the developer.
As a small independent developer, obviously AI tools was used to assist in the development of this game, including working on graphical elements as well as writing code.
Some of the art in this game — the chef characters, the customer characters, the lane skins, and some of the plates — was created with the help of AI image generation tools. The sushi artwork does not use AI.
Some 2D art assets (backgrounds, characters, UI icons) were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and then edited, cropped and assembled manually. Localization text for some supported languages was assisted by AI translation. All generated content was reviewed by the developer.
Some of the written copy on this game's store page was drafted with the assistance of AI tools, with all text reviewed and edited by our team. No AI was used in any visual material on this page, including screenshots and trailers, or in any in-game assets such as graphics, audio, and text.
Some assets in Crown Cribbage were made with the help of generative AI tools:
- in-game music was generated with AI music tools
- capsule/key art
- marketing copy drafts
- assistance with programming
One point of emphasis:
The computer opponents in this game are not generative AI. They are hand-written heuristics, a fixed set of rules for discarding and pegging, tuned by
difficulty.
They see only what you see. They do not look at your hand, and nothing about them is generated while you play.
No AI content of any kind is created during a match.
As a solo developer, AI has been a big help in making the development of this game more efficient by assisting in, but not be the sole performer of: testing, performing repetitive and some programming tasks, brainstorming and discussions, translations and some design.
AI was used on a limited basis to assist with the refinement of certain visual designs. All VHS artwork and other licensed imagery is based on artwork created by human artists, and we hold the appropriate licenses for all third-party images used.
Some in-game text (such as the messages in bottles) and store page copy were written with the assistance of AI tools. All content has been reviewed and edited by the developer.
