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.
We use AI to let our robots express themselves!
If a robot became alive, it wouldn’t come pre-programmed with the perfect way to express its thoughts or emotions — it would have to figure it out along the way. That’s why the hero robots in Endless Machines use AI to give voice to their thoughts and feelings.
What they say isn’t always polished or logical. It's quirky, weird, funny, and sometimes unexpectedly touching. It’s not a scripted, perfect dialogue. It’s more like a robot trying to make sense of the world — and itself — in real time.
This approach makes their personalities dynamic and unpredictable. For us, that’s what makes AI-driven dialogue a perfect fit for the game: It’s about learning, exploring, and growing — just like the robots themselves.
Under the hood, the game runs a small language model that has been custom fine-tuned for each robot's personality. It is instructed to speak through prompt engineering, ensuring the robot stays in character and relates to the game's lore. The model does not require online access.
We chose to use SmolLM because we were looking for a language model where the training background, technical setup, and use of data are transparent (open source and based on publicly available texts), and where the model can be run locally. We use this locally hosted language model (LLM) to generate text content during gameplay.
What the robots say in the game is defined and moderated by us. We have written a set of foundational texts that form the basis for each robot’s personality, tone, and way of expressing itself. From that foundation, they “build” further and develop over time. Endless Machines does not and cannot collect any data from the person playing the game.
All outputs are guided by custom prompt engineering, custom fine-tuning, and are controlled by local code at runtime to ensure appropriate content. More details on the model architecture and dataset can be found here:

For Lets Get Loot, we have used generative AI for some store materials and also for some of the music within the game. Aside from this, the gameplay experience does not include in-game generated assets, functionality, or any other form of content.
Our designers manually craft the game logo, though we employ neural networks during pre-production to expedite the rendering of intricate character details.
No live AI-generated content is used!
In the development of this game, generative AI tools were utilized to assist in the creation of a few textures, images, and translations. As a solo developer, this approach aimed to enhance the visual and linguistic quality of the game, ensuring a more immersive experience for players. All AI-generated content was carefully reviewed and refined to align with the game's artistic vision and maintain high-quality standards.
1.We used the scenery and base images of the game background generated by AI, and based on these, we modified and created the background of the game scenes.
2.We used the concept images and dynamic elements of the images generated by AI for the production of game videos and promotional videos.
Our graphical novel game features visually captivating art brought to life with the help of AI-powered tools. By combining the creativity of our team with advanced AI technology, we've crafted rich, immersive environments and expressive character designs that enhance the storytelling experience. Dive into a world where art and innovation meet, creating a unique visual journey for players. Additionally, the AI technologies utilized in the game are credited.
Some of the game’s loading screens and UI icons / character portraits were created using AI tools during development. These assets are pre-generated (i.e. not generated in real-time during gameplay), are original, and do not depict real people or copyrighted material.
All rights are retained by the developer.
This game contains Audio and / or Artwork customized with the help of AI tools by our artists, derived from artwork we own commercial rights to use, or artwork done by our own studio.
We pay our artists, and we DO NOT use stolen Artwork.
The character voice used in the demo was generated by artificial intelligence for testing. It will be replaced with real voice acting in the full version.
AI was used as a supportive tool in creating some textures, sprites, and translations. All materials have been ultimately reviewed and finalized by human creators.
This is a handcrafted project developed entirely by a solo creator.
AI tools were used for proofreading and English translation. Some specific images were conceptualized with the assistance of AI and later manually refined. Additionally, seven background music tracks were created using AI-assisted composition tools.
All content is properly licensed and cleared for commercial use.
Yes, some of the visuals (backgrounds) in our game are prepared with AI. Other than that, the remaining cards, buttons and environmental elements are assets we prepared ourselves.
This game uses generative AI tools in the creation of certain assets:
Some character and environment art assets were generated using developer-trained AI models;
Some ambient background music (non-vocal) was generated using commercially available AI models with proper commercial licenses;
In addition, the Steam store capsule image was also generated with the help of AI tools.
All AI-generated content is static, manually reviewed and edited by the developer prior to release, and does not involve any post-release dynamic generation.
AI tools were used during development to assist in generating early draft concepts for some environmental assets.
All final in-game content, visuals, audio, and text were manually created, refined, and validated by the development team.
No AI tools are available to players, and no AI generates content during gameplay.
I use the service to generate artificial intelligence voices for characters. The voice generation process does not occur in real-time, but rather beforehand, allowing me to test and evaluate the content before using it in the game. Additionally, I implement appropriate preventive measures to ensure that the generated content is suitable and compliant with legal requirements and Steam standards.
