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.
Netshell uses AI to power its characters. The NPCs you meet on the in-game forums and IRC read what is happening in your playthrough and respond in character, so their messages and forum posts are generated rather than pre-scripted, and each player's world unfolds differently.
All of this runs locally and offline: the AI models ship with the game and run on your machine. Netshell never connects to a third-party AI service such as ChatGPT or Claude. You can turn the AI off entirely, in which case the NPCs stop chatting and the game continues with its authored story.
Some Steam store and trailer assets were created with AI assistance and then edited/curated by the development team. During gameplay, Netshell only uses AI to generate in-character NPC text.
I have updated the AI Content Survey to better reflect the content used in the game.
Some background images were created with the assistance of generative AI. A small number of player card artworks were also created using generative AI, but the majority of the cards were created without AI-generated artwork. Additionally, some promotional/store images contain AI-generated elements, while many others do not.
The AI-generated content is limited to certain visual assets and does not affect gameplay or game logic.
Penko Vox: Japanese uses local generative AI to power its immersive language learning experience. An integrated Large Language Model (LLM) acts as a native Japanese tutor, generating real-time dialogue based on user input, while a Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine synthesizes high-fidelity Japanese audio for listening practice.
We use generative AI to help create this game. It's part of what lets a small team build a game like this. We believe in being transparent about the tools we use, but they're only tools. Every part of this game is reviewed, refined, and curated by our team to meet our creative vision and quality standards, and we hope you'll enjoy the game for the experience it delivers.
This game was developed with the assistance of generative AI. Generative AI was used to help create portions of the game's source code and some game assets (including certain artwork and prototype assets). All AI-generated content has been reviewed, modified, or integrated by the developer before being included in the game.
A small number of texture assets use generative AI as a starting point and were manually edited for use in-game. Most visual assets are original, licensed, purchased, or used with creator permission.
AI Generated Content Disclosure
Pre-generated AI:
"Artificial intelligence tools were utilized during the development process to generate initial 3D character assets and models. Following the generation, our development team extensively refined the textures, customized the coloring, and completely performed the rigging and weight painting manually."
During the development of Crossfall, generative AI is used as an auxiliary tool for creating game content. The following materials have been created or prepared with its help:
Images. Some of the game’s visual content has been created using generative AI, including character images, as well as some sprites and icons. Other parts of the artwork were made manually.
Text. AI helps me prepare some of the text content, including drafts of item names and descriptions, text for certain in-game events, as well as translation and localization of texts into other languages.
Music. The game’s musical soundtrack was created using generative AI.
All content generated with the help of AI is reviewed, selected, and, if necessary, refined by me before being added to the game.
The game itself does not use generative AI during gameplay: no content is generated in real time on the player’s side, and the game does not require an internet connection or access to any AI services.
Good, honest call — AI-generated art means you disclose it, and Steam shows this text publicly on your page. Here's a clean, accurate disclosure message:
Some of the visual assets in this game (such as card artwork and illustrations) were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-generated content was reviewed and curated by the developer. The game's design, code, and gameplay are human-authored.
Development/Pre-Generated AI Use Disclosure:
During the development process, Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of game assets. Specifically, portions of the game props, enemy models, 2D user interface elements, and background music/audio were developed with the assistance of AI tools.
All of these assets have undergone a thorough review, manual optimization, and integration through our standard development pipeline to ensure they match the game's unique artistic style and high-quality standards.
None of the AI-assisted content infringes upon any third-party copyrights or contains any restricted elements. The final game complies entirely with Steam's content policies.
Some artwork and visual assets in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development.
No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Generative AI tools (Leonardo.ai, Meshy.ai) are used to create some pre-rendered art assets and 3D model prototypes, which are then edited and art-directed by the developer. AI audio tools are used for some sound assets. All AI-generated content is reviewed and integrated by the developer; we have rights to use these outputs commercially per the tools' licensing terms.
Some of the images in the game were generated using AI during the prototype stage. Such assets may be present in the game up until the release of the demo (inclusive). During the development process, we gradually get rid of generated assets and replace them with hand-made ones. By the time of the official release, all generated content will be removed. This is a normal process for developing an indie game.
The capsule images and promotional artworks on the Steam store page of this game are AI-generated. All images have been manually adjusted in composition, refined in details and post-processed with text addition, without any copyrighted third-party materials. No real-time AI content generation during gameplay.
Some of the art, music, and voice assets that ship with this game were created with the help of generative AI tools during development, then curated,
▎ edited, and assembled by the developer. This includes character and mascot art, background and scene art, UI and logo imagery, background music tracks,
▎ and in-game voice lines. The game does not generate any AI content live at runtime. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed before inclusion, and we do not
▎ knowingly ship content that infringes third-party intellectual property.
This game contains pre-generated AI-assisted content, including some character artwork, visual assets, and audio. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated into the game by the developer.
AI-assisted tools were used to help create some ability icons and some HUD elements. The assets were reviewed and integrated into the game by the developers.
100% human made code, art, design, and audio!
AI assistance was only used for a tiny fraction of the text localizations to fill small gaps in our community made translations and for translating the Steam store page descriptions to non English languages.
Some audio assets in this game (music and sound effects) were created with the assistance of AI-based generation tools. All AI-generated content was reviewed by the developer to ensure it is appropriate and does not infringe third-party rights.
Generative AI was used to assist with writing, editing, and translating store page text and marketing copy. No generative AI content is generated in real time during gameplay.
This game includes some AI-assisted music and Steam store marketing assets created during development. All such content was reviewed and integrated by the developer. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay, and players cannot generate AI content within the game.
AI was used as a creative tool for:
Generating and refining background art (later curated by our artists)
Creating early atmospheric textures for the soundtrack (finished by human composers)
All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by the team to ensure quality and consistency.
Some portions of the game's source code were developed with the assistance of generative AI tools. All gameplay design, story, puzzles, dialogue, creative direction, and final implementation decisions were created, reviewed, and controlled by the developer.
Some promotional artwork and marketing materials may also have been created with the assistance of generative AI tools and subsequently reviewed and edited by the developer.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and no content is generated dynamically for players.
This game utilizes generative AI technologies for certain assets to enhance the game content and localization:
- Part of the vocal tracks and select background music (BGM) outside of the main gameplay.
- Specific visual assets used in music videos (MVs).
- Translation and localization assistance for the store page and game text.
For the store page and in-game multilingual texts, the Simplified Chinese version was written entirely by the developer. All other languages (Traditional Chinese, English, Russian, French, Japanese, and Latin American Spanish) were translated with the assistance of generative AI. All core content of the game (mechanic design, scene construction, character and story development, art assets, and audio) was independently created by the developer. AI was used solely for language localization and did not participate in the generation of any other content.
This game has AI generated images (including the community items) and other AI made components. If you are sensitive about AI generated content please do not purchase this game.
AI tools were used during development to assist with localizing in-game text into 13 non-English languages and with drafting in-game flavor text and store page copy. All AI-assisted text was reviewed and edited by the developers.
All artwork and visual assets are hand-made; no AI-generated imagery is used. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
This game was developed with coding assistance from Gemini, and the illustrations were created by first drawing the initial artwork and then using ChatGPT.
AI tools were used to assist with promotional artwork, capsule art, and visual concept iteration for The Big Suck. Final art direction, selection, editing, game design, programming, balancing, and implementation were done by the developer. AI was used as a creative production aid for a small indie project, not as live-generated gameplay content.
