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.
The only AI generated elements in the game are a few select static background images used to set the scene (such as the combat stages, the vendor backdrop, and the leaderboard podium). In strict contrast, the entirety of the Multiplayer Boss Arenas (including their backgrounds, set pieces, and props) were purely hand crafted by human artists. Additionally, all animated character models, monster sprites, factory sprites, and in game items throughout the whole game are traditional, human made pixel art.
Some store page artwork and marketing materials were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools. No AI-generated content is used within the game itself.
During development, AI-assisted tools were used as part of the creative workflow for concept exploration and reference generation. Extensive photobashing, manual editing, and traditional artistic techniques were used throughout development, and every final image, texture, and 3D model was individually refined, finished, or recreated by an artist. AI serves as a supporting tool in the production process rather than replacing artistic craftsmanship.
Some visual content used in the game and on its store page was created with the assistance of generative AI. All such content was selected, reviewed, and implemented by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
"We utilize AI to assist in various design processes, including stylistic conceptualization, environment concept art, character definition, and color scheme planning."
Pre-Generated Content (AI-assisted art):
Some promotional and marketing artwork & game arts of the tiles & the facilities was created with the assistance of AI image generation tools used as a starting point, subsequently edited and modified by the developer. All in-game characters & effects are hand-crafted by the developer.
Some visual assets and 3D models in this game were created with the assistance of AI tools. All such content is pre-rendered and does not change during gameplay.
AI tools were utilized to assist with text correction and translation. Additionally, AI was used to refine certain artwork, as well as to generate certain audio elements.
All other aspects of the project, from creative direction and story to core gameplay and scripting, represent the dedicated, hand-crafted effort of a solo developer.
I'm Alex, a solo developer. Most of Sphere TD is handmade by me: towers, mods, UI, maps, game design, and core gameplay art.
A small amount of AI assisted creation is used for flavor: optional map background images (off by default), and music tracks that combine indie production with AI assisted composition.
I also have a no AI assets switch in Settings to toggle off generated content if you prefer.
This game was built extensively with generative AI. AI tools were used to assist with code development, pixel art generation, music composition, sound effect creation, voice acting, dialogue writing, story design, and game design.
**About the Use of AI**
This game was largely developed by a single developer with limited resources. To move faster and support certain parts of the creative process, I occasionally used AI tools during development.
AI was mainly used to help generate early drafts of visuals, initial text ideas, and to assist throughout the production process. However, everything you see in the game has been manually refined, reworked, and shaped to fit the overall vision of the game.
My goal was not to use AI as a shortcut, but as a supportive tool to help bring ideas to life more efficiently. This allowed me to focus more on the atmosphere, gameplay, and overall experience I wanted to create.
The final result — its world, mechanics, and feeling — reflects my own vision.
Generative AI has been used during the development of this game in the following ways: AI tools were used to assist in writing part of the game's source code and to help create or refine some 2D graphic assets, such as logos and UI elements.
Some content in this game, including text and certain assets, was created with the assistance of AI tools during development. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure quality and consistency.
3D Models: Generative artificial intelligence is used to restore and recreate interior objects of the real building that were lost in the fire.
Images: The paintings inside the manor are real photographs of artworks that once hung inside, but they have been enhanced and restored.
Music & Sounds: Specially created to build a unique and immersive atmosphere.
The core concepts, rules, and gameplay mechanics of The Bone Yard are entirely my own original creation. Because this is a solo passion project, I utilized generative AI as a development assistant to help bring my vision to life. AI tools were used to help brainstorm visual design elements, which I then curated and integrated into the game. I also used AI to assist with coding and text localization. The heart of the game, how it plays, how it feels, is 100% USDA Prime Human.
The hamster character artwork and visual assets used in this game were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools. No AI is used to generate content during gameplay.

One developer. AI tools helped with images and text because some things are bigger than one pair of hands. Everything you see reflects my own creative decisions.
This game was built by a solo developer using AI-assisted coding tools throughout development, including for generating SVG code that was rendered into game icons. All creative direction, game design, and visual style decisions were made by the developer. No AI image generation models were used to create artwork.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of certain pre-rendered store assets and promotional images for the Steam store page. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not rely on live AI-generated content.

narrative drafting, and music prompt generation. All game design, pixel art,
code, and final creative decisions are made by the developer.
AI-Generated Content Disclosure:
This game includes AI-generated and AI-assisted content. Most 2D art assets (including character/prop/environment illustrations, icons, and UI artwork) were created using generative AI tools and then reviewed and edited by the developer for consistency and quality.
Most audio assets (including sound effects and some music/ambience, if applicable) were also created using AI generation tools and then post-processed (editing, mixing, and mastering) by the developer.
All AI-generated content is curated and integrated by the developer, and the final in-game assets may include manual modifications and additional original work.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence as part of its development process. AI tools were used to assist in creating early concept art, drafting dialogue, generating ideas during brainstorming, producing some 3D assets, and supporting debugging and problem-solving during development.
