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.
During the development of Hell Cleaners, AI tools were used to create early concepts and references to help explore the visual direction of the game. All final art assets that ship in the game were created, painted, or reworked by hand by our art team. No AI-generated audio, voice, or narrative text is used in the shipped product. We believe games should be made by humans!
Generative AI may be used to assist with promotional store artwork and marketing assets. Gameplay screenshots are captured from the actual game. The game does not use live generative AI to create player-facing gameplay content.
Some visual assets, promotional images, and store page materials may include AI-assisted generated elements that were further edited and refined by the development team. AI is not used to generate gameplay, player interactions, or real-time in-game content.
I (the developper) am a former artist with poor skills in technical aspects of game development such as coding. In that regard, AI was used mainly to fasten the process of development of the game such as:
- help for technical aspects when I couldn't do it due to my limited skills.
- generate a database of random text events based on my own texts and mood that I want for the game. The game contains hundreds of different events that I couldn't afford to write all of them in such a short time. Events are then all checked and corrected by myself to ensure they all fit within the game.
I am not proud of using AI as I am directly concerned by it as an artist myself. But this was my only chance to fulfil my dream of making my own game in a limited time and I want to be transparent with the players that might feel uncomfortable with it.
No AI was used for any other part of the game such as art or sound effects.
There's a local Large Language Model that integrates with the game's systems and is used primarily for but not limited to dialogue generation.
Several other uses are planned, including localization.
AI has been used for coding and in a limited capacity for creating placeholder assets that will be replaced at a later date.
The Steam store page banners and promotional creatives for the app were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. The in-game assets were either created manually or edited afterwards, but the visual materials used for marketing (such as header images, capsules, and promotional banners) include AI-generated elements.
Some visual and audio assets in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and then reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team.
All game design decisions, including gameplay systems, boss mechanics, quests, NPC dialogue, progression, and balancing, were created by the human developers.
AI is not used during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used in a limited capacity to assist with marketing materials and early concept visuals during development. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and approved by the development team. The final shipped game contains no generative AI content.
I believe in being fully transparent with my players regarding the tools used to bring this project to life. As a solo developer and non-native English speaker, I have utilized AI as a supportive tool to enhance the experience, though the core vision and logic of the game remain my own.
Art & Visuals: To ensure the game has a polished aesthetic, I used AI to refine my hand-drawn concepts into final assets. This allowed me to translate my original sketches into high-quality visuals that I otherwise could not have afforded as an independent creator.
Language & Localization: With over 1,500 unique glyphs and numerous Rune combinations, I used AI to assist with naming and linguistic consistency. This ensures that the English translation is natural and clear for all players.
Real-Time Community Chat: To foster an inclusive community, the game features an integrated translation tool. This allows players to chat in their native languages while providing instant translations for others, ensuring everyone can participate in the conversation.
Development & Optimization: AI assisted in proofing my original combat code and expanding on my base mechanics to create more diverse gameplay options. It also serves as a diagnostic tool to help me identify and patch bugs quickly, ensuring a stable and fair experience for everyone.
AI is a tool to empower my creativity, not a replacement for it. My goal is to use these technologies to deliver a deeper, more polished game than a solo project would typically allow.
During the development of Beyond the Soil: Farming & Tales Prologue, generative AI technologies were used to optimize localization texts and assist in the design phase of certain visual marketing materials.
Guilds of Mountgate currently uses AI-generated visual assets during Early Access, primarily for environmental backgrounds and UI-related imagery.
All assets are individually selected and refined to ensure visual consistency within the game world.
This approach allows development to focus on the core systems that define the game — including progression, economy and world simulation.
As development continues, many of these assets — especially location backgrounds — are planned to be replaced with handcrafted, pre-rendered 3D scenes created in Blender for the full release (v1.0).
AI tools were used to assist in creating certain promotional/store assets such as capsule images and marketing artwork.
No AI-generated content is included in gameplay, game assets, or user interactions.
This game uses generative AI tools in a limited capacity:
🎨 Marketing & Concept Materials: Some marketing materials, store page assets, and early concept visuals were created or refined using generative AI tools during development.
All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and approved by the development team before publication.
Some visual prototype assets and early promotional materials may include content created with generative AI. Final gameplay design, implementation, balancing, and overall creative direction are developed by the creator.
Some of Bitroca's visual assets, UI elements, and audio were created with the help of generative AI tools, then
reviewed and finalized by a human developer before shipping. All content is pre-rendered and baked into the build no AI content is generated during gameplay.
During development, we used generative AI tools to assist with certain visual assets, including images and 3D models. All AI-generated content was pre-produced during the development phase and has been manually reviewed and validated. No real-time AI generation occurs during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used as development assistance for code prototyping, design iteration, selected promotional/store artwork, and AI-generated trailer music. The final game content is reviewed, edited, integrated, and curated by the developer.
The game does not use live generative AI during gameplay. No runtime AI-generated text, images, audio, or dialogue are produced for players.
During development, AI-assisted tools may have been used in a limited role for tasks such as concept support and writing assistance. These tools were used only to assist the development process. All final content choices, editing, implementation, and creative direction were carried out by the solo developer. The game does not include live-generated AI content during runtime.
