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 shipped game contains no AI-generated art, audio or written content, and uses no AI at runtime — it runs entirely offline. Some AI tools (like ChatGPT and Claud code) were used during the development of the game for research purposes and reviewing. All game source code is human-written, human-reviewed and occasionally reviewed/tested by AI tools.
This game used generative AI during the development process to assist with the creation and modeling visual assets, including characters designs and environmental textures like buildings.
Generative AI was used in the following ways:
• The title logo on our store capsule images was created with an AI image
tool. Everything else in those images is real footage from the running game.
• The trailer narration was written with AI assistance and voiced using
ElevenLabs text-to-speech.
• Some in-game text event descriptions, help and interface copy was
written with AI assistance and edited by hand.
The game itself is not AI-generated. The world simulation, the voxel terrain
and its creatures, and all in-game art are hand-built. Sound effects and music
are licensed from stock audio libraries. Nothing is generated while you play.
The pixel art was generated with PixelLab. The music was generated with Suno on a paid plan. I wrote the prompts, picked what worked, and threw out what didn't. The game itself, the economy, the systems, the design, the words on screen, I built. Nothing is generated while the game runs. Everything ships as files. There are no AI calls at play time, no AI voice, and no chatbots.
This is a one-person project — just me — and I used AI tools throughout development. All of it is pre-generated: the game doesn't make AI calls while you're playing, and it makes no network calls at all.
Most of the code was written with AI coding assistants. Some of the writing players see was drafted the same way and then edited by me: the word lists the game builds its procedural company names from, the achievement titles, and the templates behind the news items and company filings. Those get assembled in-game by ordinary seeded code, not by a model. The store page copy was drafted with AI help as well.
The app icon was made with an AI image generator. That same icon is also the Steam community icon, the Windows client icon, the store page background, and the base image for the achievement icons.
The rest of the art isn't AI-generated. The capsules and library assets are drawn programmatically from the game's own stylesheet and some seeded procedural drawing code, the screenshots are straight captures of the game running, and the audio is synthesized as you play rather than being generated audio files.
Cigar Tycoon includes pre-generated AI-assisted content created during development, including some promotional artwork, store capsule and library artwork, and a small amount of magazine-style written content. The developer reviewed and edited this content before release. The game does not generate new content with AI during gameplay, does not connect to an external AI service, and does not send player data to an AI service.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of 2D concept art and background textures. The loading screen video is also made with generative AI. All final assets were manually edited and (if necessary) refined by the developer to match the game's art style.
Voice lines for the characters were generated using AI voice tools based on licensed models. The scripts were entirely written by humans, and the generated audio was manually edited where necessary.
Generative AI was used to create and refine some pre-generated visual assets, including the game logo and Steam store capsule artwork. All AI-assisted assets are reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
This game uses pre-generated AI only for certain UI background images and promotional store visuals. These assets were created before release and remain fixed. The game does not include any live AI generation during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with selected pre-generated 3D assets, translations into additional languages, and marketing artwork. Polish and English source texts were written by the developer. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
AI was used in the initial generation of some assets, but we edited them in Photoshop to adjust proportions and remove any obvious AI Slop.
As this is primarily a management game, we focused heavily on the gameplay mechanics, ensuring the game is bug-free, fun to play, and, dare we say, addicting!
That said, we would love for the art to be more authentic and beautiful. We have an artist under contract who can replace all of the art in the game if the game sells well enough, and we will release the updated art as a patch to all users who have previously purchased the game.
This game uses generative AI tools to assist in creating some of its text (such as dialogue and descriptions), image assets, and translations. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by humans during development before being included in the game. No content is generated in real time by AI during gameplay.
Parts of this game's code were written with the assistance of AI programming tools; all output was reviewed, tested and integrated by the developer. Store page texts and localizations were also produced with AI assistance and reviewed by the developer. [Some music and sound assets were created using AI generation tools and curated by the developer.] [Some marketing artwork (e.g. capsule images) was created with AI image tools and edited by the developer.] All in-game 3D models and simulation content are authored procedurally or by hand. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime, and it does not connect to any external AI services.
Some visual assets in this game and on this store page were made with the assistance of generative AI tools and then edited by hand — specifically, the game's logo and the decorative border of the certificate you are awarded at the end of a run. Everything else was authored by the developer: all other art, all interface text, all film titles, and all game data. Nothing is generated while you play. The game makes no network connection of any kind.
Music and certain in-game UI icons were created using generative AI tools. All AI-generated assets were reviewed, selected, and, where necessary, edited by the developer before being included in the game. The game does not generate any AI content during gameplay.
AI tools were used to assist in generating promotional artwork and store page graphics. Additionally, AI coding assistants were utilized during development to help write and optimize scripts and programming logic.
Hearthfield's world is built in code and from CC0 model packs, and everything you
see in play is made by hand. Our Steam store art, the capsules, the icons and the
logo, was created with the help of AI image tools and then finished by us. We also
use an AI coding assistant while building the game, and AI help when drafting store
text. Our screenshots are always genuine captures from the real game. Nothing in
Hearthfield is generated by AI while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine some pre-generated 2D artwork used in the game and its marketing, including environmental backgrounds, character and item art, fossil and museum visuals, capsule and library artwork, and achievement imagery. All AI-assisted assets were selected, edited, and integrated by the developer before shipping. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to a live AI service.
As a solo developer working with a limited budget, I used generative AI tools to help bring my vision to life and add more variety to the game. Specifically, AI generated 10-20 graphical assets and assisted in creating about half of the game's music tracks. The vast majority of the game (over 95%) - including all core design, programming, and mechanics was created entirely by hand.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create selected pre-generated visual assets, including the application icon, HUD texture, Property Marketplace illustrations, and Legacy Vault artwork. Four background-music tracks were also created using Google Gemini. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developer and packaged with the game. Hero Investor does not generate AI content during gameplay or send player data to an AI service.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create pre-generated visual assets, UI graphics, in-game text, character content, fictional file contents, audio, and localization. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the development team before being included in the game. The game does not use generative AI at runtime or generate content live for players.
AI tools are used to assist with the localization of in-game and store page text into other languages. All translations are reviewed by the development team and improved with community feedback.
Some marketing artwork (store capsules and promotional images) was created with AI assistance, based on the game's own assets, characters and art style. All in-game content, gameplay, art assets and audio design are created by the development team.
AI tool assisted in translating the store page into 15 different languages.
We do NOT use AI-generated art, and we never intentionally include AI assets in our game. We sometimes buy assets and use stock photos. We do our best to verify them, but nowadays, distinguishing AI from human-made art can be hard.
That said, if there is any specific artwork that you believe looks like AI or raises concerns, we would appreciate it if you could point it out on our Discord server. We will investigate and replace anything that might have slipped through.
AI-generated art is NOT something we want to include in our game.
Some visual assets, including certain item artwork, icons, and promotional images, were created or assisted using generative AI. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by the development team before being included in the game.
Setter uses generative AI in a limited way. The portrait images for fictional and youth players were created with AI image tools during development and ship as fixed assets: the game does not generate any content live while you play. Some promotional materials on this store page may also include AI-assisted artwork.
