Public Steam disclosure research25,380 disclosures tracked
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.
If your ingame choices are inconsistent or raise moral questions, you’ll have to justify them in writing. An AI will read your defense and decide whether it counts as a solution. Convince it — because its verdict carries real consequences in the game.
The poetry in Verses of Enchantment is generated using a custom AI model trained on curated public domain texts.
All other content (art, sound, dialogues, animation, ...) is created by humans and is attributed to them.
In-game text has been translated into multiple languages using AI-generated translations. The character representing AI in the game features a voice generated through text-to-speech technology.
AI is used for some images and promotional materials. It also serves as a working basis for image editing. It is used anecdotally.
It has been used for some secondary elements of the game to populate the universe, such as decorative objects.
AI is not used exclusively. As a solo dev, I also work with freelance artists for main content and assets on the Unity Store.
(Newcomer uses AI in a variety of contexts. If you have moral conundrums about AI usage or you do not want to use a resource with AI translations, I recommend finding learner/teacher curated non-AI resources. Thankyou!)
Text to speech (TTS): Newcomer uses text to speech to generate voices for anything the user or NPC might say.
Translations: Newcomer uses Google's Gemini to generate translations across all content (dialogue, stories, etc.) for all language pair combinations.
Grammar Explanations: Newcomer uses Google's Gemini to allow users to click on any word to receive a localized grammar explanation.
NPC Response Generation: Beginner mode dialogue is handcrafted and planned. However, the majority of NPC responses in intermediate mode are generated using Google Gemini. This allows Newcomer to handle any type of response the player might communicate.
Developer response: I am using AI primarily to help me provide the best RPG experience I can for as many language learners as possible while I continue to build the game. Thankyou! - Jason
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Disclosure for NecroNomNomNom: Eldritch Horror Dating
From the very outset, "NecroNomNomNom: Eldritch Horror Dating" was conceived as a cosmic horror experiment in itself. Instead of passively wondering how generative AI might impact creative professions, we decided to confront that existential dread head-on. Our core design philosophy was to push the boundaries of AI's capabilities, attempting to completely replace human creative input and, in essence, make ourselves obsolete in the game development process.
Our findings, however, have been profoundly ironic and surprisingly reassuring. While generative AI played a significant role in various aspects of the game's development (including concept generation, preliminary asset creation, dialogue outlines, and certain code snippets), we discovered that achieving a cohesive, engaging, and polished experience still required substantial human oversight and manual intervention. AI, in its current form, proved to be an invaluable tool for iteration and initial ideation, but it could not replicate the nuanced artistic direction, problem-solving, and quality assurance that only human creativity and discernment can provide.
Ultimately, this experiment demonstrated that the path to creative obsolescence is far from straightforward. In a twist we didn't anticipate, the very act of attempting to replace ourselves with AI actually created new roles and opportunities for human collaborators in areas where AI fell short. This project, born from a fear of replacement, has, against all odds, generated more work for creative professionals rather than eliminating it. The human touch remains indispensable in bringing a truly unique and compelling vision to life.
All character voice acting is AI-generated, but just a few characters have voice acting. It is not an important feature of this game, since it focuses on combat. Voice acting can be disabled in the game options. Ideally, all AI voice acting should be replaced by human voice acting in the final version of the game, but this is yet to be decided.
We employ generative AI during the creation of some art assets. Usually, this will be to create basic images reference, that are then modified by hand. All generated content is reviewed and modified by the artist, and it remains a minor part of the total expression created by the artist.
Edwaldo creates a fake restaurant review early in the game. Said review was made by ChatGPT
In addition, Grendel's motivational speech before the bank robbery (because she's lazy)
You engage in direct dialogue with artificial intelligence via a radio, which becomes a key element of the gameplay. Your conversations with the AI can directly influence the course of the story and the outcome of missions. The artificial intelligence, implemented using the advanced ChatGPT technology from OpenAI, is capable not only of conducting natural dialogues but also of exhibiting emotional reactions that alter its behavior and attitude towards the player.
The use of AI in Vice Undercover was strictly limited to enhancing a limited number of database images, such as some faces, objects, and locations. All images began with original photographs taken by the team, which were then used to create datasets for generating initial concepts. These AI-generated images were not used as-is—instead, they served as a starting point for detailed, creative transformation. Every final image was extensively painted, composited, and refined using original photographs and artistic elements, ensuring that all visuals align with the game's unique style and authenticity. AI was simply one tool in a much larger creative process driven by human artistry.
Some visual assets, such as store capsule images and in-game card illustrations, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All gameplay and code are original.
AI generated images have been used to as a starting point for icons, characters, and elements of some backgrounds. In nearly every case images are then digitally painted over to remove unwanted artifacts and give all the artwork a similar style. Every effort has been made to produce unique content that does not infringe on any copyright.
Some sprites have been generated using artificial intelligence; however, all of them have undergone a "human" finishing process, including retouching, animation generation, transparency adjustments, etc.
AI-generated materials are not used directly.

Posing, facial expressions, and composition of some character illustrations are used as references.
I draw by hand while looking at the AI-generated materials.
This game uses simple self coded artificial intelligence to generate positions for blocks, backgrounds, clouds, grass and enemies.
No other Ai apps were used to create anything for this game or used while the game is running.
The background of the games Steam Shop main capsule image is AI generated.
The game uses AI-generated voices for all characters where no voice actors are available yet. You can disable AI voices in the audio settings.
