Public Steam disclosure research25,376 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.
Artwork: created with generative AI, pre-rendered, hand-curated and edited.
Code and design: 100% human-written, built on a match-3 framework I've developed and shipped five games with since 2012.
Runtime: no AI is used while the game is running.
Some of the images used in the game were created with generative AI tools. However, all questions, answer choices, facts, and other written content were created and edited by humans.
Generative AI was used during development to create certain pre-generated visual assets and character textures included in the game, as well as to assist with translation into certain languages (French, German, and Spanish). These assets are created during development and are integrated into the game; there is no real-time AI content generation during gameplay.
Some game assets and store promotional artwork were created with generative AI before release. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
Studs Up! ships some pre-generated AI content. All of it was reviewed and edited by hand before it went into the game:
- Player portraits and the end-of-season win/loss backdrops: image generation, converted down to the game's limited-palette pixel formats.
- The match music loop and the match sound effects: audio generation, edited and loudness-normalised.
- The announcer voice in the trailer: voice generation.
No AI runs while you play. The game is fully offline and generates nothing at runtime.
We used AI to generate initial music tracks, concept art, and temporary translations into some languages.
All materials were then thoroughly edited, reworked, and finalized by humans.
Nothing went straight from the generator into the game.
AI-assisted tools were used to assist with the creation of some in-game image assets and promotional materials. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
PROF-MAN contains pre-generated visual artwork and voice audio created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Visual assets were created and directed by the developer and subsequently edited and refined as part of the game's art production process. The Professor's voice was created using ElevenLabs. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
This game contains content created with the assistance of AI tools. AI was used during development to assist with programming, visual assets, and other creative elements. All generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the dev.
AI was used throughout development for assistance with artwork, audio, code, and prototyping, as a tool, not a magic wand. Everything is directed, edited, assembled, and ultimately blamed on one questionably qualified human developer.
No AI runs during gameplay. It already costs me enough when the game isn't running.
The token bill remains undefeated.
Generative AI was used to create background images and character artwork in the game. It was also used as a writing aid for proofreading and editing the narrative. AI-assisted content was reviewed and selected by the developer.
Artwork, video and voice performances in this game were created with generative-AI tools and selected and edited by the author; the writing was drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by the author. Nothing is generated while you play.
Generative AI was used during development to create some images, in-game assets, and voices. This includes artwork used on the Steam store page and in promotional materials.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create pre-generated artwork
and visual assets used in the game and its Steam store materials.
All AI-generated assets included in the final game were reviewed and selected by
the developer before use.
No generative AI content is created during gameplay, and the game does not connect
to any external AI services.
Some artwork and localization in Grave Company were created with the assistance of generative AI. This content was reviewed and adjusted by the development team before release.
All the Localization, voiceovers/music, and many of the in-game textures were generated using AI.
The store page trailer and images are rendered inside the game itself, so indirectly they also contains those AI generated textures.
A note on why.
RaviWar 1 is the first part of a story that takes eight games to tell: RaviWar 1 & 2, and six shorter games set inside the same universe, under the name Tales of Takarek.
I am one person, with no studio and no funding behind me. Built the traditional way, a project that size would outlast me. These tools are the only way I can attempt it at all, and I would rather finish the whole story imperfectly than finish a fraction of it perfectly.
It is also why this game is free. I am not asking anyone to pay for AI generated work.
The design, the writing, the puzzles and the world are mine. As the project grows I intend to replace generated assets with commissioned ones.
Once again I am sorry.
In-game icons and background assets were generated with AI and then manually adjusted
Promotional images and promotional videos were generated with AI and then manually adjusted
AI tools were used only to check visual concepts, translate text into some languages, and create music placeholders. All such materials are currently significantly reworked by humans. By release, we plan to replace the music placeholders with original compositions and have the translations reviewed by human editors.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with programming and the creation of some visual assets. AI-generated and AI-assisted content may be included in the final game.
Generative AI was used to assist with drafting and editing store-page text and localization. All generated text was reviewed and edited by the developer before publication. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
AI was generally used in collaboration with human editing throughout most of the game. All released content was selected, edited and integrated by the developer. No content is generated during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development. Some 3D models of characters and environments, some pre-rendered cutscenes, the main theme song, marketing videos and the translations were created with the help of AI tools, then edited and assembled by the developer. Gameplay design, code and in-game animations were made by the developer. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and revise pre-generated illustrations, narrative text, localization and promotional artwork. Content is prepared before play; the game does not generate AI content at runtime or connect to an external AI service during play.
I built every environment, HUD and system in MOGGED by hand over months. I even placed the individual pingpong balls and the patches of grass myself.
But two things did involve AI: A few decals and icons, made for comedic effect. And several voice lines: narrator and NPC barks. If the game does well, I'm hiring proper voice acting.
Everything I did not make myself is properly licensed and credited to the people who did.
The branching narrative in FOREST QUEST '88 was generated during development using a locally-run AI language model (an offline Dolphin/LLaMA-family model via Ollama). All AI-generated text was produced ahead of time, then reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being baked into the finished game as fixed, hand-checked content. The shipped game contains no live AI generation — it plays back a static, pre-authored story. No player data is sent to any AI service; the game runs fully offline.
Below The Loop uses generative AI-assisted tools during development to create some visual assets and marketing artwork. These assets are pre-generated and reviewed and edited as part of the development process. The game does not use AI to generate content in real time during gameplay.
The background, as well as the mesh and base textures for the Matryoshka dolls, were created entirely by hand.
Some of the Matryoshka patterns and the fang meshes were generated using AI, then however directed and revised by humans.
AI tools were also used to assist with language localization.
DeepL was used for language translation of the subtitles and also for the text in the Steam store. Some of the voice acting was generated using a paid ElevenLabs subscription.
Some 3D models were generated with AI tools (Meshy) and manually processed. Some in-game posters and paintings are AI-generated images. Store capsule artwork was generated with AI tools and edited by the developer. All AI-generated content was reviewed by the developer.
Some character voices in the game were generated using AI voice technology. AI was used only to generate pre-recorded character dialogue. No AI-generated content is created dynamically during gameplay.
Some of the images used in the game were created with generative AI tools. However, all questions, answer choices, facts, and other written content were created and edited by humans.
This game uses AI-assisted tools during development, limited exclusively to programming assistance, multilingual translation assistance, drafting assistance for written store page copy, and a synthesized voice used for the narration of our promotional videos.
The narration script is written by the development team. Only the voice reading it is synthesized, and it appears in promotional videos only. It is not part of the game, and no AI-generated output is integrated into the game itself. All content is manually reviewed, edited, integrated, proofread, and tested by the development team before use.
AI is not used to create characters, character illustrations, character-related artwork, animations, music, sound effects, narrative, or other core creative content. Our sound effects are public domain field recordings, and the music in our videos is licensed from human authors. The game does not generate content in real time while running, nor does it connect to external AI services to provide generative features to players.
