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.
Generative AI was used as an assistive tool during development to draft text and translations, and to create some 2D images and graphical assets. As there is currently no budget to hire a dedicated artist, certain visual elements are initially generated with AI and then manually modified and refined. No AI content is generated live at runtime.
The things the player sees are mostly made manually by humans. But some visuals, like a couple of seamless textures that are used in the environment, were AI-generated and then modified by hand. AI was used to boost productivity generally, so it was used in a lot of workflows here and there to be finish tasks faster.
The game contains in-game narrative and dialogue text that was created with the assistance of generative AI and then reviewed by the developer. All artwork and music are human-created.
This game was developed with the assistance of Generative AI tools which served as a coding co-pilot. The AI was used to assist in writing the simulation logic, database structure, and user interface code during the development phase. All generated code was reviewed, tested, and finalized by the developer. The game does not utilize live Generative AI during gameplay
While we are generally against generative AI, we cannot guarantee that no AI generated content will end up in the game. We are using store bought assets and third party translations and we are not taking on the additional stress of verifying if they are 100% AI free. We will however deliver as much handcrafted material as possible.
We are a small studio with only six people actively involved in development. For teams like ours, generative AI is a supportive tool that helps us realize a creative vision that would otherwise be completely out of reach within our budget.
Here is exactly how we utilized generative AI in our game:
• We used generative AI during the prototyping and concept art phases. Every AI-generated image was manually modified, iterated upon, and finalized by our artist.
• The sea shanties in the game feature AI-generated vocals and music, but the lyrics are original and written by our team.
• Certain voice-over (VO) lines were generated using AI.
Generative AI tools were used to assist with the creation and editing of artwork for some Steam Store and Library assets, as well as with the translation and localization of game-related text. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by the development team. Generative AI is not used to generate content during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI services.
We used AI tools during development to assist with localization. We also used AI-based tools in the production of some cutscene videos. All outputs included in the game were reviewed and edited by our development team.
Some art assets (cargo icons, music tracks, marketing images) were created with assistance from AI generation tools and refined by the developer. All game code, design, and gameplay systems are human-created. No AI content is generated at runtime during gameplay.
Some game assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure consistency, quality, and originality.
Generative AI was used during the design stage to visualize original sketches and create UI concepts. Based on these visualizations, all final interface elements and graphical assets were manually refined and created to match the game's artistic style.
AI tools were used in various stages of development, including prototyping, localization and the creation of some visual assets. The project is developed by a single creator, and AI-assisted tools are part of the workflow. All gameplay systems and implementation are authored and controlled by the developer. No generative AI is used at runtime.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in asset creation. This includes:
Certain art assets (character sprites, backgrounds, UI icons) were generated by AI and manually retouched.
AI assistance was used for writing game code. All AI-generated content has been reviewed to ensure it contains no illegal or infringing material.
Generative AI was used to create the main promotional image/poster displayed on the Steam Store Page. All in-game content, code, and assets were created by the developer
During the development of this game, some art assets — including character designs, environments, and item illustrations — were created with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence tools (such as Midjourney).
All AI-generated materials have been manually reviewed, refined, and post-processed to ensure consistency with the game’s artistic direction.
Apart from these visual assets, all gameplay systems, story content, and interactive logic were entirely designed and implemented by the development team without the use of any automated generation or self-learning algorithms.
This game utilizes AI technology to generate some of the background and store images. These AI-generated assets were carefully selected to enhance the overall aesthetic of the game. All AI-based content was created in compliance with legal requirements to prevent copyright infringements.
Certain visual elements within the game and marketing materials were manually created by the development team, with AI assisting in troubleshooting during development. The game's AI does not generate real-time content.
Do you use AI to generate pre-rendered content for your game, its store page, marketing materials, and/or community assets?
Yes, I've used AI to generate the images (logo, banner) for the store page.
------------------
In my game, I use AI to generate voice lines. For example, when a player presses a specific key (shortcut), it triggers an audio file that was created using AI-generated voice.
AI should not take away people's jobs and turn paintings into posters, which is why DarkShine is developed as much as possible by human hands and their exuberant artistic impulses. In some rare moments, such as improving blurred textures and mechanical issues, it acts as an assistant where it is necessary to write a complex system with complex and comprehensive code without involving highly paid specialists. The majority of the game is the work of a living person with all their small achievements and mistakes.
Some elements of the artwork have been enhanced, upscaled or generated from source materials by AI tools. As the development progresses this art will be gradually replaced.
Some AI services are used to create partly basic game graphics, marketing texts and code. All material is then hand-crafted to final forms. The AI used to steer the boats is not generative AI, it's a special code separately created and tested.
AI was used solely to generate the store page artwork, specifically for the title image. No AI was used in the actual game itself—game assets, environments, and mechanics are all created manually. All in-game screenshots displayed on the store page are genuine and accurately represent the gameplay experience.
