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.
Some background and terrain texture images in the game were generated using AI and may have been manually edited.
The courses in this game are procedurally generated using (traditional) algorithms, not on AI-based methods."
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.
(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.

Full screen pictures where made using AI during the EA / prototype of the game, we are in the process of replacing them all with our artists.
Everything else is handmade.
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.
of some of the character illustrations are used
Posing, facial expressions, and composition of some character illustrations are used as references.
I draw by hand while looking at the AI-generated materials.
AI was used to generate art for illustrating ingame events, encyclopedia pages, difficulty selection windows, host improvement illustrations and main menu backgrounds.
Generative AI is used only to assist with localization/translation. All localized text is reviewed and edited by the developer.
No AI-generated art, audio, or in-game live generation is used.
In the interest of transparency, illustrations were created with the help of AI-assisted tools, used as creative support within a human-led artistic process.
The app processes the frames from the video and uses AI to predict how much movement each pixel has along the X and Y axes. The AI model then generates optical flow data for both axes, which are just floating-point numbers for X and Y.
With this information, traditional methods are used to create a new frame by combining parts of the two original frames. The AI doesn't generate new RGB data; it only uses the RGB data from the original frames.
AI art is used as placeholder for cards who's artwork is not yet finished. We are regularly replacing artwork with hand made artwork. The final product won't have any ai or placeholder artwork.
1. We used ChatGPT-4 to make some custom javascript plugins.
2. Used ChatGPT-4/DALL-E3 to generate some of the faces of NPC's, also some icons for the system menu.
We confirm that AI-assisted tools were used in the development of our game. The specific scope and manner of use are as follows:
1. Type of AI-Generated Content:
* Text Content: We used AI text-generation tools to assist in creating initial drafts for some of the in-game copy during the early conceptual stages of development.
* This includes content for:
* Background stories and design documents for boss characters, frigates, and other units.
* Descriptive text for player skills.
* Preliminary outlines and descriptions for the game's overall story background.
* In-game text such as enemy names and skill descriptions.
2. Our Workflow and Human Oversight (The Key Part):
* AI's role was that of an "Assistant Tool": The AI was used solely to generate preliminary, unpolished text drafts and inspiration based on core ideas and directions provided by our producers.
* Deep Human Optimization and Review: All AI-generated text underwent strict review, selection, rewriting, and optimization by our producers and development team. We ensured:
* Creative Direction: The final design direction and core ideas were entirely determined by the human team.
* Content Ownership: We hold full and legal rights to all final content included in the game. The content, after profound human modification and optimization, is no longer a purely AI-generated product but the intellectual property of our team.
* Quality and Compliance Control: We ensured all textual content met our quality standards and Steam's distribution rules, containing no infringing, offensive, or inappropriate material.
3. Commitment and Assurance:
* We guarantee that the final version of the game does not directly include any unmodified AI-generated output.
* We take full responsibility for all content in our game.
In Summary: AI was used as a tool for assistance and inspiration during the design phase, but the final generation, approval, and copyright of all game content are the sole responsibility of our human development team.
