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 store page artwork (capsule images, header, library images and logo) was created with the help of generative AI tools. Part of the game's source code and development tools were also written with the help of AI coding assistants, then reviewed and integrated by the developer. The in-game content itself (3D visuals from licensed asset packs, CC0 sound effects, texts) is not AI-generated, and the game does not use generative AI while playing. All screenshots are captured from the actual game.
Our AI assistance is mainly focused on copy polishing (e.g., correcting typos and logical errors), a small amount of scene refinement and VFX for the second part of the game (the second part is a redesign of some original scenes from ICEY; after handcrafting the concept design and finishing the demo, we use AI to batch-reduce repetitive work), and some programming implementation and test cases.
In all other areas—such as concept design, character design (character illustrations), scene design and related design work, combat animation and VFX, and scene implementation (from hand-drawn 2D animation to final implementation)—there is no AI content at all. The specific iteration details are basically all in the development VLOG; if you're interested, feel free to look through it.
During development we use AI assistance in certain tasks, such as generative fill to extend artist drawn artwork. All major art has been drawn by human artists.
The game has optional computer generated voice overs.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create portions of the artwork, character and environment assets, cinematic visuals, music, sound effects, voice recordings, text, localization, and store marketing materials. These assets are prepared in advance and incorporated into the game by Keke Studio. The game does not generate AI content or connect to third-party generative AI services during gameplay.
Generative AI was used during development to create some artwork, character animation assets, music, and promotional artwork. These assets were prepared before release. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to an AI service.
Artificial intelligence was used to assist in development, primarily for the front end, and AI generated content is used in game for text and voices via local models ran on the player's system or external models provided by the player.
This game was developed with the help of AI tools. AI assisted with programming, and some pre-generated content was created with AI assistance: pixel-art visual effects, background music, Japanese and Chinese translations, and parts of the store page text. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play.
HELIOBANE was made with the help of generative AI tools.
- Assets: AI was used to generate some of the game's assets, including artwork, voice lines, sound effects, in-game text and translations. Artwork was edited and fitted to the game's 32-colour palette and style before use.
- Music: the soundtrack was made with a custom tracker built for agentic work, by an AI trained on a curated collection of public-domain tracker (MOD) music.
- Some store page and marketing art is also AI-assisted.
Nothing is generated while you play. All content is fixed in the build, and the game does not connect to any AI service.
Parts of this game were made with the help of generative AI tools:
- 3,928 of the 6,608 character portraits were created with generative AI tools and then selected and retouched by a person. The other 2,404 are historical images from public archives such as Wikimedia Commons, and 276 reuse an existing picture.
- The title-screen key art was created with generative AI.
- The character biographies and historical event texts were written with the assistance of generative AI, based on historical sources, and edited by the developer.
- The English, Japanese and Traditional Chinese translations were produced with the assistance of generative AI.
No content is generated by AI while the game is running.
Pre-generated AI-assisted illustrations are used in the Yustar studio opening animation and Steam store and library promotional artwork. AI also assisted with the written store descriptions. No content is generated using AI during gameplay.
During development, generative AI tools were used to assist in creating the 78 card illustrations, composing ambient background soundscapes, and drafting card interpretations. All assets were curated, edited, and assembled by the developer to build an atmospheric, cohesive divination sanctuary. The game does not generate live AI content during runtime.
The in-game text and the store page text, including the Korean, Japanese and Simplified Chinese translations, were written with the help of AI. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Game text and translations were created with the help of AI tools. The public build has no AI voices; it has no voice acting yet. The art is not made with generative AI: it comes from free CC0 asset packs plus shapes and textures built in code. Sound effects are synthesized by our own scripts. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Some 2D art assets were created with the assistance of generative AI image tools and then heavily edited and cleaned up by hand before being used in the game. This includes the logo, some animals, the main menu background, and icon artwork. All such content is pre-generated and baked into the build; the game does not generate any content at runtime.
While every mission, achievement, perk, story beat and game mode was designed and built by hand, one at a time.
Some visual content, including parts of the backgrounds and selected graphics, was created with the assistance of generative AI and subsequently edited for the game. These elements serve as temporary placeholders during development and are intended to be replaced with custom artwork once a suitable artist joins the team.
AI-assisted tools were used to support performance optimization and to generate the player character. AI tools also contributed to enemy character assets, store artwork and translations. These uses concern content prepared during development.
A Light in the Gloam uses pre-generated AI content. Nothing is generated while the game is running, and the game makes no network calls of any kind.
Visual art: all in-game art was generated with OpenAI's image model (gpt-image-1) from prompts written by hand, then processed by our own scripts, which downscale it, quantise it to a fixed palette and trim it before it is placed in the game. This covers 14 character portraits, 43 enemy and boss sprites, 63 item icons, 27 wall, floor and ceiling textures, 10 dungeon props, 21 achievement emblems, and 14 town and title backdrops. The store capsules and the client icons are crops of the title-screen generation rather than new images.
Music and sound: all 14 music tracks were generated with ElevenLabs' music model and all 47 sound effects with ElevenLabs' sound-effects model, both from written prompts and both post-processed by our own scripts for level and length. There is no voice acting and no synthesised speech anywhere in the game.
Writing and translation: the game's text, meaning item and monster descriptions, dialogue, menus and the story, was written with the assistance of a large language model and then edited by hand. The Brazilian Portuguese translation was produced the same way and reviewed against the English.
Some character portraits were created with generative AI. AI tools were also used to help write and translate the store page and to translate the game's text. The story and dialogue were written by our team.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create pre-generated visual assets, including 2D background artwork, environment graphics, character sprites, and promotional store imagery. All AI-generated content was created prior to release, and no generative AI runs in real-time during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating and iterating on selected promotional artwork and graphical assets for Railwright, including materials used on the Steam store page and related marketing. Gameplay screenshots shown on the store page are captured from the actual game. Railwright does not use generative AI to generate content during gameplay.
ROOMKEEP includes pre-generated AI-assisted decorative artwork and AI-assisted interface text, help text, translations and marketing copy, edited and reviewed during development. AI tools were also used to assist software development. ROOMKEEP does not generate AI content while running, does not connect to an AI service, and does not upload game files to an AI service. Reported storage savings come from recorded measurements, not AI-generated estimates or invented results.
Some of this game's content was created with the help of generative AI tools during development:
- Artwork: some of the visual art in the game.
- Text: parts of the in-game writing, and the Simplified Chinese translation.
- Audio: a small number of sound effects. Most of the game's sound was made without AI.
Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
I'm a solo developer with a full-time job and a dad with two wonderful little kids. Full Count Club is a game I've wanted to make for a long time. AI tools are how I fit it into the time I have: they helped create the illustrated art, some sound effects, and some in-game writing such as newspaper headlines. I direct, select and edit all of it. The game does not generate any AI content while you play.
This game uses a mix of human and generative AI tools. AI was used in some visual art assets, code generation, and portions of the store page text. All writing in the game, voice acting, and music are fully human-created.
Dicebound uses generative AI as part of the development process for some pre-generated content. This includes certain visual assets and promotional/store materials, as well as some drafting support for interface text and localization. All AI-assisted content has been reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game or on the store page. Dicebound does not use live generative AI during gameplay, and players cannot generate content through AI in-game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with concept development and the creation of some visual assets. AI-generated material was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to fit the game’s visual style and design. Generative AI is not used during gameplay and no content is generated dynamically for players.
Gród is designed, built and tested by a solo developer. Every rule, system and pixel of the game follows my own vision.
AI tools helped with parts of the production: the voice lines, the music and some store artwork were created with generative AI, then selected, edited and fitted into the game by me. The in-game pixel art is drawn by the game's own code, with no AI image generators.
Screenshots and GIFs show real gameplay. The game does not use generative AI while you play.

AI tools were used to help draft and edit some English text: store page copy and some in-game UI strings such as hints, item descriptions and dialogs. All text was reviewed and edited by the developer. All art, models, audio and music are human-made or licensed assets. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
The game's story, design and text were created by the developer. Generative AI was used as an assistant when writing the text of this store page and of the game, and to translate it into 12 languages; all of it was reviewed and edited by the developer. One song on the car radio ("Broken Hearts and Blue Moons", licensed from Pixabay) was produced by its author with generative AI. No content is generated while you play.
Almost all content in our game was handcrafted, we used real photos of berries, fruits and etc. to make donuts designs. We used AI as a supportive tool: to edit a few wall paintings, upscale and edit some textures, and fix grammar in the text.
We firmly believe AI is just an assistant—the core of our game remains human creativity and attention to detail.
Generative AI tools were used as development assistance for portions of the game’s code and player-facing text. All final content was reviewed, edited, integrated, and tested by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI or connect to any AI service during gameplay.
