Where do games disclose AI use?

This game is fully programmed by a human developer, including all gameplay systems, level design, and dungeon creation. Generative AI is used to assist with artistic elements such as textures, 3D objects/characters, and store visuals. All creative and technical decisions remain entirely human‑made.

We use AI to assist with ideation for some art assets, music, and programming, as well as to support asset creation during the prototyping stage. All final assets are manually recreated, arranged, refined, and exported by our team.

The music in Ammerow: Lands Beyond was created with Claude Compose, a bespoke composition system built for this project. Rather than a generative music model, it works like a tireless studio composer: an AI assistant (Anthropic's Claude) writes and runs code that composes each piece note by note — melody, harmony, counterpoint and orchestration derived from music theory — and performs it through real, licensed virtual instruments in a professional DAW (Ableton Live). It then "listens back" by analysing the rendered audio to refine the balance. No generative audio/music model was used, no AI was trained on other artists' recordings, and no track was produced from a prompt. Every note is placed deliberately, and every piece is directed, reviewed and approved by a human. The result is authored, not generated. The sound effects are an original, human-directed procedural synthesis library. Claude Code assisted in writing custom Python DSP software and individual cue recipes; every waveform was deterministically rendered from mathematical models and recorded seeds. No recordings, performers, samples, stock audio, sample libraries or generative-audio service were used. Ammerow is designed primarily as a coloured ASCII game. Selected creature, item and shopkeeper illustrations began as AI-generated source images and are converted through a deterministic ASCII-art pipeline. The optional tile mode is a work-in-progress secondary presentation. Its small atlases were programmatically drawn in a custom SDL application using natural-language Codex direction. No generative-image model, inherited tileset, traced artwork or third-party graphical asset was used. Some narrative, gameplay data and other player-facing material were also developed with AI assistance under human direction and review. Some Steam marketing backgrounds were created using OpenAI image-generation tools and then selected, reviewed and combined with deterministic Ammerow branding by the developer. No AI runs while the game is being played.

Game illustrations and some sound effects, as well as part of the text and localization, are created using generative AI tools, then manually refined and validated. No content is generated by AI in real time, and the game design is human-made.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, gameplay and balance systems, mission and narrative text, UI copy, Korean–English localization, and some store and marketing text. Generative AI was also used to create an early pre-rendered concept image for the game's visual direction. The current in-game character and environment artwork, fonts, music, and most sound effects are human-created assets used under their respective licenses. The game does not generate content with AI at runtime, and players cannot submit prompts or interact with generative AI.

AI is used to create the initial draft translations for the game.

Deepwood Valley uses a generative AI language model to power conversations with the characters who live in the valley. The model runs entirely on your own computer — no account is required, and nothing you type is sent to us or to any third party. Every line of AI-generated dialogue passes through a deterministic content filter before it is displayed. This filter is compiled into the game, runs on all generated speech without exception, and cannot be turned off by the player or by mods. Character personalities, story, world design, and all art and audio are authored by our team.

EVER BELOW was created with the assistance of generative AI across parts of its content creation and development process, including visual assets and marketing materials. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, selected, edited where necessary, and all final creative and development decisions were made by the developer.

I am a solo developer leveraging AI to improve my efficiency while moonlighting this project. Hence, many temporary AI-generated assets make their way into the game but I hope to replace over 90% of those with handcrafted assets over time.

All core assets originate from the creativity of our human artists. The use of AI tools is strictly limited to assisting and refining the environmental background designs.

Some capsule artworks were created with the assistance of generative AI and subsequently edited and refined manually.

This game and store contains 2D artwork pieces created with the assistance of generative AI. These images are used as static artwork in story-driven cutscenes to help illustrate and convey the game's narrative. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay, all other game content was created without generative AI.

Some of the game's artwork — item and skill icons, character portraits, and the store capsule illustrations — was created with the help of generative AI tools, then reviewed, selected, and edited by hand. Localization drafts were machine-translated and then reviewed and corrected. No AI content is generated while you play: all content ships with the game.

No generative AI is used during live gameplay. During our development process we use generative AI for some algorithms, pixel art, some marketing content and where appropriate to improve code quality.

Some of the assets in this game were created using generative AI tools. Generated assets were reviewed by the developer and edited where necessary before use. The game itself does not use AI to generate content or code while it is running, and it does not connect to any external AI service.

While AI tools were used to assist with the creation of select assets for our game's store page, all featured assets are fully original designs developed by our internal team.

We used Generative AI tools solely to assist in creating capsule art and marketing assets for the store page. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.

This game makes use of generative AI as part of its creation process of art and localization.

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.

Grindveil's art is made with generative AI tools. We generate, then pick, crop, recolour and optimise every piece by hand before it ships, and we throw out the ones that do not fit. The same goes for part of the writing: item and location names, some of the lore in the in-game Codex, and the interface translations for our fourteen languages are drafted with AI help and reviewed by us. Nothing is generated while you play. No AI runs on your machine, nothing you type is sent to an AI service, and every image and every line of text in the game was made and checked before release.

Steam capsules are AI generated. SFXs are AI generated. Nothing else in the game is AI generated.

AI tools were used during the development of Slot Crawler to assist in creating select visual assets and promotional materials. Every AI-assisted element was reviewed, refined, and integrated by the developer to ensure consistency with the game’s artistic direction and quality standards.

We build Last Treasure Online with AI tools. Much of the code is written with AI, including shaders, scripts that model props and furniture in Blender, and scripts that synthesize sound effects and ambience. Most text in the game is AI generated, but all names, personalities, schedules, stories, lore, knowledge, etc is strongly scaffolded and enforced by us as designers. In play, NPCs speak through an AI language model on our server in order to talk about hundreds of subjects in different ways depending on what they know about them, you, the world, etc.... The model only rewords lines and facts we wrote: it cannot invent places, items, prices or quests, and players never type text into it. No images, textures, 3D models, music or sounds come from diffusion image, 3D or audio models. Characters and clothing are hand-painted, and the world's textures are photographs.

Generative AI was used to create or assist with certain Steam store-page marketing assets, including capsule/header artwork.

Some store-page and marketing artwork (capsule images, key art) was created with the help of generative AI tools. Some in-game sprite/visual assets were also produced or upscaled with AI-assisted tools as part of the HD remaster. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited and curated by the developer. The game does not use any live or real-time generative AI during gameplay, no AI content is generated on the fly for players.

AI has been used to help develop the game's cover art.

Valdrys uses AI-generated content in one place: the login screen background, a single static image of a moonlit ridge over a conifer forest, generated with Google Gemini. It does not appear in gameplay. Everything else in the game is hand-drawn, generated procedurally by our own tools, or licensed from third-party artists under CC0, CC-BY or commercial licences. All of it is credited on the in-game Credits screen. Parts of the game's code were written with the help of an AI coding assistant. No AI-generated art, audio or written content ships in Valdrys beyond the single background image described above. Nothing in Valdrys generates content while the game is running.

In the process of creating some 2D prop assets, generative AI technology was used in an assistive capacity. Any such assets are subject to our production pipeline, where they will be reviewed and replaced by our art and development teams to ensure they meet our quality standards and creative direction.

Generative AI was used during development to create and assist with some of the game's visual assets, including character artwork, event illustrations, backgrounds, and other graphical elements, as well as some of the music used in the game. AI-generated materials were reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before being included in the game. Generative AI is not used to dynamically generate gameplay, dialogue, story content, visual assets, or music while the game is running.

I've been using Generative AI tools as part of development for things like programming assistance, troubleshooting, research, brainstorming, and some concept exploration. ECHO//syntax is a work of mechanics made from love of the beat-em-up genre from CHROMAGEM. It is designed, directed, assembled, tested, and curated by me. I make the first and final decisions on the game's mechanics, characters, levels, visual direction, and overall design. As a designer that's looking to get a particular feel and experience with this game, I'm looking through and making sure you're getting a good game to play and enjoy.

Some character, enemy, and environment sprites in this game were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools during development. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the developers before inclusion.

I use Bezi, an AI coding tool for Unity to help develop some of the more complicated algorithms used in pathfinding and enemy AI. I review all generated code used in the game and make modifications when necessary.

Some assets in Keepwatch were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. This includes portions of the icon set, UI elements, a number of sound effects, and some character animations. All AI-assisted output is reviewed, edited and integrated by hand to match the game's hand-painted art direction, and none of it ships in the state it was generated in. Game code, systems design, economy balance and all written content are authored entirely by hand. Keepwatch does not use any AI systems at runtime. Nothing is generated on the player's machine while the game is running.

Slightly Random Dungeons prioritises human generated assets. Player-facing prose is constructed from bespoke human composed words (writer’s block pending). We have engaged a human artist for our bestiary, portraits and scenery art, and use human developed icons and inventory assets, UI elements, music and effects made in house or under licence with a minority of AI generated pieces filling gaps until the alternative arrives. Any AI agent use has been supervised by humans, these agents have not yet unionised.

We use AI to polish and iterate on the human prepared concepts, textures, sometimes the achieved final version is used in game. For game code, occasionally, we use a reliable snippet based generation, reviewed and ebmedded into the game by developers, for maximum stability.

This game's art and code are creatively directed by a human developer (me), directing, refining, reviewing, and quality-checking every part across hundreds of hours of iteration. I build it with Claude AI as my tool. The visuals are not pre-made image files or AI-generated images. They are drawn by code at runtime (procedural rendering) using standard 2D canvas drawing commands, and Claude AI writes and brings that code to life. The store page and marketing images come from that same in-game rendering. The game does not include third-party copyrighted material.

In this game, AI was used a little bit to help create some sprites and textures. Everything was edited by the developer before being added to the game.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of a limited number of graphical assets and promotional materials. The selected content was reviewed, adapted, and integrated by the development team. The game does not use live-generated AI, and no content is generated while playing.

Some visuals and audio were generated using AI.

Some dungeon background images were created using generative AI.

We are using AI to help structure and review written code by the team. AI is also in use for some artwork that will be changed at release!

Some of the content was co-created with the help of AI.

AI tools were used to generate some of the visual and background assets during development.

Pre-generated: Some 2D illustrations and the pre-recorded narration were produced with AI tools and reviewed by the developers before inclusion. Live-generated: An on-device language model (no internet connection) writes in-game text such as narration, dialogue, and the names and lore of items, relics and skills, and selects among game-defined options for certain run content. Damage, stats, difficulty and progression are governed by the game's own rules. Generated text is checked before it is shown, and no art or audio is generated at runtime.

We use AI to aid the team with coding and refactoring more quickly, texturing assets and background faster, and creating highly detailed cinematics. We have both original and AI generated music & sound effects. We DO NOT use AI for our story, narratives, dialog, 3D models, or character animations.

This game includes AI-assisted, human-curated and edited artwork (tile art, actor sprites, and other visual assets). All AI-generated art was reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer before being included. An LLM was used to co-author most code changes. An LLM was used to proof and ideate some of the dialog in the game. All dialog was curated and approved by a human.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with the development and coding of the game, including generating, modifying, and troubleshooting code that ships with the game.

As a small indie team, some of our initial localizations will use AI-assisted translation, and we hope to have them professionally reviewed and polished as our budget grows.

Some 3D character and creature models in this game were created with AI-assisted generation tools (Meshy) as a starting point, then hand-finished, rigged, textured, and integrated by the developer in Blender and Unity. Some quest dialogue text was also written with AI assistance and edited by the developer before being included in the game. No content is generated in real time during gameplay — everything players see is fixed at build time and has been reviewed and edited by hand.

Some of the artwork was created using AI tools. The code was also reviewed with, or assisted by, AI. If the concept finds its audience, we intend to pay an artist to produce artwork that is not AI-generated. Artists who would like to be part of the project are welcome to join us.
