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.
AI is used to create the initial images. All images are then refined through a series of edits. This includes upscaling, adjusting lighting and color balance, detailed touch-ups, redrawing specific elements, noise reduction, sharpening, adding artistic effects and more to ensure the highest visual quality possible. AI tools also assist in the creation of the game's original soundtrack. These pieces undergo extensive refinement through edits, including rewriting melodies and lyrics, adding custom instrumentation, mixing and mastering each track and more.
Generative AI was used to enhance and upscale background assets from earlier development versions. Additionally, AI tools were utilized to generate intermediate frames for the game’s animatic sequences, assist in the coloring process and to provide the initial translation of the script into English.
Generative AI was used to create ONLY the cover image for this title. ALL other images, videos and content in the game and on the store page was created by either the developer or human artists.
As indie developers, in order to improve our game content within limited resources, we used AI-assisted tools for「some background music tracks」during the early creation phase to generate drafts and inspiration references. The final version of these tracks was still manually designed and adjusted by our team.
We also confirm that visual assets in the game are original creations by our artists, no AI image generation tools were used for the game's visuals.
AI has been utilized for character sprites, backgrounds, music, opening/ending animations, voice acting, scenario writing assistance, and store images.
For languages other than Japanese (English, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Korean), translations were made using ChatGPT localization. Therefore, some expressions may appear unnatural.
All CGs, sprites, music, voice acting, and writing is human-generated by the artists listed on the credits screen in game.
AI-generated assets were used exclusively for backgrounds as a cost-saving measure due to being a solo indie developer on a limited budget.
By using generated backgrounds, the available funds were better spent on having more important human-generated assets, like MANY more CGs, voice acting, and new outfits for the characters.
An in-depth post regarding this decision was made prior to development on Patreon and Discord. All members were informed about its use and the tradeoffs being considered. Members and supporters agreed they'd prefer to have more CGs and voiced lines instead of custom backgrounds.
No patreon funds or profits from the earlier game were pocketed. This was purely a resource allocation decision. If the funds were available to do all custom backgrounds, that would have been done.
The application was developed using artificial intelligence. However, it does not directly generate content within our application. It was only used to create text, images, and new music.
This game includes a limited use of AI-generated assets, such as a few background images (including the poker room scene) and promotional drafts, created using tools like Leonardo AI. These elements were carefully reviewed, manually edited, and are only used in non-interactive visual contexts.
Additionally, AI tools were used to assist with spelling and grammar correction in the German, French, and Italian translations of the game's dialogue.
All main characters, UI elements, and story content were created by humans. No AI is used during real-time gameplay.
Part of the modified content of this game is generated with AI assistance, including (some character drawings, backgrounds, CG, music, etc.). All AI-generated content is manually reviewed and optimized to ensure quality and consistency.
This game uses AI-generated content based on legal data sets, complies with Steam policy content, and ensures no infringement of third-party copyrights.
All images in the game were generated using AI technology. This includes character designs, backgrounds, and various visual elements throughout the game. By leveraging AI, our goal was to create unique and visually appealing graphics that enhance the overall gaming experience. Additionally, the music was also generated by AI, contributing to the immersive and original atmosphere of the game.
When you engage in a conversation, the desktop pet generates text and speech through AI, and triggers actions and expressions. Some store promotional materials temporarily use AI-generated images as placeholders (excluding screenshots).
AI tools were used to assist with localization. All translated texts were fully reviewed and edited by humans. No AI was used to create artwork, music, sound effects, or game design.
I used AI-generated images as inspiration in the creation of visuals. These images served as a starting point, and I then manually refined and adjusted them to create the final banners and promotional materials.
The vast majority of the artwork in the game was created by our team of artists, hired freelancers or purchased on market places. In some cases, AI was used to generate reference images to assist with the creative process, but all final assets were either fully redrawn or significantly refined by human artists to ensure quality and originality.
In developing Path of the Ory, I harnessed the power of AI tools to create compelling and immersive ending cutscene. Using art editing software, I refined the visual elements of the final cutscene to align with the story’s rich, fantasy-driven aesthetic, enhancing the details and creating cinematic transitions. For voice acting, Eleven Labs provided narration. Suno’s AI-driven music composition tools helped craft two unique songs for the game.
The game uses Artificial Intelligence to generate non-realistic images and characters. AI is used to generate the background of some locations. AI was used to generate marketing materials.

No Live-Generated AI content is used.
During the development of Through the Edges, generative AI tools were used to create certain graphical elements and musical compositions. However, all AI-generated content has been carefully edited, refined, and adjusted manually to match the game's artistic style and atmosphere.
AI does not influence gameplay in real time and does not generate content during the playthrough. All storylines, characters, and dialogues were written manually to ensure a unique and well-crafted narrative experience.

AI was used to create all the visuals in the game. However, every illustration required manual reworking, whether through adjustments, graphic polishing, or integration into the game.
I understand that some may not appreciate this approach. Please know that my main goal has always been to create a fun and enjoyable game. I am a solo developer who left my job to dedicate 100% of my time to making video games.
To be honest, I don’t know how to model in 3D or illustrate in 2D, which is why I used AI as a support tool. I’m fully aware that AI can be seen as a sensitive topic, and that’s why I’ve been reworking the visuals as much as possible. My wish is also, if the game allows me the resources after release, to collaborate with a 2D artist to further enhance the visual identity.
Thank you sincerely for your understanding, and I truly hope you’ll enjoy playing Vampire Cat despite these choices. Your support means the world to me.
- AI was used outside this game to generate images that were used in game development. These images were edited manually in image editor softwares to have failures corrected and being adapted to the game.
- Logo, basic design cards, UI, icons and animations were drawn by hand. No AI were used in general graphic design.
- This game doesn´t use AI during gameplay. This game can´t generate any new images, sounds, fonts, texts, codes or any new content during gameplay or when player isn´t playing. There is no live AI inside this game or any AI that interacts with player inside this game.
AI was used to generate the backgrounds, enemies, and character portraits.
Gyudon Games consists of a single developer who deeply respects artists and understands that AI cannot replace their creativity.
"Guild Encounters" is a labor of love, inspired by many JRPGs of the past. Without the use of AI, creating this game would not have been possible given the developer's limited resources.
I hope you understand this decision. Thank you for your support—I will continue working hard to deliver the best experience possible!
