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.
I am a single developer. AI is used to speed up some processes, some marketing and concept materials are made with AI as a base to improve on and deliver better game.
There are optional AI soundtracks in the game.
Some videos and images in this game are generated using artificial intelligence. AI tools were used to enhance visual effects and create unique scenes, carefully aligned with the game's art style.
As a small, two-person independent development team, we utilized generative AI tools to create some of our character visuals and background artworks due to budget constraints. To ensure originality and maintain our artistic vision, these AI tools were guided by our own artist's original work, with their explicit permission. Please note that these AI-generated assets are currently serving as placeholders. As development continues and our resources grow, we plan to replace them with original, hand-drawn artwork in future updates. The game does not feature any live AI content generation during gameplay.
During the development process, we may use AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.
Some minor visual assets, such as icons and UI elements, were created or assisted using licensed AI tools during development.
All AI-assisted content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer to ensure consistency with the overall art direction and quality standards.
AI is not used in gameplay systems, code, or real-time content generation.
Some written content (store descriptions, in-game text) and select marketing images were created with the assistance of AI tools. No AI-generated content is used in gameplay, game assets, or game systems.
AI generated fictional football player faces (facepack)
Interactive AI NPC's (players and staff members)
AI generated translations of text and UI elements.
Some pre-generated visual assets used in the game and its store/marketing materials, including certain splash images and UI icons, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. These assets were integrated as pre-generated content during development. The game does not use live-generated AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while running.
This game has used AI in debugging and some code tweaks with help from a human, and some development assets that have since been replaced with human made assets
About 98% of the art assets in this game are human authored. 100% are human edited.
Which assets used ai:
-7 pro logos that could not be satisfied with dev skills or outsourcing
-The purple images in the SportsZone intro. These were generated because no public domain photos of 1990s era football players exist and pixel art or digital art were not appropriate.
-The studio background and suit.
-The store page assets used public domain images which then received minor ai changes, colors, hair, text, etc. This was done because they needed to look like real photos rather than obvious composites.
During development, AI-based language tools were used to assist with the localization of in-game text across the languages supported by the game. All AI-assisted translations were reviewed, edited, and validated by the developer before inclusion in the build. The game does not connect to any AI service at runtime; no content is generated live during gameplay.
During development, we used AI-assisted tools to support the localization of in-game text into multiple languages. All AI-generated translations were reviewed and edited by our team to ensure accuracy and consistency with the game's tone and characters. Additionally, some food and cooking-related props were initially generated with AI-assisted tools and then manually refined by our artists to match the game's visual style and quality standards.
There's a full document detailing everything here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WIOGXHzCXwShVBGKuAYDpamK03sfzuYztLCzEqkt-sQ/edit
The short summary is that AI was used for a single graphical asset, some code, and some text strings that are largely unimportant for understanding the game.
This game does not use generative AI in real time.
Any generative AI content is created only in advance, in accordance with Steam's guidelines.
Programming
Generative AI tools may be used to assist with code completion, refactoring, and review. All code is subject to final human review before use.
Translations
For languages other than Japanese, AI tools may be used for translation.
Assets
Some in-game graphics and promotional images may be created with generative AI tools. All such assets are reviewed and edited by a human, and none are used as-is.
Generative AI is used to assist with the creation of some art assets, voice content, and localization/translation. All localized text is reviewed and edited by the developer.
Currently, we use AI to modify some of the character voices featured in the game. Additionally, we are planning to introduce several features that leverage Generative, including:
- Seedling Speech Bubbles: AI-generated dialogue for Seedlings to enhance their interactions.
- Seedling Thought Bubbles: AI-generated internal thoughts to give Seedlings more personality and depth.
- Seedling Responses: AI-driven replies to messages that players send to their Seedlings.
All of our art assets are handmade by our artists. We only use AI for things that would not be technically possible otherwise.
We use a text-to-speech solution for the voices because we want to include custom names for vehicles, streets and employees (which can also be changed) in the messages. We also want to support modding missions with voices. None of this is possible with pre-recorded footage.
The VTuber characters involved in the game were pre-created through the generative artificial intelligence tool MidJourney, entirely by the developers using pure text prompts, without deriving from an "upgrade" or "modification" of anyone else's work.
Several music tracks used AI tools during production. When possible I used historical paintings for reference in drawing pixel art for cards, but some card art used generated art for inspiration instead.
As an assistive measure, AI has been implemented into our code practices throughout early development. This includes the use of specialist AI models to assist with code reviews, optimisation and minor troubleshooting and bug fixes. Whilst AI has been used in this way, this in no way compromises or risks the quality of any features, content or security, and all code is ultimately reviewed by a human.
This game was developed independently by a solo developer. Generative AI tools were used in a limited capacity during production, specifically to assist with the texturing of certain visual assets and the conception of some written content. All gameplay systems, models, game design, art direction, music, and core creative decisions were made entirely by the developer.
For the development of The Bus, AI was used occasionally and to a limited extent as a supportive tool, for example for passenger voices or textures. All content was ultimately reviewed, revised, and integrated into the game by our team.
Some store artwork and promotional images were created with the assistance of AI image generation tools. All game logic, commentary text, fight simulation, and gameplay content are authored by the developer using traditional programming — no generative AI is used during gameplay.
