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.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create selected pre-generated textures, sound effects, and promotional artwork. These materials are used as individual components within the game and its marketing rather than being generated dynamically.
AI-assisted materials are selected, edited, adapted, composed, and integrated by the developer to fit the game's original visual and audio direction. The game's design, gameplay systems, implementation, world building, and overall creative direction are developed by the developer.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while running.
Generative AI tools were used as development assistants, including assistance drafting and editing portions of store-page marketing text. All player-facing content is reviewed and edited by the developer. Main Street Operator does not use generative AI during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while the game is running.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating some character illustrations, background images, and localized text. All generated content was reviewed, edited, and adjusted by the developer before being implemented in the game. The game does not generate any AI content in real time during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating store promotional artwork, drafting artwork descriptions, and translating interface and notebook text. The paintings used as puzzles are existing historical artworks, not AI-generated images. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
AI tools were used during the development of this game to assist with brainstorming, development, and content refinement. All final content was reviewed and integrated by the development team. The game does not generate AI content in real time during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with creating certain puzzle artworks, background visuals, and ambient music tracks. The game does not feature any real-time, live AI generation while playing.
Pre-generated AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of source code and localization, and to create the store capsule/key artwork. All outputs were reviewed, edited, and curated by the developers. The game's playable visuals are rendered procedurally by the shipped code. The product contains no live-generative AI, does not accept AI prompts from players, and does not send player data to an AI service.
Generative AI was used during development for early visual exploration and as a creative assistance tool. Any AI-assisted visual material included in the game or store assets is substantially edited and art-directed by the developer. Final game art, visual design, and implementation are created and curated by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Program code, UI text, the thirteen-language interface localization and store page copy were produced with the assistance of generative AI tools. The character model was hand-made by a 3D artist; environment models, music and sound effects come from credited human authors and licensed asset packs; all screenshots and promotional images are rendered in-engine. No AI-generated imagery or audio is included.
The game uses generative AI in a limited capacity to create small aesthetic UI elements (such as icons and the mouse cursor), to assist with game translations, and to generate voiceovers for promotional materials, such as the game's trailer and to make minor adjustments.
We only consider AI to be a supportive tool. Every detail is meticulously crafted with human intent, as our creative process is still firmly anchored in manual craftsmanship.
Pre-generated AI tools were used to assist in creating 2D character, environment, interface, and promotional artwork. No content is generated by AI during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Props to you for checking this out! I used AI to help code some of the newer features and port this from my original mobile build as it saved a lot of dev time. Everything else—sounds, amateur vector art, and the remaining 85%+ of the code is completely human-crafted.
The developer of The Grotto Index used generative AI tools during development to help create some of the game's visual assets, including specimen pixel art and illustrations. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game. No content is generated by AI during gameplay — every puzzle, image, and piece of text in the shipped game is fixed and was finalized before release.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation and refinement of certain pre-generated 2D visual assets, including environment artwork, character sprites, and store marketing images.

This game uses generative AI tools during development. Some textures were created with AI image-generation models as part of the art pipeline, and portions of the text (such as store page copy and in-game descriptions) were drafted with AI assistance and then reviewed and edited by the developer. No content is generated in real time during gameplay.
Suno (commercial rights) was used to generate the game's music and the hobo's spoken lines, then hand-selected and edited to match the tone of the game. The translated dialogues were produced with the assistance of a language model.
The game's design and direction are entirely my own. All visuals are generated procedurally by the game's own code.
Some 2D art in Kyle Coral — including certain background/scene art and store and marketing images — is created with the help of generative AI image tools and then reviewed and edited by the developer. The game's core gameplay visuals are generated procedurally in code.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine visual artwork and music, and to assist with programming. All final content was directed, selected, edited and integrated by the developer. AI is not used at runtime and the game does not generate new content while you play.

This game uses generative AI tools in a few areas: some 2D art assets (such as the main menu background, title logo, and UI icons), some background music and sound effects, and the drafting and translation of store page text. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the developer to ensure quality and appropriate use.
This is a temporary placeholder poster. They will be removed before release and replaced with hand-drawn illustrations. Currently, I'm the only programmer working on the game. Closer to release, I'll be hiring an artist to collaborate on the game.
