Public Steam disclosure research 25,376 disclosures tracked
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.
Code help, debugging and other development work.
Capsule art, trailers and promotional material.
Pre-made art, audio, writing and other game assets.
Interactive or runtime AI features disclosed by the developer.
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.
Some of the store artwork (Steam capsules) are designed with assistance of generative AI. The game itself - includding the music, levels, code and all artwork - is "hand made" without any of this AI stuff.
I used AI Art for the store page and some of the game assets. I used GitHub CoPilot, ChatGPT and other LLMs for to diagnose code issues.
We use AI tools to help us improve our audio voices, and some texts. No content is generated solely using AI.
Promotional image used in the store and monster image
Certain voice-overs for the in-game AI companion were produced with the help of generative AI for DLC.
AI is used for some images and promotional materials. It also serves as a working basis for image editing. It is used anecdotally. It has been used for some secondary elements of the game to populate the universe, such as decorative objects. AI is not used exclusively. As a solo dev, I also work with freelance artists for main content and assets on the Unity Store.

Usage of AI-Generated and Assisted Illustrations in Shadow Empire Post-release Illustration Creation Process The developers use Midjourney and Nano Banana to generate high-resolution illustrations for new functionality added post-release, particularly for Vidcom and Stratagem artwork. These images are often post-processed by hand, as well as enhanced using tools like Magnific, Topaz Labs, or other upscaling and refinement software. AI in Post-release Portrait Art Portraits: A base image is generated using Midjourney with a generic prompt such as “portrait of young woman, military.” Smaller parts (eyes, nose, mouth, hair, etc.) are overlaid using DALL·E to create variations. Aging effects are achieved by rendering an older skin texture with partial transparency over the younger base face. The older the character, the more opaque the overlay becomes. (Note: Eyes and lips often retain a youthful appearance.) This effect is gradually applied using a limited number of sprite layers, allowing nuanced visual transitions. AI-Generated Art in Post-release Game Content The game includes AI-generated and AI-assisted illustrations for Vidcoms and Stratagems. All such AI-generated art is pre-generated — no generative AI tools are called or used in real-time by the game itself. The intention is to provide players with an option to toggle between the original and updated AI-enhanced graphics via preferences. (Note: This is an aim and may not yet apply to all content.)
Pre-generated textures, items and characters images in the game
Some event banners use AI generated images, some dialog uses AI generated content.
