Public Steam disclosure research26,450 disclosures tracked
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.
The package image of this game was created using multiple AI tools.
Part of the background image and background character: Created using Stable Diffusion and provided under the CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.
Part of the logo design: Created by Sonic-Alpha using OpenAI's generative AI, "ChatGPT," under the paid "ChatGPT Plus" plan.
No AI-generated elements are included in the main game or in-game content.
In-game patient responses are generated in real time with offline local language model. Game logo animation and part of game music samples/loops have been produced with tools utilizing generative technology.

No AI-generated elements are included in the main game or in-game content.
Generative AI was used to generate images for Store Capsule Assets and Library Capsule, Header, and Hero Assets. The game screenshots and gameplay footage (trailer) were not generated by AI and are unaffected by any AI.
Chat GPT is used to search for programming solutions and
to generate names.
AI is used to translate to other languages than English.
The paintings are prepared with a mixed canvas of AI images, 3D models, photos, textures and other paintings. And is then manually painted over, together with some filters and effects.
Generated audio melodies, voices and sound filters for game events are used.
The storefront Logo for this game was created with the help of AI-assisted tools and was then further developed through manual work — modified, improved, and integrated to align with the game’s overall style and vision. No other AI generation was used in the development of this game.
Some game content, marketing materials, and character voices for Medieval Frontiers were created or translated with the assistance of AI tools. While we use these technologies to support our workflow, every feature and narrative beat is a result of our team’s deliberate creative decisions. The final experience is hand-guided by our vision to ensure the world feels authentic to our players.
AI tools were used in the production of the voice acting. We are a five-person team that has been working on this project for several years without the budget of a large studio. In our case, this was a practical solution that allowed us to complete the game at the level of quality we were aiming for. All creative decisions and the final shape of the game were made by our team. AI was used as a supporting production tool, not as a replacement for the creative work behind the game.
Using LLM Code Agent for indie development speed up (no "VIBE CODING", it's originally human made project in 2012-2025, author starts using LLM as smart assistant code edit tool since December 2025)
AI stock images and generative AI content is occasionally used in the development process of art assets we use for things like, but not limited to, event themes.
AI-assisted coding tools have been used to help develop code for game updates. No AI-generated artwork, audio, music, or other creative content has been used.
The Art Director chose a composition for each background.
They were then made by professional artists or, for a few, bought on Adobe Stock.
Finally, the art director enhanced each background in Photoshop and also through LeonardoAI.
This application utilizes AI technology solely for upscaling resolution and estimating depth from 2D images to create 3D effects. All processing is performed locally on your device, designed specifically to enhance the viewing experience of your personal media files. The AI does not autonomously generate new images, ensuring there is no risk of creating copyright-infringing content.
AI was used to generate the images of the characters in the default in-game database. There is also a 100% optional, opt-in only AI Chatbot assistant that can help provide booking ideas.
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.)

No AI-generated elements are included in the main game or in-game content.
I use PhotoShop's generative AI, Replica Studios for some voice acting, and ChatGPT for some quest dialogue. I also use Mid Journey to generate graphics. Most AI generated content is temporary and will be replaced when/if the game ever makes enough money to hire people to replace them.
All in-game content is created and authored by the development team.
Like most modern game development, our tools and software may include AI-assisted features for internal workflows such as iteration, editing, or placeholder experimentation. These tools do not generate final player-facing content.
We have used in-house AI models to generate background assets, font, and some voices.
We will continue to advance the practical application of AI in art creation. To discuss the latest progress in this field, welcome to contact us.

During development, we may use AI tools to assist with character voice-overs and certain illustrations. In all such cases, AI-generated materials are treated as draft content: our team selects, edits, and combines them before approving the end result. The final product is made under the full creative control of our developers and artists and reflects their artistic vision.
