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 game uses AI-assisted tools during development, including code generation, asset creation, music composition, map prototyping, and image generation. These systems are part of the production workflow and do not generate new content during gameplay.
AI for Coding: Development tools assist with scripting, debugging, and generating boilerplate code. All AI-generated code is reviewed and manually refined by the development team.
AI for Visual Assets: Some environmental elements, props, and textures are created or enhanced using AI image-generation tools. These images are always curated, edited, and finalized by artists to ensure consistency with the game’s historical art direction.
AI for Music: Background tracks and ambient layers may be composed with AI tools, then adjusted by human composers to match the tone of the game.
AI for Maps: AI is used to prototype terrain shapes and layout ideas, which are later fully redesigned and polished by level designers.
AI for Image Generation: Certain concept art, reference images, and early-stage visual drafts are produced using AI image-generation systems. These are used only as development references or starting points, not as final in‑game assets.
All AI-generated materials are static, pre-produced, and manually validated.
No AI system creates dynamic content, gameplay outcomes, or real-time images while the player is playing.
During the development process, our team may utilize AI-based tools in a limited, supplementary capacity to support content creation. This includes the creation of certain 2D prop assets and soundtrack pieces, as well as the localization of some languages. In all cases, the final touches and quality review were carried out by our own team, and the final product reflects our team's creativity and artistic expression.
I've spent years developing *Tenants of the Shade*, and our team has devoted thousands of hours to programming, artwork, and music. We also use generative AI tools to assist with editing and creating select assets, including some in-game icons and 3D models, as well as promotional materials.
The game is still in development, and these assets may change before release. We welcome questions about our creative process on Discord or in the Steam Community forums.
Some sound effects were generated with AI tools (ElevenLabs) and the in-game radio songs were generated with AI (Suno), under commercial licenses, then selected, edited and mixed by the developer. All visuals (3D models, textures, grass, logo, store art), gameplay and writing are made by the developer.
The pixel art was created with the help of AI image tools, then cleaned up, animated and assembled by hand. Sound effects and music were made with AI audio tools and edited for the game. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Generative AI assisted with pre-generated branding, Steam capsule and library artwork, store descriptions and translations. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
I'm a solo developer and not experienced with 3D art, so I used AI tools for parts of this game: some sound effects were generated with an AI audio tool, the logo and key art (also used for the store artwork and icons) were created with an AI image generator, and about half of the item artwork was made with AI-assisted tools and then reworked. Item names and descriptions and the store page text were written with the help of AI tools and reviewed by me; the translations were also created with the help of AI tools. With support from others, I would like to gradually replace the AI-assisted item artwork with assets made by people.
This game uses Generative AI tools during development to assist with asset, text, or code generation. All AI-generated content has been manually reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developers.

Some content in Cairn & Carat was created with the help of generative AI:
- The 3D models of the characters and the collection display shelf were generated with Meshy AI, then adjusted and set up in Unity by our team.
- In-game texts, their translations into the supported languages and the store page texts were written and translated with AI assistance.
No AI image generators were used for the game's visuals. The clover, trees, and ground were modeled and textured in the 3D software Blender from the developer's own photos of the real thing, then assembled into a forest in Unity. The concept, the photography, and the decisions about how the game looks were all the developer's own.
Made with help from AI
• The game's code and the Blender scripts that build the shapes and textures. The developer checked the finished visuals side by side with the photos of the real thing.
• The text in the game and on the store page, and its translation from Japanese into 10 languages, including English. The translations were made by AI and checked by a different AI. No native speaker has reviewed them, so if you spot a mistranslation, please report it through the support contact.
The sounds are nature recordings made by other creators and released as CC0 or public domain. No AI runs while you play.
