Public Steam disclosure research25,380 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.
Daily code audits using AI, mainly focussed on optimization.
Some hud art is generated as concept art, then altered or remade to specifically fit the game theme. We plan to replace all before release.
Actual building blocks and pixelart is partly bought from isometric art sellers and most of them recrafted by hand.
No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Generative AI was used as a development aid for some pre-generated marketing artwork, concept artwork, localization drafts, and selected visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
We use AI tools to assist development. Some 3D models are generated with the assistance of AI tools (Meshy) from our own concept designs, and are then reviewed, adjusted, and integrated into the game by the team. Some store page text was drafted with AI assistance and then edited by the developers.
No generative AI runs at runtime. Players never receive AI-generated content while playing.
CrashFest is a one-person game, built in Unity between coffee and complaints from playtesters. It started as a physics experiment about shoving a low-poly car off a ledge and got out of hand once six controllers were plugged in.
I’m a software engineer, not an artist. So a good chunk of CrashFest was made together with Claude AI — art direction, shaders, menus, the visual bits I’d never have drawn on my own — and the soundtrack comes out of Suno. The code, the physics and every questionable design decision are mine.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of selected visual assets and promotional materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while being played.
Lateral Crawl will launch in Early Access. The Early Access build will contain some AI-generated and developer-edited sound effects, which are planned to be replaced before the 1.0 release.
Generative AI tools were used during development of this game.
2D art, including character illustrations and in-game documents and photographs, was created with image generation tools, then edited and composed by hand.
Some 3D props and environment models were created with a model generation service, then adjusted for the game.
Background music was created with a music generation service. Sound effects are not generated; they are openly licensed recordings that we processed ourselves.
AI coding tools assisted with writing and reviewing code. All final decisions and edits are made by the developer.
Every generated asset was selected and reworked by a person before it went into the game.
Generative AI was used during development to assist in the creation of the game’s logo as a pre-rendered marketing asset.
No generative AI is used during gameplay, and no AI-generated content is created or shown to players while playing the game.
Generative AI was used selectively during
development, always under direct human
authorship and review:
• Code — An AI coding assistant supported
development as a productivity tool; all systems
were designed, reviewed, and tested by the
developer.
• Key art — The Steam key art was created with
generative AI, then curated and hand-finished by
the developer. All in-game tilesets and
character art are licensed, human-made asset
packs.
• Music — Background music tracks were produced
with the assistance of generative AI tools, then
selected, edited, and mixed by the developer.
The game contains no live-generated AI content:
nothing is generated by AI at runtime.
Some visual assets in the game were originally created and edited manually using image editing software, and were later refined with generative AI tools. AI was used only as part of the visual refinement process. Final assets were reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.
Generative AI was used to create some pre-generated artwork and music included in the game and its promotional materials. AI-generated content was reviewed and selected by the developer before being included. The game does not use generative AI to generate content live during gameplay.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of source code and early drafts of store-page
and localization text. All AI-assisted output was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not
generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
AI tools were used to draft store page text and to translate the in-game text into English, Japanese and Chinese.
AI was also used for part of the art.
All of this was reviewed and edited by the developers.
No AI-generated content is created while the game is running.
AI tools were used as an aid in the English localization of this title. All
original narrative content, artwork, music, and game systems were created by
human authors.
AI tools were used during development as a learning and support aid. They helped me understand development workflows, troubleshoot technical problems, explore gameplay and UI ideas, and create early concept images used as visual references. All final decisions, implementation, balancing, and content selection were handled and reviewed by me. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Pre-rendered Content:
Generative AI tools and agentic AI development workflows were utilized during the creation of this game to assist in:
- Code & Systems: Writing and optimizing core gameplay logic, typescript structures, and simulation algorithms.
- Visual Assets: Creating and pre-rendering all visual assets used in-game, including boot screen artworks, drive interfaces, and graphical components.
- Localization: Translating and reviewing in-game text and UI labels.
Please note that all AI-assisted assets and code were pre-rendered and compiled during the development phase. The game runs entirely locally and does not perform any real-time (live) AI generation, nor does it connect to any external AI APIs or services during gameplay.
"Generative AI tools were used to create 2D promotional images and capsule artwork for the Steam store page. The game itself does not use real-time AI generation during gameplay."
Generative AI was used during development to assist in creating some pre-generated visual artwork and illustrative assets, including artwork used within the Chronicle system. All AI-assisted content is created and reviewed during development and is included in the game as finished assets. Echo Harvest does not use generative AI to create content dynamically during gameplay.
During development of this game, generative AI was used for the creation of some sound effects and background music, localization.
Generative AI was not used in the creation of the game's artwork or story.
Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some promotional and visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game or its Steam store materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
This game makes limited, supplementary use of generative AI tools during development. The primary uses are programming assistance (such as debugging), certain image and audio assets, and assistance with translating text into English.
Generated image and audio assets are not used as-is. The development team reviews their content and makes additions, revisions, edits, and other adjustments to ensure that they are appropriately refined and fit the game.
For text translated with the assistance of generative AI, the development team reviews the context and content and makes any necessary revisions before using it in the game. Please note that generative AI does not generate any game content during gameplay.
The game is developed entirely by a solo developer. AI has therefore only been leveraged as a tool for productivity and efficiency - the overall game is fully imagined, designed, and brought together by the developer.
Standard C++ game code, written during development with the assistance of an AI programming assistant, used as a pair-programming tool. This includes gameplay systems (crafting, inventory, world simulation), rendering and UI code, and development tooling. It is ordinary, static game logic.
AI assistance was used only during development, directed by myself through specific requests, with every change reviewed, tested, and committed to version control by myself.
The shipped game contains no AI models and does not execute or generate any code or content via AI at runtime. The game is a fully offline, single-player experience.
Generative AI was used during development as a coding assistant and to assist with drafting and translating store-page and marketing text. Some pixel-art assets were rendered by deterministic drawing code written with AI assistance; the final images were not directly output by a text-to-image or diffusion model. All shipped and published content was reviewed and edited by the developer. No generative AI runs in the game, and no content is generated from player input.
All artwork (characters, monsters, environments, visual effects) and much of the game's code were created with generative AI tools. No content is AI-generated while the game runs.
Some pre-generated visual and audio assets used in TOWERPULSE were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. These assets were selected, edited, and integrated by the developer.
TOWERPULSE does not use generative AI at runtime. No player prompts, gameplay content, dialogue, or other assets are generated live while the game is running.
