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 character illustrations and their animation frames were created with the assistance of image-generation AI (Stable Diffusion), then manually layered, retouched and reviewed by the developer. All other content — game design, code, music, sound effects and text — is made by humans. No AI content is generated at runtime.
Pre-generated generative AI was used during development to create and refine some character illustrations, 3D character models, and selected visual or marketing assets. All generated material was reviewed and edited by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content during play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in the creation of visual and audio content. All AI-assisted content was created prior to release, reviewed and curated by the developer, and is included as part of the finished game. No generative AI is used during gameplay.
Our App employs AI-powered image generation tools to aid in the production of visual assets and background artwork for marketing materials, including store page screenshots and preview assets, as well as for full-screen in-game interfaces such as the home screen and event pages.
Some 3D models and pictures in the game were created with generative AI tools. Store promotional images were generated with AI and then manually edited.
Some of this game's assets were made with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed, curated and hand-finished by the developer. No content is generated while you play.
The ship and part artwork was generated with AI, then hand-edited and traced by me into the sprites and collision shapes the game actually uses.
Nothing generative runs while you play. There is no AI service wired into the build, and the game never calls one.
The music is licensed from real artists, and the sound effects come out of a script I wrote. Neither is AI.
I want to replace the AI art with work from real artists before Early Access ends. I am not going to promise a date for that, but it is what I am working toward.
Some of the artwork, audio, text, and program code in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content in real time during gameplay.
As an individual developer, during development of this game, AI tools were heavily used. I disclose this honestly and transparently.
1. In-Game Assets
Illustrations & Art: Unit portraits and the opening cinematic illustrations were generated using AI image models, then manually curated, retouched, and unified in style. All assets were human-reviewed under strict art direction to ensure historical tone and consistency.
Opening Cinematic: Subtle motion effects on the illustrations were produced with an AI image-to-video model and assembled by using the Remotion pipeline.
Background Music: The soundtrack was generated by an AI music model in multiple takes, then human-selected, mixed, and mastered.
Telegram Voice-overs: The historical telegram voice-overs in-game were synthesized by an AI TTS system. Each character's reference voice was human-approved through listening tests before use.
2. Development Assistance
Code: Game code was written and debugged with the aid of AI coding assistants. All code was human-reviewed and validated through automated testing.
Localization: The game supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English. The English text was AI-drafted and human-proofread.
3. What Is NOT AI-Generated
Historical Text: The telegrams in-game are taken from historical archives, 34 are verbatim transcriptions of the original documents, and 12 were written based on the sources. They were not AI-generated.
Terrain & Map: The battlefield map was procedurally rendered from real elevation data (SRTM), not generated by AI.
Game Balance & Statistics: Troop strength, Unit Introduction, and values were researched and set manually from historical sources, cross-checked for accuracy and play balance.
AI was used to create the full scores from chords and melody provided to create retro feel. All art and animations were drawn meticulously character by character using a personal editor I made, but I drew inspiration from generative AI to get the right feel or angles.
Visual Assets: As a solo developer, I use generative AI to create initial variations for scenery, textures, character sprites, and UI. No raw AI output ships in the game — every asset is hand-edited, composited, and cleaned up to match the game's aesthetic.
Music: The soundtrack and ambient music are created with AI audio tools, then curated and sequenced into a cohesive, atmospheric score.
Some of this game's assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and were then reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. This includes: base meshes of some 3D character models, some 2D artwork such as card illustrations and icons, voice lines and sound effects created with AI voice/audio generation, and parts of the localized text. All such content was pre-generated during development — the game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
Ravens of War uses generative AI to create some of the artwork and illustrations used in the game, including card artwork. This content is pre-generated and included as part of the game; the game does not generate new AI content during gameplay.
During the development of this game, generative AI was used to assist with the creation of some art assets, sound effects, music, text translations, and development reference materials. All AI-assisted generated content was manually reviewed, edited, integrated, and approved before being included in the game. No content is generated in real time based on player input during gameplay.
Guildfire uses pre-generated AI-assisted content in parts of its visual art, localization, sound effects, and soundtrack. AI-generated material is manually selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services at runtime.
Some visual and audio assets in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, and subsequently reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer. The game does not feature live or runtime generative AI during gameplay and does not generate content based on player input.
Pocket Pawns was made with the help of generative AI, and the game's own credits name every tool used.
Images and music: the chess piece art was generated with ChatGPT, the board art with Gemini, and the world and environment art from assets created with Nano Banana Pro alongside free-to-use CC0 packs found online. The soundtrack is from Suno.
Claude wrote the game's code, its writing, and its translations into ten languages — and made much of what you see and hear directly in code rather than from an image generator: the character pixel art, the in-world props and interface, the three-dimensional rooms, the animation, and the sound effects.
The chess itself is not generated. The puzzles come from the Lichess puzzle database, released under CC0, and your opponent is Stockfish, a classical open-source chess engine. Real positions, a real engine.
Nothing is generated while you play. Pocket Pawns creates no content at runtime and never connects to an AI service. It does not need an internet connection to play.
Crie au loup is made with AI, from the first prototype to the illustrations. That is not a manufacturing detail: it is as much the project as the game itself.
My role is not a craftsman's: I painted no card, and I did not write the code line by line. I designed the system, I direct it, I arbitrate and I verify. Deciding what makes it into the game, what gets redone, what gets cut: that is production work, and it is mine.
What is generated: the creature and location artwork, the interface, a large share of the code and the writing. What is measured rather than assumed: card balance, computed over thousands of simulated matches before every update. What is verified: the historical sources behind every legend, published one by one on the official site, where you can open them and prove me wrong.
What is never generated is your match. No image, no text and no game decision comes out of a model while you play: the engine is deterministic, and the solo opponent is a classic program applying the rules.
Crie au loup is one of the projects I run around generative AI, and the only one you can play. The making-of is documented without varnish in the devlog on the official site.
Some graphic assets (club crests, flags, and interface icons) were created
with the help of generative AI tools during development. All content is
original and fictional, and does not reproduce any real brands, crests, or
logos. The match simulation, the game data, and the game code do not use AI
at runtime.
Localization into some supported languages was created with a mix of Community members and machine generation and reviewed by the developer.
The developer is actively seeking to replace any machine-generated localization over time.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation and refinement of some visual assets, including illustrations, user interface elements, and marketing materials.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create the artwork and audio used throughout the game. The generated assets were reviewed, selected, edited as needed, and incorporated into the final game by the developer.

Generative AI tools have been used as support in the development of this game. They were primarily used for programming, translations, and some background and art elements. All content has been manually reviewed and approved before being included in the game.
Some of the artwork in ChessTan was created with the help of generative AI tools. This includes in-game graphics (unit and board art) and the store page / marketing images. All AI-generated art was reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before use. No AI-generated content is produced live during gameplay. Music is licensed royalty-free stock (not AI-generated), and AI coding assistants were used only for development, not to generate player-facing content
Generative AI tools were used during development to create selected pre-generated content, including character and environment artwork, some user interface artwork, music, some voice-over audio, and localization. The visual assets were subsequently edited and customized by the developer. All AI-assisted content is selected, reviewed, and integrated by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.
Pre-generated key art, store and marketing artwork, and two music loops were created with generative AI tools, then selected, edited, and reviewed by the developer. Gameplay rules, code, interface text, and player actions are authored and deterministic. No content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Generative AI tools were utilized to generate initial texture concepts. All final in-game assets were extensively modified, hand-edited, and integrated manually.
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.
We used Kimi 3 to generate the code, vector game assets, skeletal animations and code-synthesized sound effects for this game. Music was generated via Suno, while the game design documents, gameplay mechanics and numerical balancing are strictly controlled by human designers.
The developer describes how their game uses Generative AI in the development process:
- Pre-generated Content: Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating concept art, text drafts, and localization text. All AI-assisted assets were subsequently reviewed, edited, and refined by the developer.
- The game does not contain any live-generated AI content during gameplay.
As a solo developer I find use of AI to be one of my most prominent and efficient tools ever used.
I'm heavily relying on Gemini, Claude and QWEN to create my code snippets and review them. I also manually review their work from time to time.
Visual assets creation also rely on AI(NanoBanana2). Some of the assets are my sketches that has been polished to perfection by AI. Some are AI generated and hand-edited after and some, I'll be totally honest here, are fully AI generated, via meticulous prompt engineering and trial and errors.
I'm heavily opposed to using AI to create slop or mass produce clones of existing content. But I'm a firm believer that, when curated by talented individual with solid vision, it can achieve great results.
