Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Hearthfield's world is built in code and from CC0 model packs, and everything you
see in play is made by hand. Our Steam store art, the capsules, the icons and the
logo, was created with the help of AI image tools and then finished by us. We also
use an AI coding assistant while building the game, and AI help when drafting store
text. Our screenshots are always genuine captures from the real game. Nothing in
Hearthfield is generated by AI while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create and refine some pre-generated 2D artwork used in the game and its marketing, including environmental backgrounds, character and item art, fossil and museum visuals, capsule and library artwork, and achievement imagery. All AI-assisted assets were selected, edited, and integrated by the developer before shipping. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to a live AI service.
As a solo developer working with a limited budget, I used generative AI tools to help bring my vision to life and add more variety to the game. Specifically, AI generated 10-20 graphical assets and assisted in creating about half of the game's music tracks. The vast majority of the game (over 95%) - including all core design, programming, and mechanics was created entirely by hand.
Sia's art and sound - her sprites, the outfits, the tarot cards, the item and monster icons, the sound effects - were produced with the help of generative AI tools and then edited and assembled by hand. The store images were made the same way. The game's text was written in Korean by hand; the seven other language translations were AI-assisted and reviewed by a human.
Nothing is generated while you play. The game ships as fixed image, sound and text files and never contacts an AI service.
The game's music was generated using an AI tool (Suno), then selected and mixed by me. Everything else — 3D models, textures, animations, sound effects, text and code is handmade. My goal is to replace it with original compositions from a human artist as soon as sales allow.
Portions of this game's content were created with generative AI assistance under human direction and review: in-game text (social feed posts, event copy), localization into 8 languages, and marketing materials including the trailer. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developer. The game does not generate AI content at runtime.
Some visual assets, including certain item artwork, icons, and promotional images, were created or assisted using generative AI. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by the development team before being included in the game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, translation/localization, and the creation of most of the game's artwork and music. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services.
During the development process, certain 2D art assets, textures, and UI elements were generated or enhanced using generative AI tools to accelerate production. All final assets have been manually reviewed, edited, and verified by our team to ensure quality and compliance.
This game uses AI-generated content. The character artwork was pre-generated locally with an image model (Animagine XL 3.1) and manually curated by the developer. During gameplay, the mascot's chat replies (text only) are generated in real time by a bundled local language model (Google Gemma 3 via the Ollama runtime) running entirely on your PC. No internet connection is used and no conversation data leaves your device.
We are a small two-person studio. We apologize for using generative AI to assist with the translation and for any inaccuracies that may be present. We used it to make the game available in this language.
AI was used for some translations and visual assets. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay, and AI was not used to write the game's code.
Some of the background music in Aquora was produced using a generative audio tool. Those tracks are placeholder. They are being replaced with commissioned
original music, and any remaining generated audio will be phased out of the game over time.
All visual art in Aquora is procedurally generated by the developer's own custom tooling, drawn from hand-authored colour palettes, explicit shape instructions
and seeded random number generation. No image generation model is involved at any point in the art pipeline, and no AI generated images appear in the game.
I received assistance from text-generative AI (LLM) for the English translation (localization) of all in-game text (dialogues, UI, system messages) and for writing the English description on the Steam store page.
Kerf - Sawmill Tycoon was made almost entirely with AI tools. The developer directed the work, chose what went into the game and approved every result, but did not model, rig or write code by hand. What that means for the content that ships in the game:
- Code: written by an AI coding assistant.
- Characters: generated by an AI 3D tool from AI-generated reference images, then rigged and set up in the game by the AI assistant.
- Other 3D models: some came from an AI 3D tool - a vehicle and environment props such as rocks, mountains and bushes. The rest, including the valley, the buildings, the machines and the trees, were built in 3D software by the AI assistant writing scripts.
- Animation: all character animation was generated with an AI motion tool.
- Music: all of the in-game music was generated with an AI music tool.
- Sound: some sound effects were generated with an AI sound tool; the rest were sourced from sound libraries by the developer.
- Text: the in-game text was written with AI assistance, and the translations from English and Polish into the other 13 supported languages were made with AI.
Everything was reviewed and approved by the developer before release.
No content is generated by AI while the game is running. The Twitch integration only displays messages typed by real viewers.
Business And Life Simulator, uses generative AI-assisted artwork in some packaging visuals for in-game products/items. Generative AI is not used in any other part of the game, and we are working to remove these AI-assisted visuals before the full release.
Some visual assets were created with the help of generative AI and then hand-finished: the store capsule/key art and a short promotional video are AI-assisted, and a small set of in-game background and decoration art (tile textures, decals) started from AI-generated images that were manually edited and integrated. All game code, game design, writing and gameplay systems are human-made. Screenshots on this page show real gameplay. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.
Generative AI tools were used as development assistants for portions of game code, UI text, localization, and the preparation of some store-page copy and marketing layouts. All results were reviewed and edited by the developer. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
Some artwork used in Salty was created with the assistance of generative AI tools, including store page capsule art, marketing images, and certain in-game visual assets. All game design, code, systems, and gameplay are authored by the developer. No AI content is generated during gameplay.
Some 2D character portraits, sprites, item and environment artwork, and store promotional images were created from drafts produced with generative AI tools. All assets were reviewed, curated, edited, and post-processed by the developer before being included. The game does not use AI to generate content in real time during gameplay.
Generative AI was used to assist in creating selected promotional capsule and library artwork for this Steam store page. These assets were reviewed and selected by the developer. No generative AI features are used during gameplay, and no content is generated at runtime.
Live-generated: Pixie's chat feature generates the pet's replies with a language model that ships inside the product and runs entirely on the player's own computer. There is no third-party AI service, no API key and no account of any kind; the feature makes no network requests at all and works with the machine fully offline. The model is Gemma 4 E2B, licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and redistributed with the notices required by that license.
Pre-generated: written text in the product and on this store page — including the interface strings and their translations into the supported languages — was produced with the help of an AI writing assistant.
All art, animation and characters are hand-made: every sprite is drawn at runtime by a parametric pixel renderer written for this project, with no generative AI involved at any stage.
Camera and microphone input are processed entirely on-device (MediaPipe) and are never sent to any server.
This game uses AI-generated artwork for static marketplace listing images including cars, homes, investment properties, boats, and businesses shown in the Assets and Business panels, as well as for Steam achievement icons. All AI-generated content is created during development and shipped as fixed image files. The game does not generate any content live during gameplay and does not connect to any AI service while you play.
AI was used for some translations, music, and visual assets. The game does not create AI-generated content during gameplay, and AI was not used to write the game’s code.
The Tally was made by a solo developer working closely with an AI assistant. The game's code and written content were created with the help of AI under the developer's direction and review. All 3D models and music are the work of human artists, credited in-game. Textures are produced by procedural scripts, not image-generation models. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Lo-Fi with Ruka includes optional live generative AI features. Players may provide their own DeepSeek and StepFun API keys to generate short companion chat replies, personalized study-story chapters, and synthesized voice. These features are disabled without player-provided keys. Prompts, the current focus goal or status, and limited recent non-sensitive study context are sent only to the selected providers. API keys and generated content remain local and are not uploaded to Steam Cloud.
This game uses pre-generated AI-assisted content. The base concepts, 3D geometry, textures, and some source animation data for the male and female player characters were created with Tencent Hunyuan 3D Studio. The development team subsequently performed extensive manual editing and integration, including topology and rigging adjustments, animation processing, hand replacement, material work, and technical review. No content is generated by AI during
Quillzyra: Character Studio uses generative AI locally on the user's computer to create and interact with fictional characters. The application may generate character dialogue, personality text, memory summaries, character descriptions, and optional 2D character portraits based on user input.
The AI features are intended for fictional character creation, simulation, and conversation. The application does not rely on an external AI service during gameplay.
We used AI tools during development to assist with portions of the game's code and some textures/images. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and finalized by the development team before being included in the game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.
AI tools were used only during the concept development stages. All final content was reviewed and edited by the development team. All artwork used on the Steam store page was created by freelance 2D artists.
