AI Transparency Index: Every AI Disclosure on Steam, Tracked and Searchable

Initial concept art was generated using AI tools, followed by manual adjustments and modifications by artists.

Beneath Solmere includes pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI tools. This includes six music tracks created with Google Gemini/Lyria, AI-assisted localization for nine non-English languages, and AI-generated artwork used in Steam Store marketing materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.

Generative AI was used to assist with writing portions of the game’s code and store page.

Generative AI tools were used to create voice-over content for the game. The generated voice content was reviewed and edited by the development team before being implemented in the game.

Generative AI is used to assist with the translation and localization of in-game text and Steam store page content from the original Japanese into other supported languages.

AI tools were used during development to assist with asset creation, texture generation, and development workflows. All AI-generated content was reviewed, modified, and curated by the development team.

"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."

I am a solo developer balancing this project with another job. To make this game a reality, I have used generative AI tools as an assistant during development, as well as to generate various pre-rendered assets: 2D visual elements (such as item icons, textures, and interface art) and the composition of the orchestral soundtrack.

AI was used solely for localization purposes.

Some of this game's promotional and background artwork was made with generative AI tools and then edited by the developer: the store capsule/key art images, the painted title-screen background, and the cinematic clips used in the intro trailer. All gameplay, code, game design, in-game visuals (the emoji fighters, gloves, effects and UI), sound effects and music were created without generative AI. No AI content is generated during gameplay and the game does not connect to any AI service.

Graphics (sprites, logo, artwork) were generated with Google Gemini API models, then curated, edited, and integrated by the developer. Music and sound effects were generated locally with ACE-Step 1.5, directed, curated, and post-processed by the developer. No AI runs during gameplay.

The game uses ai-generated actor models and sounds.

We used Claude (Anthropic) during development for the following: - Writing the store page description - Assisting with the translation of in-game text - Generating some simple in-game objects

Some assets were fine tuned with the help of AI.

AI has been used to help with coding, asset generation and voice generation.

SIDE OUT was built with AI-assisted development tools. No artwork, audio, text or other content in the game is generated by AI. All visuals are drawn procedurally in code, and all store text is written by hand.

Generative AI was used to assist in creating select art assets, which were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. All gameplay, programming, and overall design were created by the development team.

Artwork used on the Steam store page was created with the assistance of generative AI and was subsequently manually edited, refined, and improved. AI tools were also used to assist with the localization of the Steam store page.

Generative AI was used to assist in creating a small number of icons.

The game's voiceover and logo were created using AI.

This game includes content created with the help of AI during development. Images (34): backgrounds, the logo and in-game objects were created using OpenAI's image generation (gpt-image), then edited by the developer. 34 of the 66 sprites in the shipping build originate this way. UI elements and one texture (13) and sound effects (21): these were designed by AI (Claude) and implemented as the developer's own program code. They are not the output of an image or audio generation model; the shapes and waveforms are produced by deterministic processing. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime. Music is licensed from a purchased royalty-free library and involves no AI. Stage design is the developer's own work.

This game uses generative AI as a production tool. Character, enemy, boss, UI, and background art were created with image-generation models and then assembled, keyed, and edited by the team. Background music and in-game voice and narration (including Classical Latin lines in Purgatory) were also generated with AI and curated for the game. Gameplay, design, writing, and programming are human-authored. The game does not generate new text, images, or audio while you play. Some store and marketing images were produced with the same tools.

Used AI on preexisting artwork made by myself (ICONS) to speed up DEV by replacing frames faster than manual edit each button

We are team of two with a design and development background. We have a combined decades experience shipping production-quality code and art. We use AI along with our other tools, like Blender, Substance, etc. to help us build our vision. We use AI in the early stage of concept development and prototyping, coding assistance, but everything that makes it in-game is hand-crafted and authored by us. The music is played by hand real instruments. All screen captures are 100% in-game with no alterations.

Este jogo foi desenvolvido por um único criador com o auxílio de Inteligência Artificial (IA) no processo de programação e na criação de alguns efeitos sonoros e áudios. Todas as artes, imagens, sprites e frames dentro do jogo foram criados inteiramente à mão, sem qualquer uso de IA.

We used AI tools in two places during development, and in neither of them to replace creative work. Our French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean localisations are made using AI. We also used AI assistance while writing and restructuring parts of our codebase. Everything players see and hear — art, animation, sound, music, game design and all original writing — was made by people.

There is usage of generative AI in two places and everything it produced has been reviewed. The soundtrack was created with the assistance of AI, and some of the writing was drafted with an AI assistant and then edited afterwards: card, UI and help text, the Simplified Chinese translation, and the store page and marketing copy. Nothing else is model output — the logo, the app icon and every visual in the game are drawn by the game's own code from geometry in the source, and the sound effects are synthesized as you play.

All programming and game music (BGM) are generated by AI.

AI was utilized for sound design.

AI-enabled tools were used during development to assist with asset creation. Some visual and audio assets in the finished game incorporate AI-assisted or AI-generated source material. For more information, visit https://jetgrave.com/ai-use/

Generative AI is used in this game for tasks such as music generation. As an indie game and a small software development studio, we simply do not have the budget to license a large number of well-known and popular songs. Unfortunately, nothing comes for free – so AI is used as an alternative. AI is also used for tasks such as integrating graphics, music and beat analysis, and translating content. AI can complete time-consuming tasks within minutes that would otherwise take a human several hours. No jobs are being replaced or put at risk through the use of AI in this project. This “crazy game” was still made with lots of love by humans. An AI probably would not have come up with a game idea like this anyway. And because it fits the topic far too well: purely on principle, this disclosure text was of course also written with the help of AI.

Some game art was created with the assistance of generative AI. Examples of where generative AI was used would be as follows, Creature art, Logo, Music, Game systems.

### Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence During the development of this game, I used generative artificial intelligence tools to assist me with various aspects of its creation. AI was mainly used to create and/or improve certain visual elements of the game, including images and PNG files used in different graphical elements. It also assisted me in creating the game’s trailer, as well as with certain scripts and technical elements that were particularly complex to implement. In these situations, AI was used as an assistance tool to help me develop, adapt, and finalize certain elements. The use of artificial intelligence does not mean that the game was entirely created by AI. The game’s design, artistic direction, gameplay, development, and final integration of the different elements were carried out and supervised by me. I want to be transparent with players regarding the use of these technologies in the creation of the game.

Generative AI was used to assist with selected store artwork and localization. All generated content was reviewed and integrated by the developer.

AI was used to analyze and help with debugging of networking code, helped in improving artwork and voice lines.

Voiceovers, some in-game texts and visual assets are AI-generated. AI was also used to create store and marketing assets.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the localization of some in-game text and the creation of certain visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.

Some store Images excluding game play screenshots in the store page for this game are AI generated.

Some of this game's content was created with the assistance of generative AI tools, always under human direction and review. Portions of the painted environment artwork and the store/marketing artwork began as AI-generated images that were then curated, edited, and integrated by hand. The music was generated with a licensed AI music tool, then curated and edited. Nothing is generated by AI while you play — everything you see and hear ships as fixed, human-reviewed content.

Generative AI was used to help write portions of this game's text content, and parts of this store page. All game code, visuals, music, and sound design were created directly by the developer without generative AI. AI was used to help debug and troubleshoot code.

Artificial Intelligence Usage Notice: We have used some generative models to prototype new ideas, and some of them have been made into production. However, AI-generated content is no more than 1% of the total game assets and arts.

Certain graphical assets, such as the game’s loading-screen images, were generated using AI.

Some sprites started as AI-generated references before being rebuilt in the game's palette and resolution. All English writing is my own; the other nine languages are machine translated. No AI runs in the game itself. Nothing is generated while you play, and it never connects to an AI service.

This game's music was created with the assistance of generative AI. The interface and Enemy Guide text were also translated into multiple languages with AI assistance, alongside human review. No AI-generated artwork or gameplay code ships in the final game.

Some audio and translations were made with the assistance of AI.

All 2D artwork in this game (characters, monsters, environments, icons) and the store/marketing images were pre-generated using AI image tools, then curated, edited, and integrated by the developer. Music was pre-generated with AI music tools; sound effects were pre-generated locally with an open-source AI audio model. Localization into some languages was produced with AI assistance and reviewed by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime — all AI-generated content is pre-rendered and ships as fixed assets.

We use generative AI for text only: writing this store page and translating the game's in-game text into the supported languages. Everything else, including all art, animation and audio, is made by hand, and no content is generated while you play.
