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

"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.

In-game 3D props, audio sound effects, etc.

Select visual artwork used in Comic Shop Tycoon, including some in-game comic and product artwork as well as Steam promotional artwork, was created using generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is pre-generated and fixed. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services while running.

AI-generated content in this project is limited to the store page and marketing materials. The game build itself contains no AI-generated content. Store page text: The store description and Early Access questionnaire answers were drafted with the assistance of a large language model, then reviewed and edited by the developer. Not AI-generated: All in-game art, models, textures and animation. 3D assets are CC0-licensed (Kenney) or built by the developer in Blender; textures are CC0/licensed sets from Poly Haven, ambientCG and Poliigon. All screenshots and capsule images are real frames captured from the game's renderer, composited with the game's own title typography. No image generation model was used to produce any art in the game or on the store page.

A large number of AI‑generated assets are used in this game. However, every asset has undergone extensive manual adjustments.

AI tools were used to assist in creating the game logo, marketing artwork, and some 2D in-game assets such as item icons and illustrations. All AI-generated content is pre-generated (nothing is generated at runtime) and was manually reviewed and edited. All 3D models, gameplay, code, and game design are hand-crafted.

All art, music, and sound in TOWERPUNK are original to this project, produced by procedural code written specifically for the game. None of it is derived from generative media models. AI coding assistants were used during development to help write the game's source code and some functional interface text (menu labels, status readouts). All narrative and creative writing is authored by the developer.

Some art assets in the game and on the store page (story character portraits, some icons, backgrounds, and capsule images) were created with AI image generation tools, then manually curated and edited by the developer. All gameplay, code, and written story content is human-made. No AI content is generated at runtime.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of selected sprite artwork and to create some sound effects and background music. All AI-assisted content was generated before release, reviewed and curated by the developer, and edited or integrated into the final game as appropriate. RuneEra does not use AI to generate content while the game is running.

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.

AI was used to assist with writing the game source code. All visual assets are handmade pixel art by the author. All audio assets are licensed from 3rd party sample banks.

Artificial intelligence has been used for some parts of the art.

Explanation about the game development process: In the early concept design and creative ideation stage of this game, we did use AI technology as an auxiliary tool to help us explore and validate various artistic styles and creative directions more quickly. These AI-generated reference materials provided us with initial inspiration. However, the core creative concepts, story writing, character design, and all artistic assets presented in the final game were personally conceived and carefully crafted by our creative team. Each game element underwent repeated human optimization and fine-tuning to ensure the best gaming experience. AI was only used as an auxiliary tool, and the final game content presented is the result of human creation. We have always adhered to human creation as the main driver, committed to bringing players a unique and meticulously polished gaming experience.

Development of the game's code was assisted with AI, and some icons are AI generated.

The game's text (Korean and English) was written with the help of an AI assistant, based on the developer's research into traditional Korean architecture, and was fact-checked and reviewed by the developer before shipping. The English text follows a Korean–English glossary of traditional architecture terms prepared and approved by the developer. No other shipped content is AI-generated: all 3D models, buildings and characters are built procedurally in code, and the background music is licensed traditional Korean music (CC BY).

AI was used to assist with localised translations.

Pre-generated content only. This game does not run any AI at runtime. Visual art: 444 image files were created with generative AI during development — equipment sprites, ability icons, monster sheets, character portraits, building art, terrain and UI textures, the title screen and the game icon. The tool was ChatGPT (OpenAI), web interface, image generation, in sessions between 13 July and 1 August 2026. The author recalls the model as GPT-5.5, but the interface did not record the exact model version, so only the date range is documented. Text: the in-game text — tutorial, mission and event wording, item and interface strings — was drafted with generative AI assistance and then reviewed and edited by the author. Spanish is the original language. Translations: the English, German and Italian versions of the in-game text were produced from the Spanish original with generative AI. Not AI-generated: all remaining art comes from CC0, CC BY 3.0 and CC BY-SA 3.0 sources (Liberated Pixel Cup, 7Soul, Kenney), credited in full on the in-game credits screen. All music and sound effects are CC0 or CC BY. No AI-generated voice or music ships with the game.

We also generate some voicing for dialogs using licensed voices. We also generate some other sounds such as sound effects (wind, sea waves) All content text, images, voices or sounds are reviewed manually by a human to verify the content and licensing aspects.

The game's surface textures — the colour and relief maps applied to parts, buildings, terrain and visual effects — and its sound effects were created with generative AI tools during development. They are generated ahead of time, reviewed and integrated by hand, and ship with the game as ordinary image and audio files. Nothing is generated while you play, and the game never connects to an AI service. The simulation itself — orbital mechanics, aerodynamics, the production chains — is written by hand.

Aftergrowth's code was written with the help of an AI coding assistant, and some of the game's text — including parts of this store page — was first drafted with it and then edited by hand. Nothing you see or hear is AI-generated. Every sprite, tile and icon is drawn by deterministic Python scripts rather than by an image model. The music is synthesised and the sound effects are CC0 recordings by Kenney, both credited in the game's CREDITS file. No generative AI runs while you play: nothing is generated live, and the game makes no request to any AI service.
