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.

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.

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

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.

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

Generative AI was used to assist with the creation of selected visual assets. All final images were reviewed and edited by the developer.

Generative AI was used during development to produce certain 2D art assets, including weapon, upgrade, and buff icons.

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.

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.

Some pre-rendered assets were created with generative AI tools and then curated, edited and integrated by hand: music tracks and their cover art, some sound effects and portions of 2d artwork (weapon, prop, and enemy sprites.) All generated content was reviewed by the developer before inclusion. No content is AI-generated at runtime.

Sprite assets were made with AI. What can I say? I'm not an artist and can't afford one (though would love to be able to!)

Pixel art assets (characters, monsters, bosses, projectiles, spirits, tiles) were created with PixelLab, an AI pixel-art tool, and then edited by hand to fit the game. No AI is used at runtime. All code, game design, sound effects and music are human-authored (audio is synthesized in code).

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 artwork and visual assets in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. All such content was reviewed, edited, and integrated into the game by the developer.

All art, sound and music in Iron Frame are human-made. The sprites and sound effects are CC0 assets by Kenney, the music is CC0 work by nene, and the store capsules are composed from those same sprites — nothing you see or hear was generated by AI. Generative AI was used as a writing assistant for some in-game text: weapon, frame and enemy names and their one-line descriptions, and this store page. Everything was reviewed and edited by the developer, and no content is generated while you play.

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.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming and in the creation of certain pre-generated game assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, edited when necessary, and manually integrated by the developer. No AI-generated content is produced in real time during gameplay.

The 2D art in this game — character and enemy sprites, weapon and UI icons, visual effects, tilesets, the title screen, and the store artwork — was produced with the help of generative AI image tools. Every asset was then processed by hand for the game: sliced, colour-keyed, scaled with nearest-neighbour, and assembled into sprite sheets by the developer. All audio is synthesised procedurally by the developer's own scripts — it is not AI generated. The game's code and design are written by the developer. Nothing is generated by AI while you play. All content ships with the game and never changes.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating various game assets, including visual assets, UI elements, and some audio content. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, and integrated by the developer as part of the game's overall creative direction. The game does not use generative AI to create content in real time during gameplay.

Contenu visuel pré-généré uniquement. Des outils d'IA générative ont servi à produire une partie des illustrations livrées avec le jeu (portraits de personnages, décors, illustrations de cartes, icônes de succès) ainsi que des ressources graphiques de la page du magasin. Toutes les images ont été sélectionnées, retouchées et validées manuellement par le développeur avant intégration. Aucune génération en temps réel pendant le jeu.

Text content only, all pre-generated during development and reviewed by the developer. AI assistance was used to write the in-game story text, the user interface translations for the 8 supported languages, the achievement names and descriptions, and the store page copy. Nothing is generated live at runtime and the game does not connect to any AI service. Art, sprites, capsule images, icons and the soundtrack are NOT AI-generated: they are produced by procedural scripts written by the developer and included in the project source.

We Use AI to code the game and for Language localization.

This game contains pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI, including selected visual assets, music, sound effects, and written content. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and curated by the developer before release. The game does not use generative AI to create content live while players are playing.

Generative AI tools were used during development to create some pre-generated visual assets, including certain ships, enemies, bosses, and visual effects. These assets were reviewed, selected, edited, and manually processed before being integrated into the game. HULLSTORM does not generate content using AI during gameplay.

Parts of this game's 2D art were created with the help of generative AI, and every generated asset was reviewed, edited and approved by us before it shipped. Specifically: • In-game UI icons (weapon and stat icons) start as AI-generated flat silhouettes, which we then clean up, recolour and integrate by hand. • Some marketing and store page imagery — background and atmospheric layers of our capsule art — is AI-generated. • Parts of the source code and some store page text were written with AI assistance and then reviewed, edited and tested by the developers. Everything else is made by hand, without generative AI: the logo, the app icon and mascot, all 3D models, materials, shaders and visual effects, level layouts. No generative AI runs while you play. The game does not create content or code at runtime, and it never connects to an external AI service.

Generative AI was used during development to assist in creating and refining some visual assets and development materials. All AI-assisted content included in the game and its marketing is reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before publication. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

This game is currentilty making use of 2 AI generate models among all other hand crafted models for the PLAYTEST alone and will be changed during DEMO and FULL RELEASE.

Some graphical assets and sounds.

Store page images are AI generated images

We use genAI to help with translations, coding, and help develop concept art not used in the final game.

This game uses generative AI to create part of its visual content. Specifically, AI tools were used as part of the graphics workflow to generate concept and source material for sprites and artwork, which were then manually reworked, adjusted, and integrated into the final game using Affinity Designer.

Generative AI was used for in-game text localization with human supervision.

AI-assisted coding was used in the development of Xenovector, including systems responsible for procedural environments, visual effects and dynamically assembled in-game scenery. AI-generated or AI-assisted artwork was also used for in-game backgrounds and graphical elements, in addition to promotional/store assets.

Some of the visuals on our store page and some of the 2D illustrations in our game were created with the help of AI-powered tools.
