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

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.

Artificial intelligence was used to create the game's cover.

AI is used only as a supportive tool to upscale and refine specific background and environment art derived from our own 3D assets.

We use generative AI to translate in-game text into multiple languages. Generative AI is not used to generate content in real time.

部分游戏内背景图使用AI辅助生成，剧情与角色设计均为原创。

AI was used in development of the game

Hi! I’m a solo indie developer working on this game during my free time outside of daily life. To bring this project to life with limited time and resources, I used AI tools to assist parts of the development process, such as brainstorming, early prototypes, draft writing, and iteration support. However, the core game design, gameplay systems, story structure, balancing, and final implementation were all personally planned, edited, and integrated by me. AI is a tool that helps me turn ideas into something playable—it does not replace the creative decisions behind this game. I know people may have different opinions about AI, so I want to be transparent about it. Thank you for playing and supporting my work. I hope you enjoy exploring this broken, virus-corrupted world.

This product uses generative AI extensively during development. Pre-generated AI-assisted content includes images, story text, code, music, and other game materials. All such content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before inclusion in the game and store materials. No live-generated AI content is used during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while running.

Selected visual assets and music tracks were created using generative AI tools as part of the production process. All AI-generated material was reviewed, curated, and integrated by the developer to ensure consistency with the game’s creative direction. No AI-generated content is produced during gameplay.

The background art, character art, and music in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. The story and narrative text were written by humans.

A small amount of public domain and commissioned art assets may have used genAI before passing to a human for modification/inclusion.

Using AI to Generate Some Materials

Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of some 2D visual assets and artwork (including character illustrations and background art). All generated assets have been reviewed and refined to fit the game's pixel art style and quality standards.

The images in this game and the promotional images on the store page are generated using AI.

AI is used to enhance and upscale some images.

本游戏在开发过程中使用了生成式人工智能辅助创作部分剧情图片、过场画面及宣传素材。所有相关内容均经过开发团队审核和编辑后用于游戏。游戏运行过程中不会实时生成任何 AI 内容。

During development, AI was used to refine some fixed ASCII pixel-art data and portions of the code-defined sound data embedded in the game's C# source. Deterministic rendering and synthesis functions convert this fixed data into sprites and audio at runtime. Some Steam store images use renders of the same sprites. No generative AI is used while the game is running. The game does not contact an AI service, generate AI content during play, or send player input to an AI service.

every part of the game is worked on by both AI and humans

This game uses live generative AI to create text-based character dialogue, diaries, journey events, NPC conversations, and outcomes of player-directed interactions. Responses are generated from player-created character profiles, recent in-game memories, current objectives, and player messages. Relevant text context is sent to a third-party AI service to generate these responses. Generated content may vary between sessions and may occasionally produce unexpected results. AI is not used to generate executable code or modify files on the player's device.

In the interest of transparency, illustrations were created with the help of AI-assisted tools, used as creative support within a human-led artistic process.

This game was developed with AI assistance for localization, in-game text (tutorial, lore, item descriptions, UI), monster/enemy artwork, and store page artwork (including the game's capsule image).

Some game illustrations are generated using AI and have been manually refined.

RLG:Origins uses a locally operated generative AI model during play to interpret free-form player input and generate GM narration and character dialogue. AI-generated text does not establish game facts or decide outcomes. A separate deterministic rules system validates actions and controls game-state changes. Generation takes place on the player's device, and player input is not sent to an external AI service.

Some of the music in this game was created using generative AI tools. All other content — art, animation, writing and design — is made without generative AI.

AI is used only for translation and sound effects.

This game adopts generative AI technology to provide players with real-time interactive text dialogue with in-game NPCs. We have set strict content filtering rules to prevent the generation of inappropriate, illegal, pornographic or violent content. Players can report improper AI outputs through Steam's built-in marking tool.

In this game, generative AI is used for the following purposes: ・Selecting options based on voice commands input by the user ・Generating portions of the display text ・Generating portions of the narration script ・The narration audio is created using a speech synthesis engine; generative AI is not used.

Some code elements and visual assets in Curse of the Ancient Grimoire were created or refined with the assistance of generative AI tools, including character portraits, monster images, scene illustrations, and store capsule artwork. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. Generative AI is not used during gameplay to create dynamic content, dialogue, player-facing text, decisions, or game mechanics. Generative AI is not used during gameplay to create dynamic content, dialogue, player-facing text, decisions, or game mechanics.

This title uses generative artificial intelligence in software development, the creation of art assets, and foreign-language localization. Given the constraints of our production schedule, the size of our team, and the professional responsibilities of our members outside this project, we chose to incorporate generative AI into certain parts of development in pursuit of a more complete and polished game. However, our team firmly believes that generative AI should help creators produce better work. It should never become an excuse for cutting corners, disregarding the creative process, or replacing skilled professionals. While working to deliver the most complete experience possible, these technologies enabled our engineers to explore directions that had previously been difficult to pursue because of limited time and manpower. These efforts include machine-learning-based image segmentation and depth mapping using motion-aware techniques, as well as redesigning low-level director systems and asset-management systems for art and text beyond the assistance provided by conventional game-engine tooling. We also recognize that the experience and judgment of professional creators cannot be replicated. Throughout the production of our artistic assets, the team has actively sought guidance from artists, engineers, and experienced professionals in relevant fields, and has continuously reviewed the final content in accordance with their professional advice. All generated output is subject to human review, selection, and adjustment. No generated material is included in the game without first being inspected. With regard to our art assets, we take copyright and creators’ rights in connection with generative AI very seriously. We believe that artists’ creative work and aesthetic expertise deserve stronger copyright protection. We have never trained models on others’ work without authorization, nor have we used LoRA models of unknown or unverifiable origin. We will not use an artist’s name, work, or distinctive style to train models or create imitations without permission, and we will never claim another creator’s work as our own. We understand that players may hold different views regarding generative AI, and we are committed to being transparent about how and where it has been used in this title, as well as the principles that guide our use of it. We will continue striving to ensure that both our own technology and generative AI serve as tools for creating a more complete work—not as excuses for avoiding creative responsibility, undermining the trust between creators and consumers, or producing inexpensive imitations. Finally, we sincerely thank you for your understanding and for holding us accountable.

Our Policy on AI & Procedural Generation Valenfeld is built by one person, on a shoestring budget, with an Elder Scrolls–sized ambition. Here is exactly how, and why, AI fits into that. Why we use it Valenfeld is a solo indie project chasing a scope that normally takes a studio of dozens: a massive, hand-lorekept world you can wander for years without hitting an edge. That scope is not achievable by one person typing every tree, every ruin, and every line of dialogue by hand on a shoestring budget and an ambitious timeline. So we lean on AI-enabled workflows and, more importantly, cutting-edge procedural algorithms to scale content production and world scale to match the ambition — not to replace it. What always stays human Every piece of content in the game — every place, character, creature, item, quest, and line of lore — is built and overseen by a human creator and judge, grounded in our own ideas, our own lore, and our own systems design. AI does not decide what Valenfeld is. It never originates the world's canon, its themes, or its design intent on its own; it accelerates producing what we've already decided the world should be, and everything it touches is reviewed before it ships. Not AI slop — procedural generation is the point We're not interested in dumping raw model output into the game and calling it done. Our actual goal is an experimental, large-scale world built on cutting-edge procedural algorithms — terrain, dungeons, towns, ecosystems, even history — designed to be massively replayable for years, not a one-and-done AI slideshow. AI-assisted tooling is one part of the production pipeline that gets us there faster on a small budget; the procedural systems and the authored lore they run on are the actual craft, and that's where our attention to detail goes. Our bet We believe that if we focus relentlessly on delivering the best game possible — with a genuinely obsessive eye for detail on everything we ship — we can produce something great on a low budget and a small team of one. That is the bar we hold ourselves to, not "shipped fast" or "shipped cheap." As we grow This is how we build today, as a solo project with an ambitious scope and timeline. If and when Valenfeld earns a bigger budget for this game or for future releases, we intend to keep building just as ambitiously — with a team of art, lore, and gameplay experts working alongside these same tools, not replaced by them. Thinking about the best possible game comes first; everything else, including how we scale to build it, follows from that. — Metatransformer Studios
