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

The AI coworkers in this game are voiced by a machine (TTS), and their dialogue was really written by AI together with self portraits, on purpose and under human review. The slop is diegetic. The code was written with AI agents and reviewed by the last human in that loop, the developer. That is also the plot. No AI runs at runtime. Everything was baked and reviewed before shipping.

AI tools were used for part of the art and music. Everything gets picked, cleaned up and put together by hand afterwards. There's no AI in the game itself: what you play is exactly what was built in mind.

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.

Some visual artwork used in the game and promotional materials was created with generative AI tools and then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI content is created during gameplay.

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.

Generative AI was used to assist with some Steam store artwork, marketing materials, and localization.

Generative artificial intelligence was used to assist with background materials

We used generative AI on fighter portraits for deeper immersion and as a pre-production tool for early concept layouts. From there, all character assets and visual elements were extensively edited and manually hand-painted by human artists to ensure high visual quality and artistic control.

Some of the artwork materials in this work are generated using AI

Generative AI was used for the Steam Capsule and App Icon.

Handcrafted assets are refined and upscaled with AI

Generative AI tools were utilized for auxiliary purposes in the production of some assets. These assets were modified and supplemented by professional art personnel and were finally applied to the game.

Generative AI was used during development to create the game’s pre-generated 2D visual assets, including card illustrations, backgrounds, UI decorative elements, and Steam marketing materials.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with some pre-generated visual assets, including selected pixel-art environments, characters, illustrations, icons, and promotional artwork. These assets are included with the game and are not generated live during gameplay. The game does not use a live AI service or send player data to an AI service. Shipped assets were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team.

Portions of the game's code were written with AI assistance and reviewed, tested and integrated by the developer. Localization into non-English languages was machine-assisted and human-reviewed. Some 2D concept/marketing artwork was AI-assisted and manually refined. All gameplay, game design and audio are human-made. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.

We used a Gen AI powered tool to localize the following: - (in some languages) In-game text - (in some languages) Steam store descriptions We plan to replace these with human translation and LQA when we can afford it. Until then, we are using Gen AI temporarily.

The store capsule artwork and some in-game assets were created using generative AI. All AI-generated content was reviewed by the developer

AI helped us create our new logo, and we used Claude Code to help us with... the code, bro. Otherwise, the game's hand-made! Our world is entering a troubling and hilarious time, and so critical reflection is important - but we are not categorically anti-AI. After all, you can't criticize something you don't understand, can you?

Pixel art assets, in-game text translation to other languages were produced with AI assistance during development and edited by the developer. No content is generated at runtime.

Investors and characters respond to the business idea you type, because a language model re-words our hand-written dialogue at runtime. It only changes wording — never numbers, outcomes, or anything in your save. If a generation fails, you get the hand-written line instead. Your product illustration is generated from your own idea text.

This game uses generative AI during development to assist with selected artwork, relic and character illustrations, and limited text drafts. All generated material was created offline during development, then manually reviewed, edited, integrated, and quality-checked before being included in the game. The game does not generate images, audio, text, code, or other content in real time, and it does not send player data or game content to external AI services during gameplay.

Some art assets were initially created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then manually edited and finalized by the developer. AI tools were also used to assist with multilingual localization.

AI tools were used to assist with translation and text polishing (localization) in this game.

AI is used to help with code and assets. The game is still mostly human built, especially all game mechanics.

About 10% of this game’s art assets were created with AI-assisted design, including some combat scenes and talent icons. All AI-generated content was reviewed, adjusted, and polished by artists. The remaining art assets were hand-crafted.

Generative AI tools were used during the development of this game to assist with programming, debugging, translation, and content creation. Some artwork, text, and other assets were also generated or processed with the assistance of generative AI, then reviewed and edited by the development team. The game does not use generative AI at runtime or generate content in response to player input. The development team remains responsible for all content included in the final game.
