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

hey guys. i used ai to code efficently. no ai generated art inside. have fun!

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.

Generative magic was used in the creation of the quest.

The images and music are 100% AI generated but the story is 100% human generated.

This game uses generative AI tools during development for some pre-rendered assets, including store capsules and key art, character sprites, backgrounds, CGs, and certain audio. AI-assisted assets are selected and edited before inclusion. Story and game systems are human-authored.

Some of this game's assets were made with the help of generative AI tools and then edited by hand: the in-game notebook UI sprites, a few background props and set-dressing models, some texture work, and the English localization, which was drafted from our Korean original and reviewed by us. The original Korean writing, the characters, the level design, and all gameplay systems were made without generative AI. Nothing is generated while you play.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with the localization of this game into English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. 本作は、英語、簡体字中国語、繁体字中国語、韓国語へのローカライズの補助として生成AIツールを使用しました。

Some assets in this game were generated with the assistance of AI, then manually edited, optimized, and reviewed by our team.

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.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating some pre-generated 2D visual assets, including character imagery and certain promotional and store page artwork. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated, reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer before being included in the game or its marketing materials. The game does not use live generative AI and no content is generated by AI during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with certain pre-generated visual elements and sequences in the game. All such materials were reviewed, selected, edited, and integrated into the final video content by the Dev team. The game’s narrative, interactive structure, gameplay logic, and final presentation are created and controlled by the Dev team. No generative AI is used during gameplay, and no content is generated dynamically for players.

AI-assisted translation tools are used to help localize this game's text for international audiences, including English and any additional languages added in the future. No AI-generated content is used for graphics, sound, or narrative/story content.

The localization of this game was created using AI translation tools.

Generative AI was used in the development of this game. The background art and character illustrations were created with an image generation model; all images were selected, edited, and processed by the developer. The story text and game logic were drafted and implemented with a large language model, with the developer directing the story and scene design, reviewing and approving all content, and requesting revisions. No generative AI runs at runtime during gameplay.

Parts of the written text on this store page were drafted with the help of an AI assistant and then reviewed and edited by us before publishing. No generative AI is used inside the game itself. The artwork, audio and video in Dubbed are made by us or performed by the players, and nothing is generated at runtime.

We use AI tools to support our development process

Ward 9 uses developer-curated generative AI tools during production for selected marketing/community artwork, narrative drafting support, and voice/audio asset creation. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer before inclusion. The game does not use live generative AI to create player-facing content during gameplay.

Artificial intelligence was used to assist with interface localization and adaptation of in-game textures. There was a time when people used Google Translate, and terrible localization for many languages was common. Times have changed, progress does not stand still. Today, new and more advanced tools have emerged, and people now use them instead of outdated ones.

AI tools were used as part of the game's visual production and post-production workflow. The game's 3D assets, environments, characters, animations, and scenes are created and rendered by the developer. AI is primarily used to upscale lower-resolution renders to higher resolutions, helping reduce rendering time while maintaining the desired visual quality. In some cinematic sequences, AI-assisted tools are also used as part of the production process. Additionally, AI may be used for certain visual corrections, modifications, or minor fixes to rendered images instead of re-rendering an entire scene. AI is therefore used as a supporting tool in the development and post-production process, while the overall artistic direction, 3D production, scene creation, rendering, and final implementation are handled by the developer.

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。

As a solo developer, I made use of AI for generation of models and music to act as base components. These typically went through much manual editing afterwards. Some AI was used for testing & improvements to code in some areas

Some of the visual assets in Champions of Thaloria were created with the help of generative AI tools during development. This includes parts of the store page artwork and trailer, along with a portion of the in-game 2D art such as item icons, avatar frames and class emblems. Every AI-assisted asset was selected, edited and assembled by hand before it went into the game, and all of it was reviewed by the developer. The game does not generate anything while you play. No content is created at runtime and no AI service is contacted during gameplay — everything ships with the game.

Generative AI was used to create two logo graphics used in the game's branding, user interface, and marketing materials.

Most of the video materials, audio materials and some music for this game are generated by AI software.

Since we developed the game with two people and didn't have a budget, we created some models using artificial intelligence.

Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game assets

AI-generated artifacts

AI tool assisted in translating the store page into 15 different languages. We do NOT use AI-generated art, and we never intentionally include AI assets in our game. We sometimes buy assets and use stock photos. We do our best to verify them, but nowadays, distinguishing AI from human-made art can be hard. That said, if there is any specific artwork that you believe looks like AI or raises concerns, we would appreciate it if you could point it out on our Discord server. We will investigate and replace anything that might have slipped through. AI-generated art is NOT something we want to include in our game.
