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

AI‑generated music is used in this game, and some artwork was created with reference to AI‑generated images.

Generative AI was used during development to generate suspect mugshot photos, dossier case texts, and to assist with language localization. All generated assets are static and pre-packaged into the game.

Some visual assets in Grandpa's Legacy (including expedition artwork and selected store/marketing images) were created or assisted with generative AI tools, then curated and edited by the development team. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services while you play.

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.

Generative AI was used to create some of the illustrations featured on collectible cards. The card layouts and designs were manually created and edited.

AI was used for localization and translation.

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

the production of some code, icons and audio are assisted by by AI

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.

Generative AI was used in the creation of some artwork and music. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.

Generative AI has been used solely as a supporting tool to create some of the icons used for the character's abilities and upgrades, as well as to assist with translating the game's text into other languages.

Some graphics, music, and translations were initially generated by AI and subsequently revised by humans.

AI tools were used to generate in-game text.

Game icon and Steam capsules were made with ai support

Some placeholder assets in the current build (terrain textures and sound effects) were AI-generated and are being replaced with human-made and procedural versions. All models, writing, characters, and design are human-made.

As a small independent developer, obviously AI tools was used to assist in the development of this game, including working on graphical elements as well as writing code.

Some of the art in this game — the chef characters, the customer characters, the lane skins, and some of the plates — was created with the help of AI image generation tools. The sushi artwork does not use AI.

This game was developed with the help of generative AI. - Generative AI was used to write and translate text (slime descriptions, in-game wording, and the English localisation). All of it was reviewed and edited by a human. - Generative AI was also used to write program code. - The slime pixel art is not image-generated. It is drawn by a rendering program written for this game. - No AI runs while the game is playing. The game makes no network connections and calls no AI models.

AI was used on a limited basis to assist with the refinement of certain visual designs. All VHS artwork and other licensed imagery is based on artwork created by human artists, and we hold the appropriate licenses for all third-party images used.

The 3D environment and props are human made, but the images on the cover, and code were made with the help of AI.

Pre-Generated Content This demo includes pre-generated AI content: - The background images used in the Store, Breeding, and Inventory screens. - The shared background image used in the Collection and Tutorial screens. - Wooden aquarium decorations. - Snail aquarium decorations. - Background music tracks generated with Suno AI. The developer holds a license for their use. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay. Players cannot enter prompts or interact with AI systems.

We used generative AI tools to assist in creating some assets, including but not limited to upscaling.

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

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.

Generative AI tools were used during the development of this game and in the creation of some of its visual, audio, and technical content. AI was used to create and refine the background, logo, and related visual elements. AI-assisted tools were used to create and prepare some of the sound effects. AI-powered coding tools were used for code generation, autocomplete, and development assistance. AI-generated designs were selected, edited, and enhanced for use in some of the game's visual content. Some visuals were selected from AI-generated designs and subsequently enhanced and upscaled. All AI-generated or AI-assisted content was reviewed, selected, edited, and adapted by the developer before being used in the game.

AI-assisted artwork

All AI involvement is pre-generated and human-reviewed: nothing is generated while you play, the game runs no AI models, and it never sends your data anywhere.

We integrate artificial intelligence solely as a creative assistance tool during pre-production and artistic exploration phases. Specifically, we use image generators to produce preliminary concept art, explore different visual directions, and accelerate iteration on our graphic ideas. AI serves only as a source of inspiration, while the entire final content is fully created, curated, and refined by our human team. Generated images are never used as-is in the final product. Every visual element in the game (textures, characters, environments, illustrations, etc.) is recreated, retouched, painted, recomposed, or manually validated by our artists to ensure: originality of the content, respect for copyright, artistic consistency, and compliance with Steam/Valve guidelines. AI does not contribute to the generation of final assets, 3D models, animations, sounds, or any other elements directly integrated into the game. Its role is strictly limited to providing visual references, aesthetic guidance, and starting points to help our team work more efficiently. This approach allows us to maintain a strong and authentic artistic identity while benefiting from a more fluid, inspiring, and innovative creation process — directly reflected in the quality, coherence, and originality of our game.

We use AI tools to assist with some parts of development, such as localization and improving our art production workflow. All designs and creative ideas come from our team, and AI-assisted assets are reviewed and refined before being used in the game.

Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating select 2D artwork for this game illustrations for collectible cards, artwork for the card battle/arena scene, and the game's logo and store capsule art. All AI-assisted artwork was selected, edited, and finalized by the development team before inclusion. Generative AI was not used to create the 3D open-world environment, or other gameplay systems/mechanics. This is for the demo build, and some or all AI-assisted art may be replaced with original human-made artwork in the full release.

Generative AI was used during development to create portions of the game’s 2D artwork and a small number of 3D models. All AI-generated material was reviewed, manually edited, cleaned up, and polished by the developer before being included in the final game. Generative AI is not used to create content while the game is running.

The key art and Steam store banners were partially generated using AI. We will replace them soon with 100% handcrafted key art.

In game soundtracks were generated in Suno. AI assisted with drafting assests in Blender.

All voices are Ai generated along with the soundtracks. They are however created under strict instructions and hours of testing to get them right. Ai assisted in creating models/props.

Some sound effects in this game were created with the help of generative AI tools, and edited by hand afterwards. All other assets — art, models, animation and design — were made or licensed by the developer without generative AI.

the code/image of game are mostly implemented by AI.

AI was used to speed up the development process

Our visual development workflow uses generative AI to create parts of graphical elements and textures. Every AI-assisted visual asset is reviewed, edited and polished by our team to maintain a consistent visual standard across the game.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with concept exploration and some fixed, pre-generated visual assets. All outputs were reviewed, edited, curated, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content at runtime, and players cannot prompt or create AI-generated content.

Part of the game's art illustrations and promotional materials are assisted by generative AI. All AI-generated assets have been manually reviewed, edited and verified for compliance, with no infringing or illegal content.
