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

AI-assisted tools were used to help create some splash screen visuals and store page promotional artwork. All assets were reviewed and finalized by the developer before being included in the game and store materials.

Development used generative AI tools to create pre-generated visual assets: seven battlefield and escalation backgrounds, twenty-six combat-art atlases, and one progression-card atlas (34 bitmap files total). AI tools also helped translate the store page and in-game text from the original, manually written English into eight languages. All generated content is pre-generated and curated; the game does not generate content while running. No third-party logos, characters, or source art were used as image-generation references.

Some code is aided by claude code

We used AI as a “support tool” in the creation of in-store visuals and certain in-game UI elements. We use AI solely as a support tool. We never leave the entire process to AI for any task.

No AI-generated images, models, or audio appear in the game or on this Steam page. Music is composed and arranged by me in BandLab. UI and VFX are handmade or generated procedurally with code, including the breaking waves shaped by hand. Otherwise, I code Shorebreaker with AI assistance: the design decisions are mine, and AI helps me work through, implement, and debug them. For self-marketing, some of my social media videos use AI voiceover from CapCut because I can't wake the baby.

Generative AI was used to assist in creating all pre-rendered artwork, including environment backgrounds, menu and branding art, icons, and promotional/title-card images.
