Where do games disclose AI use?
Search developers’ Steam disclosures, compare classified AI use across
games, and follow recorded changes.
This index adds cross-game classifications and statistics to
statements published on individual store pages.
Groups reflect automatic analysis of public disclosures; mature records are excluded. These counts do not measure AI use across all of Steam.
Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Generative AI tools were used during development to help create pre-made content: officer portraits, map and interface artwork, music and sound effects, and drafts of in-game text and its translations. All of it was selected and edited by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play.
Generative AI tools were used during development to create pre-rendered visual assets, UI elements, and marketing materials. All generated assets were reviewed, finalized, and statically integrated into the game build prior to release. No content is generated in real-time or dynamically during gameplay.
Generative AI was used during the visual development of Sons of Infinite Dawn to create and refine selected 2D artwork, textures and other visual assets used in the game and its store presentation. The resulting assets are reviewed and adjusted before use. No AI content is generated during gameplay, and the game does not connect to external AI services.
IDE Code assistant used to optimize parts of the game's code and resolve bugs.
Certain assets in this game were created or modified with the assistance of genAI tools, then reviewed and integrated by our team.
The key art, story illustrations, kingdom portraits, music, opening film, menu video and its narration were produced with generative AI tools (Ideogram, Lyria, Seedance, Kling and ElevenLabs, through Artlist) and then selected, edited and assembled by the developer. The 3D map, units and buildings are procedural low-poly models built in code, and the sound effects are synthesised in the game. The game was written with the help of an AI coding assistant. No content is generated while the game is running; everything is pre-generated and shipped in the build. No real people's likenesses or voices are used.

This product contains pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. AI-assisted content includes selected 2D artwork, character portraits, unit illustrations, decorative interface imagery, trailer and store artwork, portions of the soundtrack, and some player-facing descriptive or localization text. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer and is fixed before release. The game does not generate text, images, audio, or any other content using generative AI while it is running. Computer-controlled opponents and procedural simulation systems use conventional game logic, not generative AI.

Some promotional artwork for this game (such as the store capsule image)
was created with the help of generative AI tools and then edited by hand.
All in-game content — 3D models, animations, sound effects, interface and
code — was created without generative AI. The game does not use AI during
gameplay and does not connect to any external AI service.
The soundtrack was produced with generative AI music tools and then edited, cut and mixed by the developer. Part of the game's text and this store page was written with AI assistance and reviewed line by line by the developer. Everything else - code, interface art, achievement icons, the map and every capsule and screenshot - is hand-made. No content is generated by AI while you play.
Kingdoms in Ink uses pre-generated AI-assisted content, including decorative map frames, store artwork, and some in-game and store text and translations. These assets and texts are prepared and reviewed during development. The game does not generate AI content during play or connect to external AI services.

Character portraits, illustrations and store artwork were generated with an image model and curated by the developer. Background music was generated with Google Lyria and contains SynthID watermarking.
Translations were produced with AI assistance. No AI content is generated while you play.
Generative AI was used during development to create officer portraits, illustrations, backgrounds and other graphical assets, translations, and background music. This content was generated in advance; no AI content is generated during gameplay.
Diplomacy, or Else! was built with AI-assisted development. Generative AI was used, under the developer's direction and review, for game code and for writing text: interface strings, the in-game diplomacy word tables, achievement names and descriptions, and this store page, including their German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Ukrainian translations. The soundtrack was produced with an AI music tool and edited by the developer. Artwork, icons, the trailer and sound effects were made without generative AI.

Store page assets (screenshots, trailer, capsule art) depict or derive from this same game content. The game contains no live/runtime AI generation — all content is fixed at build time, and the game runs fully offline.
Some of the artwork in this game — including character portraits, user
interface elements, map and battle backgrounds, unit sprites, and visual

Some pre-generated artwork and audio were created with generative AI during development. These outputs are integrated as fixed assets; the game does not generate content live during gameplay or connect to a third-party AI service during gameplay.
The vast majority of assets are created by me or commercially licensed. I have used AI-generated assets for a few buildings and UI elements as a base end then modified heavily in Photoshop. I am a solo developer and know it’s a controversial topic, but I hope the 1000+ hours I have spent in Photoshop shines through, but I still want to be honest.
Generative AI tools are used during development to assist with selected art production and localization. All AI-assisted outputs are reviewed, edited, and approved by the development team before being integrated into the game. The game does not use generative AI at runtime, and no content is generated live or delivered directly to players as unreviewed AI output.
The packaged offline model generates diplomatic communications and makes faction decisions from structured game state with curated personalities.
