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

Generative AI tools were used to create voice-over content for the game. The generated voice content was reviewed and edited by the development team before being implemented in the game.

AI tools were used during development to assist with asset creation, texture generation, and development workflows. All AI-generated content was reviewed, modified, and curated by the development team.

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-assisted tools were used in the creation and development of some 3D models, audio, and visual content in the game. All such content was generated in advance during the development process and added to the game as pre-made assets. No content is generated in real time using generative AI during gameplay.

Some of the promotional artwork, store page banners, and/or trailer visuals for Ascend Idle: Chronicles were created with the assistance of Generative AI tools. The core game code and design were developed entirely by hand as a solo project.

Generative AI was used during development to create pre-generated artwork (including fictional film posters and marketing images), narration, and some text and translations. These are fixed assets shipped with the game. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an external AI service.

I'm a solo developer, and I'd rather be upfront about where AI tools were used. The character base meshes and some of their textures were generated with AI. Every one of them was then brought into Blender and worked over by hand. Cleaned up, edited, re-textured and animated before it went anywhere near the game. They're all rendered with a toon shader I wrote myself. Everything else is made by hand. The tavern, the props and the whole environment are hand modeled. Other than that, everything else in the game was made by me.

Select visual artwork used in Comic Shop Tycoon, including some in-game comic and product artwork as well as Steam promotional artwork, was created using generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is pre-generated and fixed. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services while running.

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.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating background concept art and store graphical promotional assets.

Some model using AI

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some visual assets, written content, and localization used in the game and related store materials. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and, where necessary, edited by the developer before release. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not rely on external AI services while being played.

Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of some visual assets, UI elements, sound effects, and music featured in Warchaic. Software development was handled by our development team, while animations and visual effects (VFX) were either created by our team or sourced from licensed asset packages.

Player portraits and team logos were created with AI assistance.

AI tools were used to assist in creating the game logo, marketing artwork, and some 2D in-game assets such as item icons and illustrations. All AI-generated content is pre-generated (nothing is generated at runtime) and was manually reviewed and edited. All 3D models, gameplay, code, and game design are hand-crafted.

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 tools were used. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developer, with some assets further edited and refined.No AI content is generated during gameplay.

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

AI was used to assist with writing the game source code. All visual assets are handmade pixel art by the author. All audio assets are licensed from 3rd party sample banks.

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 game's 2D artwork, including character, enemy and boss sprites, item icons, and backgrounds, was created using generative AI tools. All such assets were individually reviewed, selected, polished and integrated by the development team.

The Steam graphics and promotional visuals were made using AI. However, no AI was used for any of the in-game designs or assets.

This game uses generative AI in two ways. (1) Live generation: narrative text and NPC dialogue are generated in real time based on the player's choices and current game state. Illustrative images for locations, scenes and items are also generated on demand the first time such an element appears, then cached and reused. Core game rules, numerical outcomes, inventory changes, and progression are always resolved by deterministic game systems. Live text generation is governed by server-side content rules that cannot be directly modified by player input. Live image generation uses server-controlled prompt templates based on structured game data (entity type, name, and a short in-world description) within a fixed ink-painting style; players cannot directly provide image-generation prompts. (2) Development-time generation: some static art assets (including location, scene, item and background illustrations) were generated with image-generation AI tools during development. Store-facing marketing assets and selected screenshots containing such artwork were reviewed by a human before publication. Store page copy was drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by a human. 本游戏以两种方式使用生成式AI。(1)实时生成:叙事文本与NPC对话根据玩家选择与当前游戏状态实时生成;地点/场景/物品的插画也会在其首次出现时按需生成,之后缓存复用。核心规则、数值结算、物品变动与进度始终由确定性游戏系统裁定。实时文本生成受服务端内容规则约束(玩家输入无法直接修改);实时图像生成使用服务端控制的提示词模板,基于结构化游戏数据(实体类别、名称与简短的世界内描述)并锁定水墨画风格,玩家不能直接书写图像提示词。(2)开发期生成:部分静态美术素材(包括地点、场景、物品与背景插画)在开发过程中使用图像生成AI制作;用于商店宣传以及所选商店截图中的相关素材均经过人工审阅后发布。商店页文案由AI辅助创作、经人工审定。
