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

Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some visual assets, including concept exploration, initial image generation, and partial redraws. All such assets were reviewed, edited, integrated, and finalized by the developer. The game does not use generative AI at runtime and does not generate any content live.

- AI coding agents were used to assist with general game programming for Sudden Death Golf in order to iterate over gameplay ideas faster as a solo dev - Some parts of in-game UI/UX design were created with the assist of AI - No 3D models or textures were made with AI. Most were made by hand by me, some were bought or commissioned

The Game Icon and Logo were made from the inspirations of AI.

Some of the content in AquaDucked! was created with the help of generative AI tools: - Some background music was created using AI music-generation tools. - The blurred background images behind each theme were created or refined with AI tools. - Portions of the store page and marketing text were drafted with AI assistance. The core game art — the ducks, tools, and objects you play with — is either original, hand-painted watercolor, or photo-generated, not AI-generated. All AI-generated content is pre-generated during development. AquaDucked! does not generate any content live during gameplay and does not connect to any external AI services while you play. We've made commercially reasonable efforts to ensure this content is appropriate and does not infringe on the rights of others.

I'm a solo developer using Generative AI as a supportive tool to realize my gameplay vision. The game has been crafted with human intent and is still firmly anchored in manual craftsmanship. Generative AI has helped with coding, some art assets, and the recording of voiceover narration.

We used generative AI to help create some level art and 2D visuals. Everything was then tweaked, edited, and put together by us. All gameplay and design decisions are fully human-made.

Some audio, Some Code

We occasionally used generative AI as an assistive tool to refine certain visual assets, enhance texture resolutions, and process minor audio elements. These tools were used sparingly to support our production workflow, and all final content has been manually reviewed and polished by our team to ensure it meets our quality and legal standards.

We used AI tools to help fix bugs in the code and write functions we didn’t know how to make ourselves.

Some of the store page and in-game art appears to be potentially AI-generated.

AI has been used to help develop the game's cover art.

All character designs are conceptually created and developed manually by our game designers. However, during the pre-production phase, AI technology is utilized to assist artists in rendering intricate character details more efficiently. No live-generated AI content is employed in the game. Character animation production is entirely handled manually by artists. AI technology is only applied in the pre-production stage. Scene illustrations are generated using AI (partially generated directly, and partially guided by initial scene compositions drafted by concept artists). All AI-generated content is subsequently refined and processed by concept artists (to meet engine technical requirements). All animations are manually produced and undergo extensive polishing.

Some graphics were initially created using AI and then refined through retouching.

Code and store page artwork is made with AI assistance.

We have used AI to assist in programming and writing tasks.

Generative artificial intelligence was used to create some visual, auditory, and written assets for Disc Golf and its marketing materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.

Steam page banner was genearted using AI. But no more than that.
