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

Generative AI is used to assist with the translation and localization of in-game text and Steam store page content from the original Japanese into other supported languages.

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

Standard C++ game code, written during development with the assistance of an AI programming assistant, used as a pair-programming tool. This includes gameplay systems (crafting, inventory, world simulation), rendering and UI code, and development tooling. It is ordinary, static game logic. AI assistance was used only during development, directed by myself through specific requests, with every change reviewed, tested, and committed to version control by myself. The shipped game contains no AI models and does not execute or generate any code or content via AI at runtime. The game is a fully offline, single-player experience.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of pre-generated visual assets, including some game artwork and Steam store/marketing assets. All generated content is reviewed and curated before inclusion in the game or its marketing materials. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Generative A.I. was used to create some artwork for the Game.

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

Crystal Keeper is made by one person. I used generative AI tools during development to help create some of the game's assets, such as artwork and music, every asset was hand-picked and integrated by me. No AI is used at runtime: nothing is generated while you play.

AI was used as an assistant for programming.

Some pre-made content was created with the help of generative AI and curated by the developer: promotional/splash artwork and some item icons, several source 3D meshes, background music tracks, and portions of in-game flavor text. The game does not generate any content at runtime.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some game artwork, audio, localization text, and other game content.

American Gold Rush uses limited AI-generated art in a small number of places, all of it pre-generated during development. No AI is used while you play, and nothing about the game changes at runtime. AI-generated: the title artwork, some background pieces like the sky. Not AI-generated: all pixel art, all sound effects, all music, all game code and all writing. These are human-made, by named people paid for the work.

Some artwork (ship, station and environment sprites, icons) and sound effects were created using generative AI tools during development, then curated and hand-edited by the developer. All AI-generated content was reviewed before inclusion.

Petrivore uses AI-assisted tools in parts of its development: some icons and steam assets were made with AI image generation, the in-game text and steam page was translated with AI translation tools. All of it was reviewed and edited by the developer.

The pixel art was generated with PixelLab. The music was generated with Suno on a paid plan. I wrote the prompts, picked what worked, and threw out what didn't. The game itself, the economy, the systems, the design, the words on screen, I built. Nothing is generated while the game runs. Everything ships as files. There are no AI calls at play time, no AI voice, and no chatbots.

Scuttled was created by a solo developer working with an AI assistant. AI was used under the developer's direction to help write the game's code, its in-game text and story logs, the procedurally drawn artwork and music, and the store page materials, including the key art and trailer. All of it was reviewed, revised, and approved by the developer. The game does not use AI at runtime: nothing is generated while you play, and everything you see and hear ships with the game exactly as authored.

Some of the content shipping with this game was created using generative AI: • Images: the title/loading screen, the store graphics (capsules) and the five faction portraits were generated with an image AI. • Audio: the title music, intro music, sector music tracks and the sound effects were created with AI tools. • Text: the store description was drafted with AI assistance. All of this content was selected, reviewed and integrated by hand. Not AI-generated: the 3D world, the ships, stations and effects — those are built procedurally and in Blender. The source code was developed with AI assistance; we mention this for completeness, even though development tools are exempt from disclosure.

Some of the assets in this game were created with the help of generative AI tools: part of the background music and sound effects, some of the 2D images and textures used in the game and on the store page, some of the 3D models, and part of the source code. Every AI-assisted asset was reviewed and adjusted by the developer before it was included in the game, and we do not knowingly use material that infringes the rights of third parties. This game does not generate any content with AI while it is running; NPC dialogue is randomly selected from text written in advance by the developer.

The voice lines, non-English localization, and store art in Stellar Orbit are provided by generative AI tools.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with writing, optimising, and structuring code.

Mithril uses generative AI in much of its art and audio. This includes 3D models, textures and materials throughout the game — cave and terrain surfaces, environment art and interface textures — 2D item and UI icons, store page and marketing images, music and sound effects. All of it was edited and finalised by hand against the game's art direction. No AI-generated voice is used, and no generative AI runs while you play — the game generates nothing at runtime. Not AI-generated: world generation (hand-written procedural algorithms, not AI), model animations, game code, and level and systems design.

Generative AI was used during development to assist with programming and the creation of certain visual, textual, and other development assets. All content included in the final game was reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

As a single indie developer I had to use AI to help with creating some of the assets for store pages and logos.

Deepclaim was made by a solo developer working with an AI coding assistant (Anthropic's Claude). The AI assisted in writing the game's code, which draws all of the game's visuals procedurally at runtime (the game ships with no image files) and synthesizes all of its audio procedurally (no audio files). AI assistance was also used for some in-game text, the Steam store page description, and the store/marketing capsule images. All AI-assisted output was directed, reviewed, and edited by the developer.

We use generative AI for some of the following elements. ・Some of the in-game art ・Some of the code ・Some of the banners and trailers on the store page

Wildmark was made by one person. The story and all of its dialogue are my own, written by me. But without a studio's budget to commission artists, composers, and voice actors, I used generative AI tools to help create much of what you see. Nothing ships as a raw, untouched generation: every asset was hand-directed, chosen, refined, and assembled to fit a single cohesive, hand-crafted style and world, and reviewed by me to make sure it belonged. In the end, what matters is whether the game is enjoyable and worth your time, not which tools helped build it.

AI was used in parts of the character design.

Currently I am developing this game as a solo self-funded "indie dev" and games need a lot of assets to be fun. I currently have used free (Creative Commons Zero) assets for audio, and generative AI for some placeholders in the game. I am currently in the process of finding both audio and visual artists to replace the AI generated assets, it takes time and resources, but ultimately I want all the assets to be hand authored by humans.
