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

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.

Some of this game's promotional and background artwork was made with generative AI tools and then edited by the developer: the store capsule/key art images, the painted title-screen background, and the cinematic clips used in the intro trailer. All gameplay, code, game design, in-game visuals (the emoji fighters, gloves, effects and UI), sound effects and music were created without generative AI. No AI content is generated during gameplay and the game does not connect to any AI service.

We used Claude (Anthropic) during development for the following: - Writing the store page description - Assisting with the translation of in-game text - Generating some simple in-game objects

SIDE OUT was built with AI-assisted development tools. No artwork, audio, text or other content in the game is generated by AI. All visuals are drawn procedurally in code, and all store text is written by hand.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of some content.

Artwork used on the Steam store page was created with the assistance of generative AI and was subsequently manually edited, refined, and improved. AI tools were also used to assist with the localization of the Steam store page.

Close Enough was built with generative AI. The code, the in-game text, the level layouts and all seven translations were written by an AI assistant (Claude) working to the developer's direction, and most of what you see on screen — the objects, the whole interface — is drawn by that code rather than loaded from image files. The doodle recognition inside the game is not generative. It is a small image classifier bundled with the game, trained on Google's Quick, Draw! dataset of human-drawn doodles. It runs entirely on your own computer, sorts each drawing into one of 100 pre-defined objects and creates nothing. Your drawings are never uploaded, and the release build contains no code that could upload them. The sprites, tiles, music, sound effects and font are licensed assets made by people, not by AI. Every one of them is credited inside the game under Esc → Credits.

The character selection screen uses some art that has been created with the assistance of AI. The character art display on the store page has been partially created with the assistance of AI.

There is usage of generative AI in two places and everything it produced has been reviewed. The soundtrack was created with the assistance of AI, and some of the writing was drafted with an AI assistant and then edited afterwards: card, UI and help text, the Simplified Chinese translation, and the store page and marketing copy. Nothing else is model output — the logo, the app icon and every visual in the game are drawn by the game's own code from geometry in the source, and the sound effects are synthesized as you play.

Generative AI is used in this game for tasks such as music generation. As an indie game and a small software development studio, we simply do not have the budget to license a large number of well-known and popular songs. Unfortunately, nothing comes for free – so AI is used as an alternative. AI is also used for tasks such as integrating graphics, music and beat analysis, and translating content. AI can complete time-consuming tasks within minutes that would otherwise take a human several hours. No jobs are being replaced or put at risk through the use of AI in this project. This “crazy game” was still made with lots of love by humans. An AI probably would not have come up with a game idea like this anyway. And because it fits the topic far too well: purely on principle, this disclosure text was of course also written with the help of AI.

I’m a solo developer doing my first-ever coding project. With no prior coding experience, I relied heavily on tons of tutorials to write the code and used AI to assist when troubleshooting some bugs. I also used AI to generate some of the project's visual content and images but mainly tried to use actual human work. It's been a massive learning experience, so thanks for your time, and I hope you can enjoy my project :)

Some small props and interface icons in this game began as AI-generated meshes and textures (text-to-3D / image-to-3D), which were then reworked by hand, retopologised, re-scaled, colour-graded and assembled before shipping. All other art comes from licensed asset packs and hand kitbashing. Nothing is generated live: no AI runs during play, and no player input is sent to an AI service.

AI is used for elements such as the capsule image on the store page.

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.

Swirl Together contains a rotoscoping/masking model similar to Adobe’s roto brush, or Davinci Resolve's magic masking tool, and a depth-estimating model for colliders.

Generative AI was used to help write portions of this game's text content, and parts of this store page. All game code, visuals, music, and sound design were created directly by the developer without generative AI. AI was used to help debug and troubleshoot code.

We use generative AI for text only: writing this store page and translating the game's in-game text into the supported languages. Everything else, including all art, animation and audio, is made by hand, and no content is generated while you play.

Some pre-generated artwork and audio included in MyHiStory were created with the assistance of generative AI during development. These assets were selected, reviewed, and curated by the developer before inclusion in the game. MyHiStory does not use generative AI to generate content or code while the game is running.

Some 2D artwork shipping in this game was created with the assistance of generative AI image tools, then edited by hand before inclusion. This applies to a portion of card illustrations and UI decorative elements. All such assets were checked for quality and rights compliance prior to shipping. This game does not generate any content with AI at runtime. The computer opponent is a conventional rules-based system, not a generative AI model.

AI was primarily used in two sections of the game. To aid and assist with turning 2d sprites that were created into animated variations of them. Steam store page pictures use AI to create variants of my logo. The background itself is AI the logo was designed by me and AI was used to adjust it in the photo.

A small number of textures in this game were generated with the assistance of AI tools. These are placeholders intended to be replaced with hand-made assets in future updates. As for the rest of the assets, they were hand made using 3D modelling and texturing software.

The game is developed entirely by a solo developer. AI has therefore only been leveraged as a tool for productivity and efficiency - the overall game is fully imagined, designed, and brought together by the developer.

Generative AI was used to create selected store and library artwork, music, and sound-effect source material. The outputs were curated and edited by the developer before inclusion. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and players cannot generate AI content.

most of map props

SpaceBell was Agentically Engineered! The custom engine, game loop, and the entire process to make the game is documented on the studios' X page. Far from vibed, the game has been in active dev for 2yrs.

Development of the game's code was assisted with AI, and some icons are AI generated.

Our work incorporates commissioned artwork, licensed and publicly available assets, and AI-generated content. Regardless of the source materials used, the final product is the creative expression of our development team.

Generative AI was used for the Steam Capsule and App Icon.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist in creating some pre-generated promotional artwork and 2D art assets. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

Ashen Wild was created almost exclusively with AI tools to generate the code and graphics, VFX, sound etc. The store page, website and other marketing materials were created using AI.

AI is used only for translation.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with the enhancement of certain promotional images, store page artwork, and place holder UI promotional content including lighting, color grading, atmospheric effects, and visual cleanup. The game's models, environments, gameplay systems, animations, and other in-game content are created by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI during gameplay.

Some of this game's shipped assets were created with the assistance of generative AI and then manually curated and edited by the developers: background artwork (landscape silhouettes), the current music tracks (temporary, until our hand-crafted soundtrack is finished), and parts of the English localization. No content is generated by AI at runtime, and the game does not connect to any AI services.

Ages TD was made with the help of generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is pre-generated during development, reviewed and edited by the developer; nothing is generated live while you play. - Some 3D models and their textures (enemies, towers, props) — generated with Meshy, then edited and integrated by the developer. - Music — generated with Suno from prompts written by the developer. - Cutscene illustrations and store page artwork — created with AI image tools, then edited by the developer. - Parts of the in-game dialogue and hint texts — drafted with AI assistance and rewritten by the developer. There is no AI-generated voice acting in the game.

Generative AI tools were utilized for auxiliary purposes in the production of some assets. These assets were modified and supplemented by professional art personnel and were finally applied to the game.

It has been used in the store page images.

We've harnessed the power of Generative AI technology to create several of our game's theme background artworks

Our team uses AI tools to help develop some in-game content

Generative AI was used during development to assist with the creation of some pre-generated assets. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to any external AI services.

Parts of this game's content were created with generative AI tools: - 3D models and their textures (towers, enemies, terrain and scenery props) were generated with Meshy AI, then hand-adjusted and assembled by the developer. - The English localization was AI-translated from the original Chinese text and then reviewed by the developer. - Some in-game flavor text (event, relic and achievement descriptions) was drafted with an AI writing assistant. - Some store page and marketing artwork was produced with AI image tools. All of this content is generated ahead of time and ships as fixed assets. The game does not generate any content live during play and does not connect to any AI service at runtime. Sound effects and music are procedurally synthesized by our own scripts and are not AI-generated.

The store page capsule and secondary assets (like machine icons) were AI-generated using existing in-game screenshots as a base.

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.

All assets in this game — art, music, and text — were created by humans. During development, generative AI tools were used for coding assistance and debugging. All resulting code was reviewed and approved by a human developer before inclusion.

It has been used in the store page images.

Generative KI wurde verwendet zur Erstellung erster Bilder entwürfe und zum ausarbeiten von Konzepten.

Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation and enhancement of selected promotional artwork and Store Page imagery. All generated materials were reviewed, edited, and curated by the development team. The game itself does not use generative AI to create content dynamically during gameplay.

AI image tools supported the creation of some 2D illustrations and promotional assets. Every asset was designed, reworked, and finished by our artists, and all writing, game design, and code are entirely human-made. Nothing in the game is AI-generated at runtime.

* Some artwork was created with reference to concept images generated by generative AI * Language localization

Some assets in Crown Cribbage were made with the help of generative AI tools: - in-game music was generated with AI music tools - capsule/key art - marketing copy drafts - assistance with programming One point of emphasis: The computer opponents in this game are not generative AI. They are hand-written heuristics, a fixed set of rules for discarding and pegging, tuned by difficulty. They see only what you see. They do not look at your hand, and nothing about them is generated while you play. No AI content of any kind is created during a match.

Some visual and audio content was created using AI.
