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

Beneath Solmere includes pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI tools. This includes six music tracks created with Google Gemini/Lyria, AI-assisted localization for nine non-English languages, and AI-generated artwork used in Steam Store marketing materials. No generative AI is used during gameplay.

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.

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

Some Steam store and library artwork (capsules, hero, broadcast panels, and similar marketing images) was created with generative AI, then selected and cropped by the developer. A few 3D props were blocked out with an AI modeling tool and then adjusted by hand for the game. The game itself does not use generative AI while you play. Halley, the story, fishing, and locations are human-authored. Worlds and water use traditional game systems, not live AI generation.

Generative AI is used in a supplementary capacity, at two points. First, as a drafting step for some of the game's 2D illustrations: every such asset is then rebuilt through our own production pipeline — reduced to a strict 1-bit black-and-white format, curated, and animated frame by frame with in-house tools — so that it matches our art direction. Second, the game is written in French, and its translations into the eight other supported languages are AI-assisted. No generative AI runs in the game itself: all content ships fixed with the build.

AI-enabled tools were used during development to assist with asset creation. Some visual and audio assets in the finished game incorporate AI-assisted or AI-generated source material. For more information, visit https://jetgrave.com/ai-use/

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.

### Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence During the development of this game, I used generative artificial intelligence tools to assist me with various aspects of its creation. AI was mainly used to create and/or improve certain visual elements of the game, including images and PNG files used in different graphical elements. It also assisted me in creating the game’s trailer, as well as with certain scripts and technical elements that were particularly complex to implement. In these situations, AI was used as an assistance tool to help me develop, adapt, and finalize certain elements. The use of artificial intelligence does not mean that the game was entirely created by AI. The game’s design, artistic direction, gameplay, development, and final integration of the different elements were carried out and supervised by me. I want to be transparent with players regarding the use of these technologies in the creation of the game.

This game was created by an independent developer. Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with programming, debugging, text editing, and the initial localization of Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. All AI-assisted content was manually reviewed, edited, and approved by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay, and player data is not used for AI training.

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 tools were used during development to assist with the localization of some in-game text and the creation of certain visual assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and edited by the developer before being included in the game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
