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

Art direction steered asset creation, SFX, store capsule artwork and the logo were produced with generative AI assistance then hand-edited. No generative AI runs at runtime; the game generates no content live.

Generative AI was used to assist in creating a small number of icons.

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 tools were used in a limited way during development to assist with certain aspects of the game's creation. AI was mainly used for occasional assistance and brainstorming, while the majority of the game's design, development, artwork, and content were created and directed by the developer.

Generative AI was used to assist with the creation of selected visual assets. All final images were reviewed and edited by the developer.

Some pre-rendered assets were created with generative AI tools and then curated, edited and integrated by hand: music tracks and their cover art, some sound effects and portions of 2d artwork (weapon, prop, and enemy sprites.) All generated content was reviewed by the developer before inclusion. No content is AI-generated at runtime.

Artificial intelligence was used to create the game's cover.

All artwork (characters, monsters, environments, visual effects) and much of the game's code were created with generative AI tools. No content is AI-generated while the game runs.

Some pre-generated visual and audio assets used in TOWERPULSE were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. These assets were selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. TOWERPULSE does not use generative AI at runtime. No player prompts, gameplay content, dialogue, or other assets are generated live while the game is running.

Some of this game's art and audio assets were created using generative AI tools, from the studio's own prompts and under our tool licenses, then curated and edited by the team. All game code and text were written by hand.

We used Artificial Intelligence tools as an aid during development and in the creation of some game content. All AI-assisted material was personally reviewed and adjusted by our team, who were involved throughout every stage of the creative process.

Some of the art in Spell Death was generated with an image model, then selected and edited by hand. Nothing is generated while you play.

This game contains pre-generated 2D artwork and source code created with ChatGPT during development. All game source code was generated with ChatGPT, then reviewed, tested, debugged, and integrated by the developer. The artwork was generated from original prompts written for Gravefire Tavern, then reviewed, selected, edited, composited, cropped, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an AI service.

Text content only, all pre-generated during development and reviewed by the developer. AI assistance was used to write the in-game story text, the user interface translations for the 8 supported languages, the achievement names and descriptions, and the store page copy. Nothing is generated live at runtime and the game does not connect to any AI service. Art, sprites, capsule images, icons and the soundtrack are NOT AI-generated: they are produced by procedural scripts written by the developer and included in the project source.

The text on this game's Steam store page was drafted with the help of generative AI and then edited by the developer. All in-game art, models, sounds and the game's logo are made by hand. No AI-generated content is produced while the game is running.

Some of the artwork in The Dawn Forge — the item, building, unit and boss illustrations — and the spoken narration lines were created using AI image and voice tools, working from the developer's own art direction and scripts, and then composed and edited by hand. Nothing is generated while you play: the game runs entirely offline and never contacts an AI service.

Some of the store promotional materials for this game (including the cover, main key visual, and some 2D UI elements) were created with the assistance of generative AI. In-game visual effects, programming, gameplay, and all other game content were developed entirely by human developers. The game does not use generative AI during runtime, nor does it collect or upload player data.

Generative AI was used during game development to assist with programming and to create some pre-generated promotional artwork. All AI-assisted outputs were reviewed and edited by the developer before release.

AI processing used for some props and characters

AI was used in development of the game

Artwork, music and parts of the text were created with AI tools and individually curated, refined and hand-fitted into the game by the developer. No AI content is generated at runtime.

As a solo developer, I made use of AI for generation of models and music to act as base components. These typically went through much manual editing afterwards. Some AI was used for testing & improvements to code in some areas

Generative AI was used as an assistant throughout development, and the developer reviewed and approved everything before it shipped. It helped draft part of the in-game text, some of the marketing copy, and the scripts that generate the artwork and the audio. No image or audio file came out of a generative model: every sprite, glyph, sound effect and music track is drawn or synthesised by deterministic code, and the same script always produces the same pixels and the same samples. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play.

Some of MORTAROT's visual assets were created with the assistance of generative AI image tools and then edited, composited, and refined by hand by the artist. Some interface text and the English localization were drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by the team. AI coding assistants were also used during development. All AI-generated content has been reviewed to ensure that it does not contain infringing or illegal material.

This game uses generative AI to create part of its visual content. Specifically, AI tools were used as part of the graphics workflow to generate concept and source material for sprites and artwork, which were then manually reworked, adjusted, and integrated into the final game using Affinity Designer.

Development used generative tools to assist with pre-generated pixel-art characters, environments, UI, effects and reference images (PixelLab and OpenAI image generation); pre-generated sound effects and voices (ElevenLabs); pre-generated music (Stable Audio); and portions of game code, tests and documentation (OpenAI Codex, Claude Code). Outputs were selected, edited, integrated and tested by the developer. The shipped game does not generate AI content at runtime and does not send player prompts to an AI service.

Generative AI tools were used during development to help create and refine pre generated visual assets, text and localization, and code. All AI-assisted material included in the game was reviewed and integrated by the developer, with further editing where needed. The game does not use live generative AI and does not generate content during gameplay.

部分美術採用AI輔助製作

Some assets in Dreamfend were created using generative AI tools. This applies to the music and to some of the visual assets. All such content is reviewed and refined by hand to match the game's style and the author's intent. No content is generated during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used to assist in the localization process for certain supported languages within the game.

Stick Crisis was developed with assistance from generative AI tools. AI-assisted image and animation tools were used to create selected visual assets, character animation frames and pre-rendered cinematics; these materials were reviewed, edited and integrated by the developer.

Store page: Some of the text and images on this store page were created with AI assistance and edited by the developer. No AI content is generated while you play. Everything in the game is created in advance and shipped with the build.

NovaShift: Universe uses AI-generated art. Some 2D artwork — enemy, boss and item sprites for several game universes, boss projectile sprites, and store/marketing images (capsules, key art, logo) — was created with the assistance of AI image-generation tools, then curated, edited, transparency-cleaned and integrated by the developer. All gameplay code, procedural art, audio and game design are human-made. No content is generated by AI at runtime; players never interact with a live AI system.

Generative AI assisted selected pre-rendered visual assets, all reviewed by the developer. No AI content is generated during gameplay.

Some 3D model creatures generated from my own hand-drawn concept art via Meshy; all 2D art sources, game design, and voice work is human-made, with voice acting by Manicvelocity and The Altoholic.

The visual art, music, sound effects, pilot voice lines and written text in Starhand were created using generative AI tools — Recraft for illustration, Suno for music, and ElevenLabs for voice and sound effects — and were then selected, edited and assembled by the developer. All of it is generated ahead of time and ships as fixed assets: the game does not generate any content while you play, and it does not connect to any AI service at runtime.

Generative AI is used in this game for localization. Text plays a supporting role here: the game has no story, dialogue or voice acting. Its text is limited to interface labels, node names and short stat descriptions, while the gameplay itself runs on numbers and visual language.

Some visual assets and promotional artwork were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and subsequently selected, edited, composited, and integrated by the developer. We intend to use AI to help for translating and localizing the game.

Swarmvore was built by a solo developer using generative AI tools for the game's code, art, and text. Every piece of content went through many rounds of prompting, testing, and refining, and every creative decision, from mechanics to tone to visual style, was made by the developer.

This work incorporates the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the following areas: Parts of the artwork, parts of the sound, and localization.

Generative AI was used during development to assist with some pre-generated visual artwork. The development team reviewed and curated the AI-assisted artwork before including it in the game. No generative AI content is created during gameplay, and no player data or input is sent to an AI service.

Some of our store and marketing art started as AI-generated images. We used Midjourney to create the base key art for the Steam capsules, the library hero and the page background, then edited and composited those into the final images ourselves. The logo, wordmark and typography are our own work. The game itself does not use generative AI. Every in-game asset (art, animation, UI, music, sound, and code) was made by us, by hand or with our own tools. We’ve reviewed the AI-assisted art, we hold the rights to use it commercially, and as far as we’re aware it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s work.

Some visual assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and then curated and edited by the developer: story illustrations, character portraits, key art / capsule backgrounds, and a small number of decorative item images. All gameplay sprites, animations, environments, music and sound effects are human-made assets used under CC0 / open licenses (credited in-game). Voice-over lines (English and Turkish) were generated with ElevenLabs text-to-speech under a commercial license, from scripts written by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime. The developer has reviewed all AI-assisted content to ensure it is not illegal or infringing.

Parts of the title background

All the art in Arcanum Solitarius, from the playing cards to the Arcana and the workshop backgrounds, was made with AI image generation using a model I trained myself. I was after one specific look: a medieval alchemist's workshop by candlelight, in aged parchment and dark walnut with verdigris and old gold. Most of the music was made the same way. I used AI to draft some of the in-game writing, then rewrote it into my own words. I picked and edited every piece before it went into the game, and the images on this page come from those same assets. Nothing is generated while you play.

Used for music

Generative AI was used to create the music in this game.
