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

AI was used solely for localization purposes.

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.

We are team of two with a design and development background. We have a combined decades experience shipping production-quality code and art. We use AI along with our other tools, like Blender, Substance, etc. to help us build our vision. We use AI in the early stage of concept development and prototyping, coding assistance, but everything that makes it in-game is hand-crafted and authored by us. The music is played by hand real instruments. All screen captures are 100% in-game with no alterations.

Some pre-rendered 2D art was created with the assistance of generative AI tools: the playable characters' animation frames, world backgrounds and tile art were generated from the developer's original character and world designs, then hand-edited, aligned and baked into final game assets by the developer. A small number of sound effects were also created with AI audio tools and then mixed by hand. The store page capsule images are composed from the same AI-assisted paintings plus hand-set typography. All AI-assisted content is pre-rendered, was reviewed by the developer before shipping, and no content is generated by AI at runtime.

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.

The game uses AI only for textures and code

Generative AI was used for programming assistance and to create some BGM. The generated music was edited and remastered by the developer. All visual assets were created manually without generative AI. No live-generated AI is used during gameplay.

The application includes a small set of pre-generated pixel-art example assets, including default cat character poses, icons, and promotional visuals. They were created with generative AI assistance during development and curated as static demonstration content shipped with the application. The product does not generate AI content at runtime and does not embed, call, or operate a generative AI model or service. Its AI Material Assistant only provides editable prompt templates and links to third-party services outside the application. Players may import their own images, GIFs, audio, and Workshop content.

Generative AI was used to create and/or assist with some promotional and marketing materials for the game, including store capsule artwork, cover images, and other store page visuals. Generative AI was not used to generate gameplay content or content during gameplay.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with programming during development and to support the creation of some of the game's music. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and integrated by the developer.

Generative AI was used solely to assist with drafting and translating the Japanese and English descriptions for the Steam store page. Generative AI was not used for any other purpose. All content within the game itself was created by humans.

We use AI-based text-to-speech tools to generate the character voice-over in this game. Everything else that ships in the game is made by our own development team.

AI tools were used during development to generate some of the visual assets (such as UI elements/background textures) and promotional/audio elements. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and integrated manually into the game.

Some of the code was generated with AI assistance.

Since all the content of the code was completed by the producer alone, it was inevitable to use AI for bug maintenance.

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

Store and Library creatives were enhanced using AI. Store descriptions were created and translated using AI.

This game may include content created with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence, including artwork, music, sound, narrative, or other assets. The use of generative AI may change over the course of development and future updates, including the introduction of further AI-generated content.

Some pre-rendered assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development: the key art illustration, the store capsule images derived from it, and parts of the localization (translated interface text). All AI-assisted content was reviewed and curated by the developer. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime.

I have used generative AI tools to assist in the creation of the character Elara's artwork for the capsule and for the in-game voiceover. All other aspects of the game are entirely handmade. No generative AI is used during gameplay.

The game's software architecture, logic scripts, and localization texts were drafted and optimized during the development process with the assistance of Rosebud AI. All assets, graphics, and code within the final application package are static, pre-rendered, and permanently compiled. No live or real-time AI generation occurs during gameplay, and the application does not connect to any external AI services.

In some screenshots on the store page, I used AI in order to show more clear image. In the gameplay, the artificial intelligence is not used.

We used AI tools (such as ChatGPT) to assist with game descriptions, promotional materials, and conceptual design. No AI is used in real-time gameplay or for generating assets during gameplay. All in-game content is manually crafted or pre-created.

This game contains pre-generated content created with the assistance of generative AI, including selected visual assets, music, sound effects, and written content. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and curated by the developer before release. The game does not use generative AI to create content live while players are playing.

The shop page features marketing images generated using AI

The game uses a mix of original, handmade assets and a few pre-generated AI components: - Voice & Narration: The narration for text lines has been generated using AI voice generation tools. - Music: The background music tracks contain AI-generated music. - Marketing & Branding: Out-of-game visual assets (such as the storefront graphics, library capsules, desktop icon, and startup splash art) contain AI-generated elements. All core code, gameplay mechanics, level design, in-game visual assets and the original story were created entirely from scratch without AI assistance.

Some music and portions of localized text were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before being included in the final game. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay.

Artificial intelligence was used to create the music.
