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

"Generative AI tools were used to create 2D promotional images and capsule artwork for the Steam store page. The game itself does not use real-time AI generation during gameplay."

Environments and environmental artwork are not created using generative AI. Generative AI is used as part of the early development workflow for prototyping some creature artwork, which is going to be replaced during development.

All simulation, art, audio and text in Terra Logic are hand-made — the game ships with no AI-generated content and makes no network requests by default. One optional feature can generate text at runtime: the "whisper" narrator, a single one-line ambient caption. By default it composes lines from a built-in, hand-written phrase library. Players who supply their own Anthropic (Claude) API key in a local config file may enable AI-generated phrasing for that one caption line; without a key the AI path is fully inactive. AI output never affects simulation, gameplay, art, audio, or any other text.

Select visual artwork used in Comic Shop Tycoon, including some in-game comic and product artwork as well as Steam promotional artwork, was created using generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is pre-generated and fixed. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services while running.

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

Some visual artwork used in the game and promotional materials was created with generative AI tools and then selected, edited, and integrated by the developer. No generative AI content is created during gameplay.

AI is used to poilish the Steam Page content, as well as helping in generating some artworks in-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.

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.

The music in Sandweh was generated with the assistance of AI tools. The developer curated, edited, and implemented the tracks in-game.

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.

This game uses generative AI in two ways. (1) Live generation: narrative text and NPC dialogue are generated in real time based on the player's choices and current game state. Illustrative images for locations, scenes and items are also generated on demand the first time such an element appears, then cached and reused. Core game rules, numerical outcomes, inventory changes, and progression are always resolved by deterministic game systems. Live text generation is governed by server-side content rules that cannot be directly modified by player input. Live image generation uses server-controlled prompt templates based on structured game data (entity type, name, and a short in-world description) within a fixed ink-painting style; players cannot directly provide image-generation prompts. (2) Development-time generation: some static art assets (including location, scene, item and background illustrations) were generated with image-generation AI tools during development. Store-facing marketing assets and selected screenshots containing such artwork were reviewed by a human before publication. Store page copy was drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by a human. 本游戏以两种方式使用生成式AI。(1)实时生成:叙事文本与NPC对话根据玩家选择与当前游戏状态实时生成;地点/场景/物品的插画也会在其首次出现时按需生成,之后缓存复用。核心规则、数值结算、物品变动与进度始终由确定性游戏系统裁定。实时文本生成受服务端内容规则约束(玩家输入无法直接修改);实时图像生成使用服务端控制的提示词模板,基于结构化游戏数据(实体类别、名称与简短的世界内描述)并锁定水墨画风格,玩家不能直接书写图像提示词。(2)开发期生成:部分静态美术素材(包括地点、场景、物品与背景插画)在开发过程中使用图像生成AI制作;用于商店宣传以及所选商店截图中的相关素材均经过人工审阅后发布。商店页文案由AI辅助创作、经人工审定。

The game's text (Korean and English) was written with the help of an AI assistant, based on the developer's research into traditional Korean architecture, and was fact-checked and reviewed by the developer before shipping. The English text follows a Korean–English glossary of traditional architecture terms prepared and approved by the developer. No other shipped content is AI-generated: all 3D models, buildings and characters are built procedurally in code, and the background music is licensed traditional Korean music (CC BY).

Some in-game icons were created with the assistance of generative AI during development.

Some of the artwork materials in this work are generated using AI

Game icon and Steam capsules were made with ai support

This game uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help generate certain in-game assets, including art/visuals and audio/sound effects.Art Assets: Some background images, textures, or character portraits were created with the assistance of AI generation tools and then edited or curated by our team.Audio Assets: Certain sound effects or ambient audio tracks were created or enhanced using AI-assisted audio tools.Gameplay Impact: These AI-generated assets are static or pre-rendered and do not change dynamically via live AI generation while the game is running. All core game code, story design, and final asset integration were directed and finalized by human developers.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with code, images, and localized text.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with portions of the game’s source code. All AI-assisted code was reviewed, modified, integrated and tested by the developer. The game’s models, artwork and other visual content were created or sourced separately and were not generated by AI. CoasterWorks does not generate AI content during gameplay or connect to external AI services.

This game heavily uses generative AI to generate the initial world and direct events and experiences for the player in real time.

Industry Unbound includes a limited number of pre-generated visual assets created with the assistance of generative AI. Each asset was selected, reviewed, and edited by the developer before release. Generative AI is not used to generate content in real time during gameplay.

Some placeholder assets in the current build (terrain textures and sound effects) were AI-generated and are being replaced with human-made and procedural versions. All models, writing, characters, and design are human-made.

We are utilising ElevenLabs’ text-to-speech tool, to generate some voice-over elements within Train Sim World 7. This is utilised in features such as training modules, as well as platform and onboard train announcements. All scripts and content are written by Dovetail Games staff, with ElevenLabs used to generate the audio in these instances.

Some of the art in this game — the chef characters, the customer characters, the lane skins, and some of the plates — was created with the help of AI image generation tools. The sushi artwork does not use AI.

AI generation tools were used to help create the character art on the Steam capsule and the in-game skill icons. AI was also used to assist with localization/translation. All assets were reviewed and finalized by the developer.

Some of the game's graphical assets are optimised with AI technology.

We used AI tools (such as Claude) to assist with brainstorming game ideas, structuring code logic, and drafting textual content during development.

Some in-game text (such as the messages in bottles) and store page copy were written with the assistance of AI tools. All content has been reviewed and edited by the developer.

During development, we used AI tools to assist in creating some art assets, voice acting, and dialogue. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated before release — the game does not generate content with AI in real time while you play. All such content is reviewed and refined by our team to ensure quality and originality, and to avoid generic-looking characters.

We use AI to generate content for the game such as text descriptions, some images like npc portraits and ware items and to generate some stories to create immersion in the game. We also generate some voicing for dialogs using licensed voices. We also generate some other sounds such as sound effects (wind, sea waves) All content text, images, voices or sounds are reviewed manually by a human to verify the content and licensing aspects.

The game's surface textures — the colour and relief maps applied to parts, buildings, terrain and visual effects — and its sound effects were created with generative AI tools during development. They are generated ahead of time, reviewed and integrated by hand, and ship with the game as ordinary image and audio files. Nothing is generated while you play, and the game never connects to an AI service. The simulation itself — orbital mechanics, aerodynamics, the production chains — is written by hand.

Pre-Generated Content This demo includes pre-generated AI content: - The background images used in the Store, Breeding, and Inventory screens. - The shared background image used in the Collection and Tutorial screens. - Wooden aquarium decorations. - Snail aquarium decorations. - Background music tracks generated with Suno AI. The developer holds a license for their use. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay. Players cannot enter prompts or interact with AI systems.

Some art, music and sound effects were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, under the creative direction of the developer. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and curated before inclusion. The game does not use AI to generate content during gameplay.

UI Elements, sounds.

Generative AI is used to assist with research or as rough internal placeholders. No AI-generated art, animation, music, text, or in-game live generation is used. All game content is created, shaped, reviewed, and approved by our team.

AI tools were used during development to provide feedback on artwork and assist with localization. No AI-generated artwork or other AI-generated assets are included in the final game.

CrystalCanvas uses generative AI in parts of its development process. For the sound effects played when placing voxels, we aimed to create sounds that remain pleasant and unobtrusive even during extended play sessions. After exploring a variety of sound assets and recordings, we ultimately used generative AI as part of the sound design process to achieve the desired result. Generative AI is also used as a development aid through Claude Code for generating and assisting with parts of the code related to voxel space management and rendering. Generative AI is not used to generate the voxel artwork or gameplay content itself.

NDP features some AI generated narrations, sounds effects and background music.

Generative AI was not used to create any gameplay visual nor sound asset. The only generated asset is the enhanced game logo (the game name).

Game Design

AI-assisted tools were used during the development of this game to help with portions of the programming process, the creation of some visual assets, and certain audio assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, refined, and integrated by the development team before release. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay and does not rely on external AI services while running.

Primarily used for coding

Some visual assets in this game were generated using AI.

During game development, we used AI tools to assist with the creation of some visual art assets and to support programming work.

During development, a small number of texture assets were generated with AI assistance and have been manually modified for use as visual placeholders.

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of selected promotional and visual assets. During gameplay, an AI-based analysis service may also be used to evaluate submitted player-created clay sculptures and determine how closely they match the given challenge.

AI was used for translations.

During development, we used procedural and AI-assisted tools to analyze, merge, refine, and polish systems that were originally developed through years of our own experimentation, iteration, and hands-on exploration. These tools accelerated implementation and helped unify complex ideas beyond what would have been practical through manual development alone, while the underlying concepts, creative direction, design decisions, and final implementation remain the work of our development team.

AI was used to produce placeholder UI components & sprites (e.g. icons, npc sprite, spell sprites).

Pixel art assets, in-game text translation to other languages were produced with AI assistance during development and edited by the developer. No content is generated at runtime.
