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

AI was used during development to create portions of the game’s pre-generated artwork, characters, animations, music, voices, and sound effects. These assets are included in the finished game. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.

AI tools (LLMs) were used solely for programming assistance, brainstorming, and writing Unreal Engine Blueprint logic. All visual assets, 3D models, and gameplay systems were entirely created and implemented manually by the solo developer.

Some generated 3D Models, Voice Overs

Images and translations were enhanced using AI to improve overall quality of the game.

This game was developed with help from an AI assistant under human direction and review. No content is AI-generated while the game is running.

Cover art, store page imagery and music were created with AI generation tools. All game design, writing and gameplay systems were created by the developer.

Art, textures, and sounds use both human work and AI generation.

Portions of this game's content were created with the assistance of generative AI tools under human direction and review. This includes much but not all of the visual artwork, the soundtrack, and the store page text and marketing copy. All AI-assisted content was curated, edited, and approved by the developer.

Generative AI tools were used in the creation of some visual assets in the game. Some generated artwork was used directly after review, while other generated artwork was edited, modified, or used as a starting point for final assets.

This game uses AI to assist in generating 3D models, videos, and studies of characters and environments.

Generative AI was used to create concept art and UI elements.

The game uses assets that were generated or modified using AI.

BirdBots uses generative AI tools during development to assist in the creation of certain promotional images, visual concepts, illustrations, and marketing materials. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. AI is not used during gameplay and does not affect the game's mechanics.

The game's programming uses AI to generate code.

AI-assisted. Developer-directed. Generative AI was used as a production tool during development: Claude assisted with prototyping and implementation, while Google Lyria was used to create the game's original 15-track soundtrack. The music and all other AI-assisted material were selected, edited, integrated, and play-tested by the developer to serve Boiler & Blood's dieselpunk folk-occult world.

Train Trek uses generative AI in two ways. During development we used AI tools to help make some assets: the user-interface art (HUD and menu icons, menu artwork, frames, button plates, mouse cursors), the instrumental soundtrack, and some sound effects. All of it was chosen, edited and finished by hand before it shipped. The 3D models are built procedurally by our own scripts, and the design, world generation and balancing are authored by hand. Parts of the source code were written with an AI coding assistant, reviewed and tested by the developer. While you play, the game speaks using a text-to-speech model that ships inside the game and runs entirely on your own computer. It voices tutorial guidance, hints and menu narration instead of pre-recorded audio. It needs no internet connection, sends nothing anywhere, and never records or listens to you. It only reads lines we wrote and shipped with the game - it does not invent dialogue.

Generative AI tools were used to create some 2D images and audio content. All generated content has been manually reviewed and edited.

Some images are generated using AI

We used generative AI tools to assist in creating in-game background illustrations. All AI-generated assets were pre-rendered during development and do not generate content in real-time.

Generative AI tools were used to assist in creating pre-generated visual artwork, including concept art, key art, and promotional images used for the Steam store page and marketing materials. All AI-assisted visual assets are static, reviewed, selected, and edited by the developer to match the game's dark sci-fi visual direction. The game does not use live generative AI to create gameplay, player-generated content, dialogue, images, audio, or other content during gameplay.

During production we use generative AI in one narrow way: internal placeholders. Rough concept sketches and scratch voice lines hold a spot while the real assets are being made. Every placeholder is flagged in-engine, and none of it ships in the game players buy — the release version contains no generative AI content. Testers in early builds may spot flagged placeholders; that's what the flags are for. All art, writing, and voice work in the finished game is made by people. We know even placeholder use is a fair thing to question, so where we do use these tools, we aim for ones that license their training data and compensate the creators behind it.

The development team used generative AI tools only during the to create asset icons for Steam Achievements and to generate Voice-Over assets for localization.

This game uses curated, pre-generated AI-assisted artwork and audio. These assets are created before release, then reviewed, edited, processed, and integrated by the developer as fixed in-game images, ambience, and related store or marketing materials.

This game uses generative AI tools during development to create or assist with some pre-generated content. This includes code assistance, visual asset creation, and music creation. Generative AI tools are used to assist with programming during development, to create or assist with character artwork, background artwork, store page graphics, Steam community assets, and marketing materials, and to create or assist with background music. AI-assisted assets and code are reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer before release. The game does not use generative AI to generate real-time content during gameplay, and players do not directly interact with a generative AI system. The “combat AI” described in the game is a gameplay system that controls enemy behavior and tactical decision-making. It is not generative AI.

Cogfall was developed solo by Nodding Panda Studios. To bring the steampunk Clockwork Kingdom to life, AI tools were used to generate artwork and music under the creative direction of the developer. Every image and track was intentionally prompted, selected, and refined to fit the game's vision — AI served as a creative tool, not a replacement for creative decisions. All gameplay systems, code, game design, writing, and balancing were created entirely by the developer.

This game uses generative AI tools to assist in creating certain environmental assets, which were then manually upscaled, recolored, and heavily edited for quality

Generative AI tools were used only to assist in the creation of certain store page and marketing images. No AI-generated content is created during gameplay, and the game does not use live AI systems or connect to external AI services while running.

The vast majority of visual content was created using AI

In this work, AI-powered image generation technology was used to create some of the background images.

AI tools are used to generate backgrounds, props, music and voices. The writing, however, is entirely done by a human person (yours truly).

Used artificial intelligence for localization translation

AI was used to develop some of the musical compositions.

A Quick Note on AI Tools: To give our loading screens a cinematic, atmospheric feel, we took screenshots of our actual game environments and used AI tools solely to enhance the lighting, details, and decals for those transition images. For our Achievement Icons, we used AI-generated imagery only for the background fillers, while the main icon artwork was manually created. Rest assured, 100% of the actual playable game, including all 3D models, world textures, animations, and code was fully handcrafted by our team.

Generative AI tools were used during development for technical planning, system architecture, building custom systems, code cleanup, and similar engineering support. Some current pre-release visual/model assets are AI-generated placeholders. These are intended to be replaced with final authored assets before release.

The demo version contains temporary AI (generated music and promotional artwork only). These assets will be replaced with original content in the final version of the game.

Audio in the development of this game was created using AI tools.

This game uses generative AI to create live in-game dialogue, AI character responses, personality details, and evaluation feedback during gameplay. The generated content is text-based and is produced dynamically through an external AI API.

The developing side of the game uses AI to communicate ideas to the Art side of the project, none of the AI generated images enter the game.

Generative AI has been used when creating some of the images in the menu and the backgrounds in the game. The technology has also been used when creating and editing some of the audio tracks.

Generative AI tools were used to assist with writing, reviewing, and improving parts of the game's code. All models, textures, images, sounds, and music used in Single Note are created through human work. The game does not use AI-generated visual assets, audio assets, music, or 3D models. Single Note is developed by a small independent studio, and AI tools were used as development assistance during production. All final implementation decisions, testing, integration, and creative direction are handled by Fanjoy Studio. The game does not use live-generated AI content during gameplay.

Some placeholder art in the market.

Generative AI was used only for temporary placeholder visuals on this Steam store page. These images are not final game content and will be replaced with original artwork created by our artists before release.

Generative AI was used for base sprites and code. All assets were manually edited and adapted to match the game's aesthetic and ensure originality. Content is static and pre-rendered.

AI was used to help fine-tuning some graphics and animations, also to create some background graphics. AI was used to create voices and to fine tune music.

AI tools were used during development to assist with asset creation (pixel art sprites, terrain textures, localization drafts) and game design iteration. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited and curated by the developer.

I’m a good programmer, but a terrible artist. So some of the images were created with the help of AI. By the time of release, I’ll try to remove all AI-generated images from the Steam page and from some textures in the game.

Translation is assisted by generative AI, revised and proofread by the arthor.

Generative AI was used in the creation of assets and the development of this game.
