It’s worth knowing Steam doesn’t require you to disclose AI if you’re utilizing it for coding assistance. Their content survey says AI tools used to speed up development are not the focus. What you have to disclose is AI content that ships to players like art, sound, narrative, localization, store page and marketing assets.

As a solo developer on a tiny budget, Claude helps write my code, and I still review, playtest, and find gaps myself.

I disclosed anyway, and honestly a big part of that was fear it would get reviewed bomb if someone found out later AI was used in some way.

Disclosing helps you keep things honest, regardless, majority of all game development will shift to utilizing AI in some form, similar to how it has impacted all other industries.

It’s a tool, good developers will utilize it effectively and avoid AI slop. Fable 5.2 dropping yesterday feels like a real step in that direction.
