What developers actually wrote

The following artworks are AI - Generated: -Item Icons -Paintings
Beatrice

Some AI-generated placeholder music and conceptual artwork were used during development and the promotional design process. All gameplay content, levels, story, characters, dialogue, and final implementation have been created, reviewed, and curated by the development team. Any AI-assisted content is subject to human oversight and modification prior to release.
Curse of Baghdad

Card, character, background, UI and store art, as well as some in-game text and translations, were made with the help of generative AI. The game does not generate any content with AI while it runs.
Cheat Koi-Koi

Generative AI was used to help create some images on the Steam store page and some visual assets and objects in the game. AI tools also assisted with debugging during development. The game does not generate AI content during play.
Fungal Field

Generative AI was used during development to create some environment artwork and branding, and to assist with localization and store text. The game does not generate AI content during play or connect to external AI services.

Method

Population: every Steam entry tagged Indie (492) in the Games category (998) released in the window.
Sample: drawn at random without replacement, seed 20261010, so the draw can be repeated.
The disclosure field does not exist in the Steam API. Each store page is read directly.
Counted as a disclosure when the section is present and holds the developer's own text.

Limits

Steam search returns roughly 1,450 entries per query, newest first. That is how far back one query reaches, which is why a window covers part of a month rather than all of it. Longer periods have to be collected week by week, as they happen.
Only the English store page is read.
A disclosure is self-reported: this measures what developers declare, not what they used.
The confidence interval covers sampling error only, without a finite-population correction.
