# GameDev AI Tools

> A free directory of AI tools for game developers. Filter by task (concept art, 3D models, textures, animation, voice, music, NPCs, code, levels, localisation, QA, trailers), engine, free plan and whether it is safe to ship commercially. Every fact comes from the vendor's own pages, with a source link and a last-checked date (2026-10-17). Anything we couldn't confirm is marked "unverified". There are no ratings, reviews or user counts.

## Steam AI-content disclosure (and other stores)
Checked 2026-10-17. Page: https://gamedevaitools.com/steam-ai-disclosure/

### Steam (Valve)
- Before review, you complete a Content Survey. Its third section covers generative AI in development or in the product. (source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/contentsurvey)
- Valve says efficiency gains from AI-powered dev tools are "not the focus" of the section. It is concerned with AI-created content that ships with the game and is consumed by players, such as artwork, sound, narrative and localisation. (source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/contentsurvey)
- Pre-Generated content (made with AI during development) is reviewed the same way as non-AI content, against your Steam Distribution Agreement promises: no illegal or infringing content, and consistency with your marketing materials. (source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/contentsurvey)
- Live-Generated content (made by AI while the game runs) has the same rules, plus you must describe the guardrails that stop it generating illegal content. (source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/contentsurvey)
- Valve does not currently ship Live-Generated AI in Adult Only Sexual Content games. (source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/contentsurvey)
- Valve revised and clarified this guidance in January 2026 (as reported by Game Developer on 16 January 2026). (source: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/valve-tweaks-and-clarifies-ai-disclosure-rules-for-steam)

### itch.io
- In a developer update dated 20 November 2024, itch.io added a "Generative AI disclosure" field covering Graphics, Sound, Text & Dialog and Code. Answering yes applies the "AI Generated" tag; answering no applies "No AI". (source: https://itch.io/t/4309690/generative-ai-disclosure-tagging)
- The field is required for asset creators. Untagged assets made with generative AI are no longer eligible for indexing on browse pages. (source: https://itch.io/t/4309690/generative-ai-disclosure-tagging)
- See also the AI disclosure section of itch.io's quality guidelines. (source: https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines)

### Epic Games Store
- We found no generative-AI disclosure requirement in Epic's published store requirements (checked on the date below). (source: https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-games-store/requirements-guidelines/distribution-requirements/requirements-overview)
- Epic's "NoAI" and "CreatedWithAI" tags apply to marketplace assets, not store game listings. (source: https://marketplacehelp.epicgames.com/s/article/Introducing-the-NoAI-and-CreatedWithAI-tags?language=en_US)

### Google Play
- Google Play's AI-Generated Content policy covers apps that generate content with AI (for example from user prompts). Those apps must prevent restricted content and provide a way to report offensive AI output. (source: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14094294?hl=en)
