I think the issue is, that they didn’t remove all the assets in the version they submitted for the award. Yes, the assets were later removed, but the version that was used for the awards still had those assets.

I agree with your argument as a whole, but it doesn’t really apply here. There wouldn’t have been an issue if they had indeed replaced the assets with real art in time.

Would you consider it your own code or Code that was generated by AI?

Sending Emails related to development is still not development itself.

If youre washing your gymnastic dress, it’s not considered doing gymnastics. You are even allowed to wash them while high. Still wouldn’t get you disqualified from the Contest, just when you’re actually high while doing gymnastics.

Games developed using generative AI are strictly ineligible for nomination.

You arent developing a game when you sennd Emails to someone. Same as you’re not a developer when you do the finances.

Thats part of the company that arent involved in game development.

Your argument is equal to me claiming piblishers are developers.

They might want to make it more clear for the purposefully ignorant people though.

I used airdroid in the past. It can also mirror your PC onto your phone and vice versa.

I don’t know how it is these days, mustve been ten years ago that I used it.

In light of Sandfall Interactive confirming the use of gen AI art in production on the day of the Indie Game Awards 2025 premiere, this does disqualify Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from its nomination. While the assets in question were patched out and it is a wonderful game, it does go against the regulations we have in place.

I’m pretty sure sending Emails isnt considered game development.

That Argument is moot though, because they were in fact banned for using AI Art, not some internal spreadsheet or Emails they sent.

Theyre not limiting their tools, they’re limiting some awards they could win by doing the art themselves.

They’ve cared about the shareholders over the customers for way too long. Enshittyfication isnt a strategy, it’s a symptom of promising infinitive growth.

Fritz is the best

Is there any coke alternative that’s almost as good and in some regard better, but for free?

Your Laptop shouldnt even heat up while streaming Videos.

They said they would never attack Ukraine. In fact they’ve written it down and signed it.

The power of programming.

Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa is center-right, so more alligned with the democrats in the US, not with the Neonazi party that calls themselves conservative.

I wouldn’t vote him, but calling him a fascist is pretty far off reality.

Why do you mention so many people but not him? Wtf does Ronaldo have to do with anything?

Okay, steam cards it is then.

Yep, autotune rappers have been pushed for years, and I always suspected it’s to make the transition to AI music easier.

The same parents that allow their children to play these games now will allow them to play then.

This will just make me not want to play these games.

Possible.

I experienced it as an impossible puzzle to not die in the first hour. I went with a different approach each time, rolled a couple of 1s and died.
