it’s irrelevant whether you agree with the rule or not… the award is for games that didn’t use AI during development. the game should not have originally been in contention for the award
i tend to agree this is the right way to use AI assets, but this isn’t the award for them… it doesn’t matter if it was accidental, if it was removed before release, or anything else
Yes it’s their rule. It’s a stupid rule.
But how do they intend to police said rule in the future? Since it clearly isn’t just for released art assets but THE WHOLE PROCESS.
If it’s just self reported what’s the point?
that’s all irrelevant though… the rule is the rule and they got caught
people should be allowed to have awards for games which only use humans, and if a game is caught cheating they should be disqualified
if they want to compete for some awards, these aren’t the awards for them: there are others
Yes yes. They used AI, they lost the award. I’m over it. Next topic:
How do they (indie awards) enforce this in the future? Please read, understand and explain:
The rules say no AI can be used in ANY stage of the development for ANYTHING. How do they check it? Where do they draw the line? Is it just art assets? Voices? Code?
You know, any studio today that cares about winning the indie award as much as you seem to would probably just ask the award coordinators for clarification.
TBH this is the first time I heard about these awards 😅
My flavour of neurospicy just doesn’t understand vague rules with massive issues with how to interpret them.
So you’re perfectly fine with vague rules like that?
