my guy are you nuts

Due to AI being used for the artwork, this entry has been DQ'd

Agreed!

Been chewing on this a bit, I kind of wish you just reached out to us personally.

But I hear you.

I am sorry we're falling short.

There are a lot of reasons we don't want AI used, and while it might be lower on the list, we currently hold it as a high priority. I only referenced one reason in the case you brought up, but there are a few other reasons we don't allow it as well. If nothing else, we want to ensure we're respecting our community, including our artists. 

But you make a fair point about AI code and programmers.

We're open to ways to moderate AI code properly. Still, it isn't as feasible to moderate AI code as AI art -- as AI art is a visual component, whereas moderating AI code would require us to look through and moderate the code of hundreds of entrants without any clear sign of AI code being detectable anyways. And many of programmers are using something like co-pilot as an industry standard.

We haven't seen any examples of AI generating full-fledged games on its own; while we could have ruled on the CSS differently it wasn't something that was replacing an artist as a programmer wouldn't use CSS usually-- we saw it as a programmer using code.

We have looked at the games you've reported, and we do our best to make rulings private so people retain their anonymous reports. We do want to be as lenient as possible in subjective cases with a jam this size. The point is people are making games, and we do want to encourage that. That said, in objectively easy-to-detect cases -- for example, using AI art assets, having NSFW content, or being made before the jam -- leniency isn't as required to make rulings.

We're human and we're doing our best.

We are simply two guys navigating 8k members and 800+ games and we won't be perfect.

But we'll do our best to improve.

after the voting period you can update

reminds me of the days of 90s educational games at school, nostalgic af

RELISH THIS VICTORY

This is what happiness looks like.

I love flan... brb gonna go get some to honor this model.

Pass dah pasta, please!
Great filling out so many details, hope to see what else you make!

But who cut it?

Pizza Hut wishes it looked this good.

The menu said
"Deconstructed Burger"

The shrimp did what?

great amount of detail, can I get a slice?

I'm disturbed by the idea of ice cream that licks back... fantastic work!

Hope to see more! Everyone needs more ramen.

This is great! Hope to see more!

Def my favorite from this jam

NICE CATCH

‎ 

I blocked stuff out yesterday, but I had to scramble for textures, I'd say 4 hours total

A boss fight, too?! Pretty fancy stuff, good work all around.

I'm not picking that up!

Eggshellent toss!

Waiting for the burrito's warmth.
Somehow, it is still frozen and molten.

JAM! JAM! JAM! jam? JAM!

The portal wobble is amazing in this, very clever!

It's the funniest thing, they turned him into a cupcake.

I'll get out of my house if it's got a taco truck. But if it's virtual tacos... do I still go?

AI title art is not allowed, replace or be DQ'd

Nope

yes

nope, not until the voting is done

You can edit the webpage though, just not the game files

Because you'll be able to update your game if you use an outside platform we can't accept it like that.

I'm 70% sure there's a solution to export from Gx though

all contributors (spam voting can be detected)

Public voting ends after a week, but results are hidden until the judges decide awards

That is around an extra 2 weeks

Yup!

Not made for the jam, removed.

But for example, someone was using a different account to ask the exact same question, we know that and it is even easier to monitor malicious activity from that person no matter what account they make now.
