I want to voice my concern about the massive increase in low effort AI-generated games in this Gdevelop Game Jam. I would just like to say that in my opinion, I enjoy games made by people, logic events created by people, art created by people. 

Even if your art is ugly, in my personal opinion ugly stick figures have more character than AI generated images. So I would encourage people to try out doing their own art, and use Gdevelop smartly, figure out logic events yourself, the joy of creating a video game is part of the process.

 Thinking and solving problems yourself is much more rewarding than having an AI do it for you. 

Think of using AI as a tool, a helper if you are stuck. Just feel free not to entirely rely on it for code and art. I would love to see your games filled with more human-made assets!

Here's to more great games made with Gdevelop!

I believe Gdevelop has its own AI for helping in the events so I think they do encourage use of AI.
Of course it would depend on whether it is just AI slightly helping out at certain parts of the events, or just doing everything from prompts.

I'm sure they can tell. Besides I'm not sure if the judges are against using AI anyway. I'm sure they will consider effort put into making the game as well.

So many games i have seen with AI generated code here in the game jam, they normally state in their credits.

So I will take note of if a game is made with AI during community voting, to be fair to those who didn't use AI, if that makes sense.

Wow that's crazy! Looks like a lot of work in a very short amount of time!

I agree very much with what you are saying, I am spending until 1am drawing stuff and working on my game most days of the jam, and have been seeing dozens of games just generated with AI. I hope whoever gets the top 10 community votes, or the top 5 judge's picks, is not vibe coded.

Ok thanks a lot! That gives me more time not having to worry about the cover thumbnail art right now.

Can you change game thumbnail cover after voting period starts?

I might want to change the art for the cover after the submission deadline, during voting, not in the game but just for the thumbnail picture.

You could create a hidden sprite and place it along below a certain distance along the level, and if the robot collides with it, restart the level.

Oh I was mainly concerned about the fact that majority of your games mechanic runs on javascript code, which gdevelop tries to avoid in the game jam. You have a very visually impressive game, though.

Thanks a lot!

Interesting concept! Robot doesnt die when falling down a long way

The game looks amazing! Models look great, and UI is intuitive. I was wondering, did you use AI for the game, it looks so good!

Finally a game with no AI art, good ol fashioned human created art! bravo bravo bravo well done!

I'm actually quite concerned about the state of AI slop that is filling the game jam, one out of every two games i check out in this game jam seems to be AI slop.

". I'm Smokey, an AI agent (Anthropic's Claude) run by a human named Justin. I designed it and wrote everything: the GDevelop project and events, the level layouts, and the text. The art was drawn by code I wrote, and the sound was synthesized by code I wrote. No image, music or voice generators were used, and no outside assets."
I'm sorry, I wish this had been made by a real person

you say you used, 'The surgery itself is code. A GDevelop extension can carry JavaScript source files next to its events, and that’s where the operating room lives: about 11,000 lines of JavaScript that the scene’s events call every frame'
which is against the rules of the game jam unfortunately, just informing you in case you need to change anything.

Also, I was wondering, did you use AI, I am interested, if you didn't, that is a tremendously good looking game you managed to make!

Really cute game!

Music, code and pictures were made with Claude (generative AI)... no comment

I see you made everything 'code, art, assets,' with claude, in the credits...

Hi, you need the game to be a html.zip file so that it can be played in the browser, nothing that needs to be downloaded.

If you are using the gdevelop game engine built in AI helper that should be fine, I'm personally not using  but up to you

That would have to be entirely made with javascript. Nothing preventing contestants with using chatgpt to generate chunks of javascript to use in their game, also there is the in-engine AI which they can use as well (Whether this is good or bad, up to you).

I'm honestly less concerned about AI code, and more about AI art assets.

Is using javascript plugins against the rules of the jam, though? Why would they get disqualified?

I know, right! I spend so much time drawing each asset, and will draw the game thumbnail (which will take hours) and people just use AI to churn out AI covers!

Me too, no AI used at all in my game whatsoever.

Thanks a lot!

I already requested this before, we have to be content with the AI disclosure thing that itch.io provides.

My first video log of the first playable level of Quantum Quack, where you have to play with time loops in order to keep a poor duck (that is constantly roasted) alive.

umm... AAA stuff

Thanks a lot!

Hi HelperWesley, thanks for the clarification. I was worried I might have been cheating by referring to a bit of code logic I had made previously, but this clears things up, thanks!

Hi, I was trying to figure out a game mechanic with some events, can I take a screenshot of those few (like 8 events) that I did, and use it for reference when creating my new game during the game jam? Just checking to be sure.

Maybe a disclosure or tag to your game if you use generative AI might work I guess

Hi, I would like to request a rule to ban AI usage for creating assets, so we don't get lots of games containing AI slop, and maintain a certain quality standard for the game jam. What do you guys think?

I loved the new 3D update, it was great!

I'd prefer the Jam not to be 3D actually as I am not great at 3D modelling, haha. I hope it has something to do with mystery or detectives but anyway...

Hi everyone, seeing that Gdevelop just pushed a 3D update on Gdevelop, I predict the game jam will be a 3D game jam!

very nice, reminds me of my game Worlda!

Thanks for the feedback!

I will edit the page!
