Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.
The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.
IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.
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?
