Hi! I saw this jam when i was browsing and it sounds like fun.

Will a discord launch for it soo that pepole can find eachoter for making teams?

Also i looked through the rules and i didnt see a no ai policy listed anywhere, Does this mean the jam allows ai for art, music, animation, code etc? Iam a artist who makes things from scratch and i feel that its not fair if pepole can take those kinds of shortcuts for the jam and for other reasons like it being stolen work, not made from scratch etc.

Hope youre all doing well!

So I'm not banning AI, because it's impossible to use AI to make a SNES game right now.

For the Discord, here it is:

While I don't think significant code produced by any popular LLM is realistically going to work without problems on the SNES, unfortunately I think it is still possible for someone to take a generative AI-branded program trained on copyrighted datasets they don't own to make some graphics and audio samples, and then scale it down themselves and convert the result into a format a SNES can understand before putting it in the ROM.

I'm sure this is possible, because pre-rendered genAI images are already not uncommon among other retro console dev spaces, especially in those targeting systems like the NES and Mega Drive.
