Just checking, but, did you create all the assets yourself?
The title screen background looks like it may have been AI-generated, as it has a lot of the obvious tells: half-pixels/mixels, inconsistent lighting, weird outline artifacts and so on. Remember that using AI-generated assets of any kind is against the rules of the IGU Spring Jam.
I am going to need proof that you either made those assets, or that they're third-party assets that aren't AI-generated.
It's the only thing generated by AI. I currently work as a web developer, I'm studying game development, I'm not a graphic designer, and I made the game myself. Obviously, I don't have time to draw a background or the rest of the assets.
The assets are from https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords except for the treasure chest (https://fossilbound.itch.io/animated-treasure-chest), and the repairer which I made myself.
Disqualify me if you want, I don't mind, it's a required class assignment. Cheers!
First of all, why did you submit a game that has AI-generated assets in a game jam where that isn't allowed? And, secondly, why did you only admit to it when confronted? Were you trying to pull a fast one? Were you hoping that I wouldn't notice?
Secondly, you know that you could have just used third-party assets for the background too, right?
Also, I'm going to require proof that you made the repairer asset yourself, considering that you've lied to me by omission before.
Have you finished editing the comment?
I haven't denied once that it was AI, and I've even given you the reasons.
I don't need your approval for anything; you're the one who needs to accept that AI exists and that it's a very useful tool. I'm sorry for whatever it did to you, but you're not going to take it out on me.
Good night, friend!
There is no need to be this antagonistic. Also, whether or not I "accept" that AI exists or not is irrelevant, it is against the rules of the game jam, and you agreed to follow the rules of the game jam when you submitted your game.
Also, you only admitted to using AI when I brought it up, and you did not credit the other third-party asset creators on the game page, which is also against the game jam rules. The rules state very clearly that you are required to credit any and all third-party asset creators on the game page, and you didn't.
Please prove to me that you created the repairer asset yourself.
This entry is disqualified from the IGU Spring Jam for use of AI-generated assets, as well as refusing to credit third party asset creators on the game jam page. Furthermore, you are blacklisted from future jams for refusing to cooperate when asked to provide proof that you made the repairer asset yourself.
