Dear gaming community,

This is a call for you, to submit your indie games, that are original, hand crafted, focusing on GAMES WITHOUT AI.

Your game will be excluded if you use AI music, voice and art.

I understand that some people would like a detailed written rulebook covering everything. That’s just not possible. We don’t have the time to do that.

We will never be able to know for sure whether code was generated by AI, but that doesn’t mean we allow it. If a developer openly admits it and says so publicly, their submission will not be accepted. But we simply can’t go further than that in terms of investigation.

That’s also why the voting is public and ongoing. So if you find any public information showing that AI was used, share it there, in discord.

You can also see the developer proof submitted in discord, in multiple areas from development.

The code is protected by law, as a intellectual propriety, they can't share it publicly.

If you have any suggestions for more tools to verify the integrity of no ai usage, along with the developer proof of no ai usage , please let me know. I am open for any feedback, and ideas. But don't assume something, if i didn't write it.

I don't exclude any AI usage in all areas. I just can't put a rule,for this event, if i don't have the tools to verify the integrity. But i sustain the idea of 0 AI usage, in game development.

If, during the festival, we discover that a game uses AI-generated content, or if a studio publicly boasts about having managed to bypass the organizers’ checks while still using AI, the game should be removed and the studio permanently banned from future editions of the event.

THIS IS A COMMUNITY VOTED EVENT, AND PROOF OF SUBMISSION, FROM GAME DEVELOPERS. I am not the one and only who will chose any game as selected.

No matter , if your game it is on every milestones, unreleased, not announced, announced, early access , released, PC or consoles. You can entry !
