If you’re sending emails related to the development of the game you’re developing to other people developing that same game, you’re NOT developing the game? What kind of bullshit mental gymnastics is this?
Sending Emails related to development is still not development itself.
If youre washing your gymnastic dress, it’s not considered doing gymnastics. You are even allowed to wash them while high. Still wouldn’t get you disqualified from the Contest, just when you’re actually high while doing gymnastics.
Bad analogy. Communication is part of team development. If you’re pitching ideas, redefining requirements or requesting additional assets, you’re developing the game…
You’re clearly avoiding the spirit of what’s being said here, but I don’t mind biting the bullet anyway: Coworkers should not be using AI in their emails, either. Main reason being it’s obnoxious and makes you look illiterate.
It’s a weird gray area. Nobody really knows where the limit is. The current consensus is that for a fact the “AI” can’t own a copyright to anything.
How smart can an autocomplete be before it takes away your copyright? Does using snippets count? How smart can the snippet engine be at filling the template?
If I ask AI how to solve something but write the exact same code myself, is it mine?
It If I grab code from stack overflow, does it make it mine?
Theyre not limiting their tools, they’re limiting some awards they could win by doing the art themselves.
No no. The rules didn’t say “art” it was ALL AI use for the whole duration of the project. Planning, emails, research everything.
Not a single drop of AI is allowed.
I’m pretty sure sending Emails isnt considered game development.
That Argument is moot though, because they were in fact banned for using AI Art, not some internal spreadsheet or Emails they sent.
This time yes. But the rule ban any and all AI use during development. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the final product or not.

You arent developing a game when you sennd Emails to someone. Same as you’re not a developer when you do the finances.
Thats part of the company that arent involved in game development.
Your argument is equal to me claiming piblishers are developers.
They might want to make it more clear for the purposefully ignorant people though.

What about AI based autocomplete in an IDE, would that disqualify a game from this specific award?
Would you consider it your own code or Code that was generated by AI?

This is a “no.” If you can’t just say yes, that’s a no, buddy.
You know, colleges figured this one out: it’s called “plagiarism.”
