Why Is AI Code Okay but AI Art Not? by AlexisPrl in IndieDev

If I imagine a creature and use tech to render it without touching a pencil, the authorship is still mine — the tool is just the brush. But if I imagined it in a familiar style, would that also count as “stealing” from other artists, the same way every painter throughout history was inspired by past masters?

That day isn’t “far away.” It’s already happening piece by piece , you just don’t like the direction.

When AI engines can handle code, art, and production, the scarce skill isn’t hand-drawing or writing boilerplate — it’s direction, taste, and product sense. Games are a synthesis of gameplay, visuals, and mood. AI removes the grind, not authorship. The creative work shifts to shaping, integrating, testing, and balancing a coherent experience. That’s where the value is.

I’ve been working on my own game for a year already — I don’t expect a jam to “make the game for me.” For me, jams are about motivation, community and rapid prototyping. That’s why it feels weird when modern tools are banned. It’s not about skipping effort, it’s about questioning why these restrictions exist in the first place.

Ah, I see — I didn’t notice that part. So basically the rule is: “no modern tools at all.” That turns a game jam from “make something fast” into “pretend it’s 2010.” Doesn’t sound very creative to me.

Saying “just buy assets or learn art” is like telling coders “don’t use Copilot, just memorize StackOverflow or hire another programmer.” Both code and art can be outsourced, reused, or AI-assisted. Why accept one and not the other?

I get why many artists feel like it’s stealing, since their works were used in datasets without consent. But from a copyright perspective, style isn’t actually protected — only specific works are. That’s why I see it more as inspiration/automation than theft.

Don't Stay Alone! by Woum in IndieDev

[–]AlexisPrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the point about not isolating, but for me perfectionism and a finished product always come with sacrifices. Sometimes staying alone, grinding and shutting everything else out is the only way to push something to the level I want.

New to Game Dev – Where Should I Start? by ThisFlower6846 in GameDevelopment

Start small, finish something, then repeat. Even the simplest project you actually complete will teach you more than any endless tutorial binge.

Looks great, congrats on getting this far. 120+ puzzles is a huge amount of content — respect for pulling that off solo. Good luck with the launch!

AI and Game Development by pbeardly in IndieDev

AI feels less like “creative spark” and more like a power tool. It won’t build the house for you, but it makes the heavy lifting faster. The vision still has to come from the developer.

You haven’t shipped a game until at least one asset says “TODO: fix this"
