@picklepeeete@Grummz No, I dont think so. Once Jam is over you are free to continue developing the game you made. I am trying to find out if Epic will provide everyone credits/tokens. I hope so
I've been enjoying testing out games during Steam Next Fest. That being said, indie devs, stop using AI.
I skipped every demo that used AI. The joy of indie gaming to me is that a team of people WANTED to make a game. Using AI art just makes it feel like a cheap money grab.
@MrFredCharles The demo got overhauled on visuals and some UI stuff, etc. Also combat stuff, but it is the same core demo that was launched in the summer. The first dungeon area of the game.
@georgebsocial 100% Also, please tell a story from developing Duke 3D related to this. Where you guys in a bubble in the office, with not a lot of outside "interference" or were you constantly going to trade shows, etc. to see what everyone else was doing?
@WonderedOff@i2_Games I thought Personal Calendar was supposed to address this. Instead of searching and filtering, Steam knows what you are playing and suggests game, although it might suggest slop so who knows.
@AIandDesign@valvesoftware Im also seeing games that use an AI generated video showcasing the game and then actual gameplay doesnt come close to matching it. I would imagine it is required to note that the video is "not actual gameplay" but maybe Steam doesnt require this, but that could go a long way.
@cybereality Vids, etc. are a real time sink I know, but I love getting info from vets on what they did in the past, and especially with how you are leveraging new AI tools. I think a big gap with newer game devs is where to use tooling vs when to jump in and manually refine/build.
