@gamesdotgg: Australia's national school game-dev contest is ending, and generative AI is the reason. Organisers say it's now too hard to judge what students made themselves. #gamedev #ai #indiegames #australia #gamingnews

It’s the equivalent of entering a microwave dinner into a cooking contest, for everyone not getting it

Every developer uses AI now. So judge what they put together because it should be amazing.

Is it a tool if it does everything for you?

start doing them in-person on controlled devices that don’t have AI tools just like how professional gaming leagues handle things

you can tell when someone uses AI to make a game without knowing how to do it normally. it takes design, story, mechanics, etc. that have to be cohesive

AI doing the work for you is no different than googling an answer and pretending you knew the answer all along lmao

This is a game contest, you guys know that right? In contests you gotta make your own thing and not get help from an outside source. You also need to know what you're doing. If you ask AI to make a whole game based on a prompt, then you get asked about why you coded something a certain way are you gonna be able to answer it? or are you just gonna say "idk I had AI do it for me" because you're gonna get asked why you went a certain direction and you're gonna have to say why.

AI is completely unnecessary for game development and should not be used. Any code that could be streamlined by it could likely also be found in a public library, thats the whole point of them. The only difference is the lack of integrity and drive that real developers have. Do better

AI should not be made for creative projects, it kills creativity. Use AI to help with something certain, like code something or make excel formula or something

Anyone who's ever tried to learn how to make games knows you can't just jump over understanding HOW it works and make something else do it for you. All your games will be one note, lackluster, unappealing garbage and you won't actually be able to innovate and make what you want to see beyond a shallow depth.

a lot of people are forgetting that ai can't make anything by itself. it steals from other places.

The games still won’t be of the same quality between the students even if they use ai those who are better coders and more creative will still make better games , if it’s a contest to see who’s the better pure coder I can see why there’s an issue but if it’s just to see who makes the best game, I don’t

Never heard of this contest but man.. this is so sad. Ah well.. on top of all the other sad and disappointing stuff the modern world has thrown at me.

I mean, if it's AIslop surely the game will be garbage.
