Yeah - this person is putting out a long and highly "researched" article every day or so, with super LLM'd titles and images. Sucks for people like us who put time and effort into teaching properly!

Just a heads up: not sure if you're aware or not but this is all AI generated.

If you released a game AT ALL, you are a massive winner. Congratulations, you've done something incredible. Also: remember that the jam is MASSIVE. Even getting a ranking of #1000 puts you in the top 10% of games!

Or it's just game developers excited to see an open source engine become bigger than a corpo program that has disrespected its users and customers?

The chart only covers jam games - it doesn’t try to extrapolate to any other type of game release

(Boring extra details: data is based on a self report questionnaire. Approximately 72 submitted games didn't answer. Approximately 100 games were disqualified for rule breaking and their data wasn't used)

Hi! That's not the only factor behind this rule. There's also enforceability (much easier to detect AI art than code). And how the community at large uses AI (coders are more likely to use it than artists)

Game Maker's Toolkit @gamemakerstoolkit.com · 26/07/2026

It's not a competition, obviously - but it's absolutely bananas that GMTK Game Jam 2026 actually received more submissions than this year's Global Game Jam. That makes GMTK the biggest game jam in existence. (Maybe GGJ allowing AI-generated submissions put some devs off... who knows?)

Time extend! To account for issues with late submissions, the jam has received an extra 1 hour added to the original submission time. This is not time for you to add extra features or bugfix. This is to help those who had slow builds or issues with submitting to itch get their games in!

With just 8 hours to go, I've added a cute interactive checklist to the jam page, so you can make sure you've done everything you need to do to get your game properly submitted! itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam...

Checklist with the text "Have you...

Uploaded your game to itch.io?
Changed the page from private to public?
Confirmed it has also been submitted to this jam?
Played it all the way through to the end?
Tested it on a second computer?
Credited all third-party assets?
Added any team members as contributors?"

I don’t think it’s even possible to mimic the AI style. There’s something deeply inhuman about it. Utterly soulless to the point a soul cannot copy it.

Also a friendly reminder that we do NOT allow the use of generative AI for art and audio assets. And that includes your itch․io thumbnail. Don't worry, we'll know. Because it looks like complete shit.

It’s seeing it as an input device but no key commands going through. Unity says keyboard is technically not supported on iOS but I’m sure it’s possible! docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com...

Anyone made a Unity game for iOS that supports a physical keyboard (like the Magic Keyboard)? If so, what magical spell did you cast to make it work
