• sorting thru bot slop
  • bot made? github repos, how to identify and not include in a roundup, I don’t have the time to verify each repos code does what it says...
  • For example these two have just enough surface level details changed to waste my time but are based on some template i guess
  • https://github.com/amadeuzoi/dfgan
  • https://github.com/libkmge/LLVM
  • Copied like for like repos, for example the go2hx repos are obv easy to identify but litter the search results

What is [genai] for? 👀

For the comment "[...] the backgrounds are from chatgpt".

In general, I prefer to be informed if generative ai is used for something, so I appreciate that you did. 👍

Please let me know if I've misunderstood.

[kLabz]

Right.

Well, makes it sound like it's a trash ai game like the others, while it's only about some placeholder images that'll be replaced once I get a bit of budget to pay an actual artist 😅 Guess I'd rather have it not included than be labelled like that (which I do understand why) in the eyes of people discovering the game.

makes it sound like it's a trash ai game like the others

That was not my intention, I'm pretty terse with the roundups, so by labelling it [genai] was the simplest option to me at the time.

How about this:

• Alchimix is an "easy to play, hard to master" tetris-like puzzle game, including world exploration where "each region reveals new rules, challenges, and lore". Now with 71 levels in Briswen Island and leaderboards. Created by Rudy Ges.

  • Made with Heaps, Hide, LDtk, graphics created with Aseprite, paid itch.io assets & backgrounds generated with chatgpt.

Guess I'd rather have it not included than be labelled like that (which I do understand why) in the eyes of people discovering the game.

Well I hope we can include it somehow, but that decision is down to you.

When I originally added your game to this issue, I also noted down in my personal todo list, "how will I in the future label "things" that contain or use generative ai, assets etc" as something that needs looked into.
