I honestly don't see the STARGLASS comparison. It looks completely different to me and the gameplay isn't even close to mine. STARTHREAD I can understand more because there are some visual similarities. But the actual game is still completely different. We could have also just ended up using some of the same programs or tools to make our games, which can obviously make certain parts look similar.

And about the comments. I played their games and left comments on them. They played mine too. I don't really see how that proves one person made all three games. This is a game jam. People play each other's submissions and give each other feedback.

What bothers me is going from "these games look a bit similar and they commented on each other" straight to "this person made all three games." That's a pretty big accusation based on basically a guess.

You can think my game looks AI generated or sloppy. That's your opinion and that's fine. But saying I'm secretly behind other submissions when you don't actually know that is something completely different.

I'll reply here since there's no point in scattering this across 3 different channels.

  1. All 3 games in this jam look similar and rely HEAVILY on AI.
  2. All 3 games from these accounts were uploaded within 30 minutes of each other (Starglass: 19:25, The sky blinked: 19:10, Starthread: 19:05).
  3. All 3 accounts participated in this exact jam and in one other specific jam (Micro Jam 063: Prehistoric ($600+ PRIZES))—both of these jams have a cash prize. Those are pretty much the only stuff those accounts posted on.
  4. In that second jam, all 3 accounts also submitted their games around the same time (23:56, 00:23, 00:36).
  5. All accounts commented on each other's games as their very first comment.
  6. All games follow the exact same format/patterns in their game descriptions.

A single coincidence could be brushed off as luck, but participating in the same 2 jams, uploading at the same time in both, leaving comments for each other, using the exact same description format, and having the same overall game vibe is just pure STUPIDITY and a clumsy attempt to flood the game jam with AI slop, ruining the fun for everyone else. Tell me more how you loved to work on those games for 80+ hours....

Bravo...

Some of the things you're pointing out are true, I just don't agree that they prove what you're saying.Uploading close to a deadline isn't particularly strange, especially when you still want some time left in case something breaks. Entering the same prize jams isn't that surprising either, and I used ChatGPT to help with the formatting/writing of my itch page, which can obviously result in similar description structures.The comments don't really prove that either. It's a small jam where people are supposed to play and rate each other's games, so the same people running into each other's submissions isn't unusual.And just to correct the hours thing, I didn't spend 80+ hours on this game. I spent 45.25 hours.I can understand why seeing all of those things together made you suspicious. I just don't think suspicion is the same thing as knowing that one person made all three games, and I don't think it's fair to present that assumption as a fact.I'm not really interested in turning the comment section into a detective argument beyond that.
