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.
