Hi! I’d like to confirm whether a Battle Lab version of my existing game would qualify for Lewdie Jam 4 before I submit anything.
Blade Baes is an unfinished physics arena roguelike currently in closed alpha. It existed before the jam, and I would disclose all significant pre-jam work.
Blade Baes: Battle Lab is a separate public testing build focused only on the core 1v1 and free-for-all combat. It is not the full roguelike. It retains the game’s horny premise, flirtatious writing, innuendo, adult character framing, and suggestive ability names, but contains no nudity or sexually explicit scenes. All characters are adults.
Battle Lab removes the main alpha’s generated character artwork, UI artwork, item artwork, visual effects, and voice-over. Its visuals are drawn at runtime using code and geometric primitives.
However, AI-assisted coding and development tooling have been used on the broader project, and some retained prototype audio may also involve AI assistance.
Could you please clarify:
- Does the rule prohibiting “the output of AI generators anywhere” include AI-assisted or AI-generated code included in the build?
- Would AI-assisted prototype music or sound also disqualify the entry, even if removed or replaced before submission?
- Is an unfinished pre-existing project eligible when the earlier work is fully declared and the Battle Lab version receives meaningful work during the jam?
I don’t want to stretch the rules or submit unless you’re comfortable that it qualifies. Thank you!
