The Indie Game Awards have recently wrapped up on YouTube, and initially awarded the excellent Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with Game of the Year. That win did not last long, as the award was later rescinded after the organization cited the game’s use of generative AI during development.
It was later revealed that the studio behind Expedition 33, Sandfall Interactive, had used “AI, but not much,” according to the game’s producer.
