Yes, the rules are unavailable (the website is having a lot of issues :\/). I found this page on the topic of AI: https:\/\/ludumdare.com\/resources\/questions\/can-i-use-ai\/\n\nUltimately, it comes down to individual judgment. So it's complicated ^^.\n\nFrom my point of view, you either have to be transparent about the graphics you've created so that people can rate what you've done, or not put yourself in the graphics category.\n\nSome people do everything from start to finish during the game jam and aim for the graphics category in the rankings because it's their specialty. I think it casts a shadow on them if they're compared to work done by AI.\n\nI think the main goal isn't to win, but to participate and maybe be featured in a category. It's always nice to see the top pages of each category especially the graphic one to discover new artists and styles.\n\nThere is this sentence at the end of the page i shared: \"That said we still want to celebrate artists, which is why we ask those using AI tools to opt-out of artistic categories.\" Which sums up my point of view well.\n\nSorry for the long post, I hope it helps ^^.

Every cop you illuminate confiscates a crate from the supply stash. Lose all 3 crates and the game ends very badly\n- The **lamp burns out** over time \u2014 the beam narrows and flickers. Keep an eye on it\n- Save **10 boats** to win\n\n---\n\n## The Story\n\nYoung Robert takes the night shift at a remote lighthouse run by grizzled old sailor Willem. What looks like a simple job quickly turns into cartel logistics: guiding suspicious boats to shore, keeping the beam away from police patrols, and using the lighthouse light to fend off very angry mermaids and an increasingly pissed kraken.\n\nBetween the cynical old wolf and the cocky young pup, the real storm isn\u2019t the weather \u2014 it\u2019s trying not to get everyone arrested (or eaten).\n\n\n\n---\n\n## Authors\n\n- **@idbieon-odri** \u2014 concept art\n- **@r1m** \u2014 concept art\n- **@linaaa** \u2014 concept art\n- **@bobanko** \u2014 programming, game design\n- **@nuclme** \u2014 programming, game design\n- **@stepastepa** \u2014 game design\n\n**Music:** suno.com | **Sounds:** pixabay.com, libsounds.com  \n**Tech:** PixiJS, Firebase, Vanilla JS\n","title":"TWILIGHTHOUSE","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/431501+431502+431503+431504+431505+431506+431507+431508+431509+431510+431511+431512+431513+431514+431515+431516+431517+431518+431519+431520+431521+431522+431523+431524+431525+431526+431527+431528+431529+431530+431531+431532+431533+431534+431535+431536+431537+431538+431539+431540+431541+431542+431543+431544+431545+431546+431547+431548+431549+431550+431551+431552+431553+431554+431555+431556+431557+431558+431559+431560+431561+431562+431563+431564+431565+431566+431567+431568+431569+431570+431571+431572+431573+431574+431575+431576+431577+431578+431579+431580+431581+431582+431583+431584+431585+431586+431587+431588+431589+431590+431591+431592+431593+431594+431595+431596+431597+431598+431599+431600+431601+431602+431603+431604+431605+431606+431607+431608+431609+431610+431611+431612+431613+431614+431615+431616+431617+431618+431619+431620+431621+431622+431623+431624+431625+431626+431627+431628+431629+431630+431631+431632+431633+431634+431635+431636+431637+431638+431639+431640+431641+431642+431643+431644+431645+431646+431647+431648+431649+431650+431651+431652+431653+431654+431655+431656+431657+431658+431659+431660+431661+431662+431663+431664+431665+431666+431667+431668+431669+431670+431671+431672+431673+431674+431675+431676+431677+431678+431679+431680+431681+431682+431683+431684+431685+431686+431687+431688+431689+431690+431691+431692+431693+431694+431695+431696+431697+431698+431699+431700+431701+431702+431703+431704+431705+431706+431707+431708+431709+431710+431711+431712+431713+431714+431715+431716+431717+431718+431719+431720+431721+431722+431723+431724+431725+431726+431727+431728+431729+431730+431731+431732+431733+431734+431735+431736+431737+431738+431739+431740+431741+431742+431743+431744+431745+431746+431747+431748+431749+431750+431751+431752+431753+431754+431755+431756+431757+431758+431759+431760+431761+431762+431763+431764+431765+431766+431767+431768+431769+431770+431771+431772+431773+431774+431775+431776+431777+431778+431779+431780+431781+431782+431783+431784+431785+431786+431787+431788+431789+431790+431791+431792+431793+431794+431795+431796+431797+431798+431799+431800+431801+431802+431803+431804+431805+431806+431807+431808+431809+431810+431811+431812+431813+431814+431815+431816+431817+431818+431819+431820+431821+431822+431823+431824+431825+431826+431827+431828+431829+431830+431831+431832+431833+431834+431835+431836+431837+431838+431839+431840+431841+431842+431843+431844+431845+431846+431847+431848+431849+431850+431851+431852+431853+431854+431855+431856+431857+431858+431859+431860+431861+431862+431863+431864+431865+431866+431867+431868+431869+431870+431871+431872+431873+431874+431875+431876+431877+431878+431879+431880+431881+431882+431883+431884+431885+431886+431887+431888+431889+431890+431891+431892+431893+431894+431895+431896+431897+431898+431899+431900+431901+431902+431903+431904+431905+431906+431907+431908+431909+431910+431911+431912+431913+431914+431915+431916+431917+431918+431919+431920+431921+431922+431923+431924+431925+431926+431927+431928+431929+431930+431931+431932+431933+431934+431935+431936+431937+431938+431939+431940+431941+431942+431943+431944+431945+431946+431947+431948+431949+431950+431951+431952+431953+431954+431955+431956+431957+431958+431959+431960+431961+431962+431963+431964+431965+431966+431967+431968+431969+431970+431971+431972+431973+431974+431975+431976+431977+431978+431979+431980+431981+431982+431983+431984+431985+431986+431987+431988+431989+431990+431991+431992+431993+431994+431995+431996+431997+431998+431999+432000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/d8\/d8d012ff7c63566789251c446be659808039d8fe092d48fb21681bc99b8dcc0e","record":"shard-1\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/38620d9503efa42db5164f2d04c9ec7930ff933948d2b2af646ae19054efa416.json","sha256":"d8d012ff7c63566789251c446be659808039d8fe092d48fb21681bc99b8dcc0e","source":"https","stored_at":1784022564}}
