Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.
The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.
IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.
I’m not a game dev, so I can’t really answer your question. My comment was only pointing out that this might discourage other studios from disclosing their use of AI during development.
