Is AI allowed in GDA October Game Jam: Alien?

No. This jam bans generative AI (applies to assets & narrative (AI for code is allowed)).

“You may also use AI as a tool for generating code. We do ask, however, that you do not use AI to generate assets or narrative for your game, since these aspects will be considered in the judging process.”
