Indie devs are in a tough spot: don't use AI, and watch everyone else ship games x5 faster than you or use it and be damned. I don't think there are many coders left that are not using AI agents for coding right now, it's just that effective (been coding games for 28 years, professionally for 20)

I'd settle for a keeping everyone safe and avoid crunch award, not saying that AI is needed for that, but probably that's why the people at Spryfox are using it, not going to condemn them for trying out ways to make work easier if it's not slop impacting the game's quality or gen ai art

you think the publisher representing dwarf fortress cares how many games their developers churn out a year? they demonstrably dont -some- publishers care, the ones that are happy to churn out trash, and ruin their reputation, and then move on to the next developer they buy and churn etc
