King Dies Rich hits PC, Mac and Linux on Thu Nov 12 & we’re probably NOT going to play it…
It’s a pixel-art siege roguelite, where you defend your throne from undead hordes without leaving your seat, then spend the loot on permanent kingdom upgrades. Which sounds super fun! BUT it’s probably an AI clone of @thecodeotter’s very cool looking game, Crown Me Again.
We’re not opposed to the use of AI in game dev, except for when it’s used to steal intellectual property.
We recommend following @thecodeotter and his progress on Crown Me Again. You should also check out the video where he addresses the cloning of his game. We’ll link it in the comments. Good luck Code Otter! Crown Me Again looks AWESOME.

itch now lets you hide AI-made games in search results too
Tick "No AI" and you only see games where the dev has declared no generative AI was used. Also filter by AI graphics, audio, text or code
Should Steam add a filter like this next?

Today in AI games news, a small indie game developer (@thecodeotter) has his indie game set to release Q1 2027 -- a copycat frontran the game and its advertising, and went viral with thousands of likes!
Show the developer some love, and wishlist the real game on steam.

there's a guy going around saying he made the best incremental game and getting thousands of likes, and it's literally like a 1:1 copy of an upcoming game by @thecodeotter

An indie developer's game was cloned and marketed with AI right after setting up his Steam page. I've been following @thecodeotter for a while on YouTube and was shocked to see this happen. Please check out his game rather than the AI clone. Links in reply.

Der Entwickler von Crown Me Again äußerte Bedenken, nachdem das ähnlich konzipierte Spiel King Dies Rich aufgetaucht war.

Please don't harass nor send hate to anyone! Just that if you want to support the creator who spends months for a game that may be cloned "coincidentally", please look up and wishlist "Crown Me Again" by @thecodeotter

Now people steal someone else’s hard work using AI. This is not the bright future I anticipated.
Guys, can you please REPOST this:
@ddementey has cloned my game "Crown Me Again".
The original is NOT "King Dies Rich"! The original HAND-MADE Game is "Crown Me Again"!
It's not a nice move from my side to say it like this. But its also not a nice move to clone games.
Thank you!
Replying to @yomgikek @ddementey
Worse, the story is that they’re making a clone of Crown Me Again by @thecodeotter

Small marketing habit that compounds:
Post one GIF of your game every week.
Not a trailer. Not an announcement. Just 5 seconds of something moving.
What's the last GIF you posted?
