An indie developer is promoting a word puzzle game with the pitch "Gimme a word, don't use AI", positioning it alongside games like Wordle and classic quiz formats. The messaging emphasizes hand-made, human-created game design and pixel art, tapping into ongoing debate among players and developers about the use of generative AI in videogames.

Why now: Gamers and developers are currently debating AI-generated content in games, making a proudly AI-free indie word game resonate.
