Digital Sun, the Spanish indie studio behind Moonlighter and Cataclismo, has postponed a planned Steam playtest for its upcoming hybrid project ReVamp, which it describes as a "Tower Defensevania". The studio says it is worried that AI-assisted copycats could clone the game's concept before it launches, so it is holding back public testing until it can better protect the idea. The move has reignited debate among developers about sharing early builds in the age of generative AI.
Why now: Concerns that generative AI makes it easy to clone original game concepts have struck a nerve with developers and players.
