AI game clones are making indie developers afraid to show their work

What happened: Alliance Arts delayed the public demo for its game Drunken Goddess Reflex, which had been set to launch with Steam Next Fest, citing concern that AI or other tools could quickly imitate the demo's presentation and gameplay. Why it matters: The studio said such imitations could be released before its own launch, and the report describes AI coding tools making cloning efficient enough that many developers are now cautious about sharing early work widely. Key numbers: No specific figures were provided in the content.
