AI Use
BRGD is, first and foremost, an educational club. We encourage different modes of learning, and we believe in ethical labour and sourcing, as well as accountability of student work.
These policies cover generative visual and language learning models such as Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Dall-E, Sora, ChatGPT, Copilot, DeepSeek, Gemini, etc.
These policies are universal. They are non-negotiable for BRGD-sponsored games.
Art, Sound, and Writing
Section titled “Art, Sound, and Writing”You are NOT allowed to use any of these programs in your work for BRGD in any stage of the game production. We stand by this practice because:
- There are no means of ethical sourcing/means of verifying the sourcing of what is outputted by the AI; this issue is the same for visual art, sound, and writing.
- BRGD is a collaborative learning space. The goal is practice, not perfection. We believe AI does not help you learn the merit of the full creative process.
Programming
Section titled “Programming”We understand the use of AI in programming is unavoidable, but the goal of BRGD is to serve as a productive and educational space.
- You should understand every line of code you write, whether the code is written by you or an AI model.
- You are responsible for every line of code you commit to the game project. Should your code break, you are responsible for fixing the error, whether the code is written by you or an AI model.
Game Design
Section titled “Game Design”The purpose of game design learning at BRGD is for students to understand, apply, and playtest different game mechanics.
- AI models should not be used to generate level design.
- You should not design a game that fundamentally relies on a pre-existing external AI agent.
- Additionally, making your own AI models is out of the scope of possibilities within a semester of BRGD, and outside the learning goals of the organization. We are committed to making more focused and polished games of a smaller scope.
