Is it okay to use AI to make a game?

Whether it is okay to use AI to make a game is mostly a question of how you use it and how honest you are about it, not a hard yes or no. Plenty of creators use AI to brainstorm, draft text, prototype code, or generate placeholder assets, and treat it as a tool like any other. Concerns come up around originality (leaning on AI so heavily the work loses your voice), disclosure (being upfront when AI made significant assets, which some communities and storefronts expect), and craft (AI output usually needs real editing to be good). Using it to copy a specific artist or author is where most people draw the line. Used as an assistant on your own ideas, with your judgment on top, it is widely accepted. A structured prompt like the AI Companion keeps the story yours.
