Digital Sun postpones ReVamp public test, citing AI cloning worries
Digital Sun Games has pushed back public playtesting for its next game, ReVamp. The studio will instead restrict early testing to its Discord community. The delay follows concerns that generative AI could be used to clone the game.
Digital Sun Games, known for Moonlighter, has delayed the public playtest of its upcoming title ReVamp. Instead of opening early testing broadly, the studio will limit access to members of its Discord community. The decision follows worries that generative AI tools could be used to clone the game.
The studio's move reflects broader unease in game development over AI-driven imitation. The material notes a recent wave of such cloning, prompting established teams to rethink development plans. For Digital Sun, reducing public exposure may help protect its work from being imitated before release.
This decision may affect players eager to try ReVamp early, who could face narrower access through Discord. It may also influence independent studios weighing public tests against AI cloning risks, potentially making early feedback less open. If such concerns spread, communities and developers could see more controlled testing, which might protect original work but could also slow broader player involvement.
