Dear developers and moderators,

We are writing to you with respect and a request for understanding.

Our game - Murder Mystery on s&box - currently has an AI-generated label attached to it. We want to be completely honest with you.

We used AI only for the game's thumbnail (header image) at the very early stage of development. This was a temporary solution because we were a small team with no artist at that moment.

Since then, we have corrected this mistake. We have created a completely original thumbnail made by our own team without any AI. We are attaching proof (screenshots, original files, and the old vs new thumbnail) to show you the change.

We sincerely apologize for using AI for that image. It was never our intention to deceive anyone. We understand now that it was wrong, and we have learned from this experience.

We kindly ask you to review our case and remove the AI label from Murder Mystery. We are committed to following the rules and being transparent from now on.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

With respect,

Xop3k Team

Yea I think they should remove it.

and replace it with coded with AI instead because it looks like it has been fully codded with AI with no effort with UI

All screenshots were taken in-game and cropped in Photoshop; I’ve included the references I previously sent to the artist.

The image looks like 3D render, it doesn't look like hand drawn picture, did the artist had some extra detailed terry model that we don't have access to? Shapes on crown deform into some AI mess. Can we see process of making this character art?

oh my god... the hand is taken from a completely different picture on the internet, and what you showed in the screenshot is a reference picture in a different resolution... I can't stand it, is it that hard to think with your head?

erm sorry, but I looked at it closer and it was obviously made by AI. The small details are pointless and completely broken. This wasn't human handiwork. I understand if you paid someone to do this work but this how it is

Without any AI is clearly just a lie as there's various different hiccups where you can see it's made shit up (for lack of a better phrase) to trim out stuff like your in-game name for example, chevrons turning intro a swirly messy band, any artist that claims they made that part of this work is wrong.

You guys can recreate the poses in-game even with a NPC model and green screen background to make this work for you, it might add 15 mins to your workflow but you're so close yet so far harping on about zero AI use.

Just do the work to remove the generated artwork and you're good imo.

And we're back to the AI topic again :)

Guys, it's not about AI - it's about how professionally you approach making your content. All those mistakes upper could've been fixed manually, nobody would've said anything and honestly the AI tag probably wouldn't even be there on your game.

OKAY THIS ALREADY SOUNDS LIKE I'M TELLING YOU TO LIE - but you're missing the point, it's about using the tool professionally.

Here's the logic: AI = FAST SHITTY RESULT
No AI = MID RESULT

And I'm telling you - okay, use AI but first spend 1000 hours learning, get good at spotting the flaws, learn to tell the difference between amateur ''hand work'' and professional ''hand work'' - then your stuff will look = HIGHT QUALITY RESULT even with AI helping out.

On top of that, AI becomes nothing more than a tool helping you realize YOUR ideas exactly how you wanna see them - not how the AI decided to generate them :)

Big studios have been using AI in games forever and it doesn't bother anyone - as the team's priority is creative vision and quality, not speed and money!

Come on guys, let's all vibe together and build the platform up, not trash on tools left and right 😁

Subjective take The King btw looks super memorable XD

dunno about the first guy but the second one is clearly russian that barely uses english to communicate. Seems like he is not only using ai for its generative art but also for “please chat gpt create formal complaint” type of stuff. Hope this helps.

Yo, bro 👍

I'm not a native English speaker.

So before I send a message I write it manually in my language and translate it with Claude, then I carefully re-read it and make manual edits to make sure my text matches the context and my slang feeling. That way I learn English + I save you guys from the pain of reading my text with mistakes XD

You can be sure about that :) 

Here's my text written in my native language manually - go ahead and check it out:


И снова возвращаемся к теме AI :)

Ребята дело не в AI а в том на сколько вы качественно относитесь к созданию своего контента. Все выше перечисленные ошибки можно было поправить в ручную, ни кто бы вам ничего не сказал и скорее всего бы значка AI на вашей игре бы не было.

ТАААААК ЭЭЭТО УЖЕ ВЫГЛЯДИТ КАК БУДТО Я ПРИЗЫВАЮ ВРАТЬ - но вы ошибаетесь, суть в том что бы использовать проффессионально инструмент.

Логика в вашем случае следующая: 

AI = быстрый некачественный результат 
Без AI = средний результат

А я в свою очередь вас призываю, окей, используйте AI но перед этим потратьте 1000 часов на обучение, научитесь видеть косяки и отличать ручную студенческую от ручной проффессиональной работы и такогда ваши работы будут вглядеть проффесионально и грамотно даже с помощью AI.

Мало того AI станет не более чем инструментом помогающим реализовать именно ваши идеи в том виде в котором вы хотите видеть - а не то как сгенерировал ИИ :)

AI уже давным давно используют в игровой индустрии в больших проектах и это никому не мешает - если на первом месте у команды стоял творческий посыл и качество а не скорость работы и заработок!

Ребятки давайте жить дружно и развивать платформу, а не разматывать тут косяками инструменты на право и на лево 😁

Субъективная оценка Король кст выглядит прикольно, запоминается XD

The original text, even its English translation, is detected as 100% human. So I assume the careful manual edits is telling ChatGPT to rewrite the text to make it sound more intelligent. Your own post even tells people to lie something wasn't made with AI when it was. It's funny that this thread is just AI generated content.

I'm motivating people to grow and grow s&box. Let them be honest and if someone asks about AI - just write about it straight up, no cap.

P.S. I dnot support or tells lying , but I also got no right to judge the guys for the mistakes they made. 
If you read my first message objectively and without ChatGPT - you'll get what I'm saying :)

To be fair, the AI thumbnail controversy shows Facepunch clearly doesn't understand what the problem actually is. It's not the AI thumbnails. There is no issue with OP's thumbnail being AI assisted.
It's especially hypocritical when you can have the game be fully AI generated but an AI thumbnail is not allowed.

It's because AI thumbnails either assisted or fully generated look shit 99% of the time, unless used appropriately e.g. the Adobe remove tool.
People don't want to see that nor have that be their first impression of S&Box. I don't hate AI, I think it's an amazing tool, but you cant lie and say AI thumbnails look appealing.

99% of AI thumbnails look just as good as normal ones or better. Most of the games with an AI thumbnail aren't even tagged as having one, making it very unfair to ban the few ones that get randomly tagged. Truth is the way to assume a thumbnail is AI is when it looks too good. The ones that look like shit are the obviously human made ones, the professional ones are indistinguishable from AI.
 People don't want to see that nor have that be their first impression of S&Box. 
People will claim every thumbnail that isn't a screenshot from the game is AI. Not having AI thumbnails will not change people's first impression of S&Box. Everyone immediately sees this is Roblox with sausage characters that everyone hates.
The first impression of S&Box being vibe coded, low effort Roblox clones that barely run, or aggressive monetization with NFT cosmetics is so much better? Gamers are known for loving these things.




Who decides what is an AI thumbnail? For example: https://sbox.game/viddy/build_a_sled, https://sbox.game/gemclicker/gemclicker, https://sbox.game/genbulabs/bouncingball, https://sbox.game/mastergames/s_boxtradinghub is AI but has no tag, like many other AI games. OP's thumbnail isn't even being detected as AI. Does someone just randomly decide it's AI when he feels like it, instead of actually checking it?

I've noticed they mostly tag AI thumbnails when Terry looks different from his 3D model, a cartoonish version, but won't tag AI thumbnails that use the original model.

So here you go, OP, you got tagged only because the model looks too altered. Just use the default Terry and it should work. They don't actually check if it's AI by running it through a detector, they vibe detect it.

They tag the thumbnail if it looks like AI, not if it actually is.
