Use AI where it earns its place. Reject it where it does not. Claim scoped work, own every decision, and help ship games worth publishing.
AI can make output faster. It cannot choose a disciplined scope, integrate a whole game, exercise taste, carry accountability, or supply the evidence a release needs.
Without production structure, faster output only makes the Graveyard Folder busier. Clowdr does not attack AI use. It rejects the idea that generated volume is the same as progress toward publication.
“The goal is not to produce more. It is to finish owned, integrated work that can survive the publishing bar.”
Approved Projects stay tied to a Player Promise, a locked Feature Scope, and a publishing standard. Contributors choose the work they can own.
Code is only one kind of task. Art, audio, design, writing, QA, tooling, and production cleanup all become claimable when they help the game meet its standard.
Browse Projects that Clowdr has approved for production. Each task board exposes the claimable work needed for the current stage.
Choose code, art, audio, design, writing, QA, tooling, or production work that fits your skills and the time you can actually give.
Whatever tools you use, understand the Contribution, revise it, integrate it, verify it in context, and hand it off cleanly.
Submit owned work and earn named credit. Clowdr publishes a game only after its Release Candidate satisfies all Five Proofs of Release.
One clear task is your commitment. The publishing standard is shared across the whole Project.
Six production disciplines keep scope, tool choice, ownership, and publication evidence visible from pitch to Release Candidate.
Define the experience the player must receive. Every scope and quality decision traces back to that promise.
Record where AI-Assisted Production will be used, limited, or deliberately rejected, and why that choice fits the Player Promise.
Open only Vertical Slice work first. Production expands after Clowdr approves the slice as the Project's Quality Baseline.
Keep the approved Feature Scope locked. Add Release Blockers only for defects or missing work required to meet the standard, never for new player-facing features.
Split code, art, audio, design, writing, QA, tooling, and production work into owned tasks that fit a 1-4 hour Contribution.
Submit a Release Candidate only after Promise, Build, Craft, Ownership, and Publication Proof are ready for Clowdr's Publication Review.
