Moonlighter dev delays Steam playtest for its “Tower Defensevania” ReVamp over concerns that AI copycats might clone it before launch
Digital Sun has delayed the public Steam playtest for ReVamp, its upcoming “Tower Defensevania”, because it fears a widely shared preview could be copied and released before the original game. The decision reflects growing concerns among developers that generative AI tools make it easier to imitate unreleased games.
The studio will instead invite players to a more limited playtest through Discord in waves starting on 29 October, and hopes to open a public test around January. ReVamp is due to launch on 25 March 2027. The article also cites another developer cancelling a demo over similar concerns.
- ReVamp’s public Steam playtest has been delayed over copycat concerns.
