A huge shift is happening in the AI world, shaking things up big time. While everyone is busy watching American AI Stars like famous ChatGPT & Musk's Grok, China just casually dropped Manus, a super-smart AI that's changing the game completely.

VoltekPlay developed Diapers, Please! in just a week for a Game Jam, launching it as a free HTML5 game on itch.io on Feb'23. The Game, inspired by Papers, Please, challenges players to match newborns with their parents based on visual traits.

The SS, Gameplay & Description were copied word-for-word: “Immerse yourself in an alternative 1920s world where a totalitarian state and impeccable bureaucracy conceal deep secrets…” VoltekPlay sounded the alarm, writing on itch.io: "It’s literally just our game, wrapped in a mobile shell—uploaded without our permission by someone who didn’t contribute at all." While Apple erased the […]
