Un visuel avec un fond très colloré qui rappelle un bug d'encodage video, le texte a également un aspect "glitch".
Le Logo de la "No Pasajam" mis en avant en haut rappelle le logo antifasciste composées de 3 flèches, celles-ci semblent appuyer sur un bouton, celui-ci étant courronné d'un glitch coloré qui dessine comme une explosion à cet endroit.

We think art is inherently human ; the public and the gamedevs showed us time and time again they don't condone AI in art. We stand by their choice, and we want to value great craftsmanship by not letting any slop taint it. Do you think our choice is fair ? Where do you stand regarding AI ?

Human Authorship
We keep every project fully human led, using no generative AI.

Everybody is talking about GTA VI overwhelming the video games space for months like it's something we can do nothing about. But I'm pretty sure a lot of people would like to play and learn about other games instead. What about we make our own channels for games to play other than GTA VI ?

We think studios have a better chance of thriving and growing by listening to their workers. This is why our board is composed by the very same gamedevs making our projects. What do you think about bringing more democracy to the workplace ?

Cooperative Ownership
We’re worker-owned, we share decision making, based on a foundation of trust and long-term collaboration.
