That would make a lot of sense.

Scientific fields obviously put a lot of effort into tackling this problem, but philosophically, it is not possible to be specific enough to do away with vagueness. At some point, you have to use language like “a reasonable person” and just leave judges to interpret the spirit of what’s being restricted.

So you’re perfectly fine with vague rules like that?

Yes. I don’t even feel it’s that vague.

What glitches are you looking for? Metallic shaders work on any set of colors, you know.

And having crudely drawn dicks doesn’t exactly make QA work easy.

This is just simply not true. First, dicks are an HR issue, and second, the sentiment being expressed here is ridiculous. You do not need near-finished assets to test things out.

You know, any studio today that cares about winning the indie award as much as you seem to would probably just ask the award coordinators for clarification.
