The grand prize went to the team behind 'The Hero Defeats the Demon King,' a strategy game leveraging linguistic context, netting them a 3 million won prize. The 'Little Token' team took home the top excellence award, while the teams behind 'Sinabro' and 'Yeonieum' secured the excellence awards. Lee Su-chan, who claimed the grand prize, remarked, "Integrating AI technology meant that instead of compromising when we hit technical walls, we could focus more deeply on exploring the fun of the game. It is truly meaningful that the genuine effort put into collaborating with the team members led to such a great result."

Kang Deok-won, head of the AI Division at NEXON and a judge for the event, commented, "It was impressive to see the participants implement their ideas with such high levels of polish using AI tools, but it was even more striking to see how much their overall perspective on game development has matured. The experience of putting heads together with colleagues and observing different workflows will surely be a massive asset as these participants move forward in their careers."
