MODERATORS
30 years from now corporations are gonna be asking why we only pirate their shit up to 2026
Future Shareholder Meetings: "Good news! We've solved piracy! Bad News, we haven't sold anything in 3 years"
The beating will continue until the slop improve.
The beatings are going to be indefinite because the slop has pretty much plateaued.
And even if it starts to rise again, the profits need to eternally grow
We're embracing AI accelerated development by delaying our game. Makes perfect sense!
Pretty sure the title says because od the delay the execs ask for devs to use AI. Unless you know that and are just joking
I’m joking that they delayed the game to give them time to use more AI
Epic is going all in on slop. UE6 will be one massive slop engine. Brace yourselves, there will be a flood of slop games a few years from now.
Maybe it'll finally push developers to use Godot or maintain their own specific engines
or maintain their own specific engines
The ones who can afford to do so, already do. For the likes of Rockstar, EA Games, Ubisoft, Activision-Blizzard, it's actually cheaper than paying Unreal's royalties. On the other hand, CD Projekt Red is moving to Unreal because when you use an industry standard engine, it's so much easier to find people who already know how to use its tooling.
Godot currently doesn't really fill the "everyone already knows how to use it" criteria (though a lot of people will have used it in their own side projects at least, so still way better than an in-house engine in that regard) and it doesn't really have too many AAA games to show off yet. It will continue to be used by indie devs and small studios for the foreseeable future.
Yeah. Most big games tend to be on a five-year turnaround, and Godot got a massive investment in extra resources in September 2023 when Unity shit the bed and changed their licensing terms. Indie games don't tend to take so long to develop, but then as you say, all the indie developers need to have a little trial run so that they know how to use it before committing to it for a project.
I'm thinking that there will be a lot more high-profile Godot releases next year, and into 2028. All of the "higher profile" indie stuff that would have used Unity before.
Sure why not, tokens are free, right?
But why?
AI being the future of literally everything as a modern snake oil is really attractive to stupid people. They feel like they are missing out if it isn't crammed into everything.
In the 90s it was all "How do we focus on our core competencies?"
I bit the bullet and clicked through. The article cut off, but the headline seems a little misleading. They didn't reject a finished game because it didn't have enough slop. The devs said it wasn't ready and they were told to ramp up AI use because people think more AI means faster turnaround.
Someone who has access to the full article can correct me if I am wrong.
That makes much more sense. Now with that in mind, the title doesn't sound wrong anymore.
Just wait a day, until Ai bots rewrite the story in new articles. This is how we get fed nowadays.
This will sell REAL well with the current popular opinion about both AI-coded software and AI Artwork. These people are as tone deaf as it gets.
Edit: since i got downvoted: I meant that Epic is as tonedeaf as it gets, if that didn't come across clearly enough.
