We got a major engine slopifying itself before GTA VI

I’m pretty sure 2027 will be hilarious for Unreal Engine with AI. And expensive.

With how much market share Unreal also has, it’ll probably cause some major shockwaves in the video game industry as well.

In the meantime, start learning the Godot engine. Which doesn’t accept AI code. [*Godot*]

Godot also released a new version yesterday, so there’s another reason to check it out

Is it NFTs, or is it what Epic have been aiming for since the peak of metaverse hype, to get the entire industry dependent on an asset store and account system where Epic takes a cut?

Yeah I don’t think it’s NFTs in the blockchain sense just the pyramid scheme sense and also with AI expected to handle all the between engine asset conversion.

No blockchain involved, but it works just like the NFT promises. And he called the language “Verse” for “metaverse”.

Sadly, I think Epic was always the most serious about making sure that every game made by every studio is part of the same cash shop scheme forever, and the most likely to realize that vision in any practical way. It’s the ultimate dream of all the deskilling, destylization, and asset trading built into their engine since UE4, turning the industry standard for games into interchangeable mush made of interchangeable parts by interchangeable workers.
