Some short blurbs combined not to convolute your timeline;

• Stopping sponsorship of GDevelop's game jams due to them heavily leaning into generative AI

• The upcoming Pixross update will be known as "Anniversary Edition" and will be free for everyone

• New assets Feb 15th!

@kenney

\o ... But then, won't MORE people end up using the generative AI?

@Jayenkai I'm not responsible for that, I already provide free game assets that anyone can use instead of relying on robots

@kenney GDevelop thing is very sad, since it used to be a great tool for teachers in schools for teaching videogames and programming to kids! Now is not something very good since it has predatory AI stuff bundled with it

@antimundo Agreed!

@kenney Unfortunate but entirely understandable. I hate that I now have to follow up any recommendation of GDevelop with "Just ignore the AI garbage. The actual engine is useful, I swear!"

@DamonWakes I honestly didn't expect them to go for this, it's really unfortunate

@kenney Given that the engine is open-source I feel as though it might be time for someone to produce an AI-free fork. It's incredibly frustrating, though. I want to support the engine financially, but it feels as though anything I put in would just go straight down the AI toilet.
