I seem to be the only person who is upset about RenPy starting to use AI-written code.
Well, I'm used to being the outsider. I'm used to burning down my own opportunites on general principles. So be it. I'll still use the engine but will not be updating it. Hopefully it'll hold together for years.
@Twoflower this is the first i’m hearing about it and… wow, yeah, that’s incredibly disappointing. and with a project like renpy i don’t even understand the perceived need. i don’t feel like that’s a framework that needs to move fast and break things, like, at all?
keep on fighting the good fight. sigh.
@brhfl it was buried in a monthly update on their Patreon, so only backers found out about it. Nobody else found out about it.
Tom claims it's just going to be to reduce "drudge work" and he's going to limit vibecoding but like, if it's so trivial that he's downplay it this far, why do it at all? I don't know, but I can't include it. I made a promise to my audience to be 100% AI free and that has to include the code as well. I will not lie and compromise my ethics.
@Twoflower i know i don't actually know you in any meaningful way, but i've been aware of you since before arcade spirits even dropped, i think, via aenne's streams years and years ago. and to that end, i'm not at all surprised that you're adamantly standing on the right side of things.
i truly appreciate your work & general ethos.
