To no one's surprise, Epic Games has now confirmed that it's tripling down on its gen-AI push and will use the controversial tech on everything from Fortnite to the next iteration of its widely-used game development engine, Unreal Engine 6. Read more
"We are more concerned about the risks of moving too slowly": Epic get more specific about genAI use in Unreal Engine and Fortnite development
Epic Games are, dunno if you've heard, on a bit of a genAI kick at the moment. It's been tough to notice unless you listen very hard. Tim Sweeney's lips have been sealed and no reports have spewed forth. Sark aside, to this point Epic have had far more provocative soundbites and weird marketing lingo to offer than spec...
'Yes, we are vibe-coding things': Epic confirms it's using AI tools to code Unreal Engine 6, Fortnite, and more
You won't catch me venturing deep into the coding mines, but even so, thinking about the comment-less form AI-assisted code can often take still gives me a stress headache. So you can imagine my reaction when Tim Sweeney recently confirmed via X, "Yes, we are now using AI tools to develop code for Unreal Engine."This i...

'This is the bit where the comet hits the earth and the dinosaurs die:' Tim Sweeney revisits scathing 26-year-old eulogy for beloved studio Looking Glass
On May 24, 2000, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney shared a public statement (the specific platform or venue eludes me) on the closure of Looking Glass Studios, a canonical PC gaming institution and originator of the immersive sim genre (maybe don't call it that, though). The statement was resurfaced by immsim enthusiast acco...
The mouse P.I. for hire from Mouse: P.I. For Hire joins the meat boy from Super Meat Boy 3D in gaming's latest indie crossover
It seems like there's a new slightly-humorous-for-its-incongruity collab between game devs every other week at this point, and the latest in this sacred lineage is a team-up between Super Meat Boy 3D and Mouse: P.I. For Hire. The latter game's titular mouse detective has been squished into a cube-like shape and sent to...
Japan Actors Union pushes for heavy restrictions on AI copying dead actors
The Japan Actors Union, an org consisting of around 2,600 actors and voice actors, recently announced a series of measures to protect the rights of performers in the industry with regard to generative AI (reported in English via Automaton Media). It's been a hot topic both in Japan and here in the west, with Leon Kenne...
Tim Sweeney Draws Flak For 26-Year-Old Forum Post On Studio Closures
Tim Sweeney isn't exactly popular. Every other week he posts an asinine take on X and is inundated with backlash, only to double down while a select few, also unpopular game devs rally to his corner. For younger gamers like myself, it might seem like the man behind Unreal Tournament let the Fortnite success get to his...

Fortnite Leak Suggests Sprites Are Being Cut From New Chapter
A reliable dataminer has uncovered code that suggests Fortnite might not include Sprites as a game mechanic in its next big Chapter, which I'm sure is amazing news for many.
