Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."

I don’t believe is being done in good faith

you may argue that that’s ultimately in his selfish best-interest

These are corporations we are talking about, no shit nothing is done in good faith, if either company could make more money be squeezing devs harder, they would.

Game dev more accessible = Unreal engine has a good ide?

Its a hell of a lot better than what I used back in the day, and Epic puts it in front of so many people who might be intimidated.

Or are you suggesting that slop coding makes game dev more accessible?

Good lord no, they have templates and examples that will get you 90% of the way there and you'll end up with code you actually can maintain.

If epic provides gen AI tools, I was unaware. I just knew Sweeny had said dumb shit about not wanting customers to be able to filter slop games.
