Tim’s gonna say that this is a vocal minority acting like him and his little ai clan aren’t a silent minority to the big steam
Key art, concept art, and general art made for a game is the forefront of what a player sees when looking at your product. It is one of the biggest hooks that is meant to grab a players attention.
It shows the games content. Characters, world, all in a space appealing to the consumers eyes.
While I believe code should be handled mainly by people. No one looks at code to see if they want to play your game. They look at your key art, trailers, and in game screenshots.
Ai is a disingenuous way of displaying these factors. It’s a logic machine, it’s going to build the scene based of what it thinks looks good which. Arguably most people won’t find appealing ( unless they are under the age of 15 and play Fortnite and Roblox where all the bright colors are ).
While you can vibe your way to a finished product code wise with less people being upset at you. Cutting the corners on what’s supposed to be the developers illustration on the product and world thay they built inside of it will make most players assume that you would rather have the logic machine do basically all of the heavy lifting while you sit back and collect the dough, and that your not there to build a community for the product you want to release.

Instantly counters your own argument because professionals may use credits to bring on new people. So yes, credit screens are absolutely needed. Not to mention it is a huge clear and concise receipt of who you was involved in your project and what they did. To prevent those who had nothing to do with your works to claim they did.
I have my fair share of vibecoded dogshit I’ve “made” ( aka have an ai generate a working thing based off instructions given by a complete imbecile ). I don’t make these out of passion, I don’t make them to be proud of, I have an ai make them to solve a problem I didn’t care enough to.
That’s the issue with GenAI, it gives too much room to people who do not care about the products they make to infiltrate spaces that people do care about. It allows anyone to take any idea on paper and turn it into something that in all honesty probably shouldn’t exist. It allows people with poor ideas to create poorly botched products.
While big corporations can hold the arguments that it speeds up workflows and allows for quicker game development, that’s the very problem. Theres no time for people to take time on the games they want to make, they can take their day one idea and ship it within a weekend, then complain when people say the idea wasn’t good in the first place because the AI is programmed against that. Many developers don’t know when an idea just isn’t really good.
This “Anti-Ai” fight isn’t just about jobs being taken from people. It’s about the influx of people who create generally bad products that appeals to a niche but “good enough” audience. We need quality, but companies are pushing for quantity.
We want games. Not “content”
What Tim Sweeney is trying to do to steam is the same thing as a food company trying to hide what goes into their products.
Tim knows AI is a corner cutter, he also knows people don’t like corners cut. It’s not about using tools that help developers. It’s about hiding the laziness that went into a game to produce a lower quality and generic product that attracts kids because anyone above the age of 14 wouldn’t resort to a UEFN map as a viable way to pass the time.
Ai bros are all about making every single task that comes across them quicker.
Do these people just like, sit around all day and just stare at gpt completing tasks? These people don’t seem fun to hang around
Tim Sweeney when consumers want transparency and clarity from the developers making the media they want to consume.
Replying to @mattworkman
Forcing developers to write a political statement to be used against them by the hate mob they’re helping organize is abhorrent.
Despite my departure from publishing maps, I do like fucking around with uefn in my free time, I’ll still make time for 3D art as well as 2D art I may post on a new account.
I’ll also continue to provide support for Render Toolkit so creators who do wish to stay on Fortnite can use it for their media creating needs.
A company and engine that used to be respected would’ve considered having the updated FAQ before launching the Megajam. Is this company being ran by teens or something?!
Our FAQ originally said you had to use AI for the MegaJam. That’s our mistake.
You can use as little or as much AI as you want. We’re updating the FAQ and rules to make that clear.
