https://www.eurogamer.net/epic-genai-fortnite-unreal-engine-6-no-longer-writing-code>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.>Speaking to This Week In Video Games, executive vice president of development Marcus Wassmer confirmed that "we are definitely using AI to develop code and features for Unreal Engine," but that work will also be extended to the engine's next big numbered version. >"Almost all development happening right now is being done in the dev streams attached to Fortnite, UEFN [Unreal Editor for Fortnite], and UE6."https://thisweekinvideogames.com/news/epic-games-confirms-ai-is-being-used-to-develop-code-for-unreal-engine/>When asked specifically if Epic is vibe-coding anything related to Unreal Engine, Wassmer put it plainly: ">"Yes, we are vibe-coding things. That means our engineers are no longer writing the bulk of the code, but they are still guiding the tools to get the architectural result we want. >"We're not 'one-shotting' the engine; we're iterating with AI to ship features developers want and keep the engine within the memory, performance, and scalability envelopes." Wassmer claimed the AI tools would help the company push out updates faster and with fewer bugs.>"We don't think it's viable to take a halfway approach to AI in development," he added. "We think it's best to just be up front with what we're doing, share best practices with other developers, and make the best UE6 we can with the best tools available at any given time.">Earlier this month, Epic proudly admitted to vibe-coding the latest iteration of the Epic Games Launcher in an attempt to run slightly faster than Steam.
>>750576729based, they will even bring Fornite to Linux.
>>750576729Based. Total snailcat death.
OH IT HOWS, QUENTIN. IT SHOWS
Thats why its so shit, go figure.
>risk of moving too slowlyWhat being a publicly traded company does to mf
>>750576729Wasn't it reported not so-long ago that one of their main engineer (among others) left the company to make his own engine?Timmy is nuking his own company because he think doing this will make him part of the "dominant techies" who want to control the world. Great job...
No shit, I haven't written any code myself over the last year and a half.You just tell the AI what to implement, then you review and test it.
>>750576729Based. Thanks Uncle Tim.
There's nothing better than a workforce that doesn't understand the tools they use and can't fix anything on their own once the machines stop listening.
>>750576729Wtf i love epic games now
>>750577041Epic Games isn't even publicly owned. It's privately owned... by complete knobs.
>>750576729Do it lil timmy
>>750576729This isnt new. Their engineers havnt been writing the code for a while. Enginjeets have been the ones doing it.

>>750576729>I have never worked or trained as a bridge engineer but here is my opinion on the engineering of the new bridge building project.This is what luddites look like when they comment about stuff like this.
>>750576729Based timmy, make them seethe
Timmy's alt accounts jerking him off hard ITT.
Guess that's why they couldn't even make a store launcher properly.Anyway I think it's nuts that people are unironically trusting Claude. Took me all of one day on auto-permissions to get pretty severe malware. (in a container that it didn't breach but still)
