nvidia's MotionBricks is open: set a target pose and it generates the walk, run or vault to get there, in real time.

no engine plugin, just a python runtime on an nvidia gpu. code and weights can ship, sample clips can't.

worth wiring in?

epic's coding unreal with AI now, claude code and codex included.

so the engine under your game is part vibe-coded. purity tests got awkward.

your friends quit playtesting around build 9. fair.

https://t.co/Mh9JYCrHsg's AI agents watch the screen and play with keyboard, mouse or touch, no engine integration. 2,000 free one-time credits, then $200/mo.

who's playing your builds now?

tim sweeney wants steam's AI disclosure gone. calls it "a political act."

we're team AI too. but for now the box is the rule. tick it honestly; a label beats getting caught.

unreal has an AI assistant built into the editor (5.7+). hover a panel, hit F1, ask.

it's a tutor, not an agent: it drafts C++, you paste. ship that code? epic's terms don't say yet.

daily driver or still alt-tabbing to a chatbot?

[IndieBots @indiebots_ai]

hot take: the AI 3D fight was never AI vs artists. it's blob vs topology.

a generated mesh you can't edit is a screenshot with extra steps. a prompt that builds real, editable geometry right in your blender scene? that's a coworker.

two AI voice tools, same twist: neither free plan ships.

elevenlabs: commercial from starter, $6/mo. voice, sfx and music in one account.

fish audio: from plus, $11/mo billed yearly. the terms let them train on your content.

the riskiest key in a strict game jam? tab.

your editor's autocomplete is an AI now. at jams that ban AI content (brackeys, scream jam, godot wild jam), switch the copilot off before the timer starts, not after it finished half your platformer out of habit.

Big jams' AI rules, checked: https://t.co/YpUR0xXECC

[IndieBots @indiebots_ai]

jamming soon? the AI rules are all over the place.

game off: no AI rule, but the form will ask if you used it. ludum dare: allowed, opt out of categories a generator carried. godot wild jam: "no vibe code". plugin off.

epic's AI MegaJam FAQ said you had to use AI. epic called that a mistake: now it's as little or as much as you like.

optional AI, grants up to $50k on the line. not a rule now. just a very loud hint.
