A screenshot of the luxe game engine website stating: No Gen "Al" We reject the current version of generative tools for code and art. They are not welcome in our engine, or our community as they are not compatible with our ethics, standards or goals. We focus on human centered creativity and empowerment. (Like this art, by Gabriele Pala)

We’ve updated the @luxeengine.com website to include an additional section about our philosophy and standards!

Generative “AI” is not welcome in our game engine or community, their current incarnation is not compatible with our ethics, standards or goals. We don’t compromise and don’t need to ✨

Welcome, say hello! Heyoh, I’m Josh, I’m a middle school teacher in BC, Canada who worked briefly in game dev before switching careers. Now I dabble and show kids how to code and generally muck about in an ADHD manner. 🙂

I saw you mention code first that’s a good fit with how we use luxe ✨ e.g the first tutorial is immediate style cos for a long time people assumed it was editor first and would get a bit off track cos of it being the primary path atm (means code focused and tools for content things)

Yea happy to detail anything as needed!

hello! it's on the FAQ about source, but the model is kinda based on sustainability and right now, open source is a time sink we can't sustain among many other things. the issue isn't people having the source, it's other stuff. so e.g if you were making a game and reasonable, you'd easily get source

Can take a look at @luxeengine.com fwiw, happy to hear thoughts or answer stuff while we’re documenting (there’s a pixel art template, tile editor, and arcade physics to quickly dive into prototypes)

@sophieh.itch.io might know

Forging new paths for filmmakers on The Mandalorian Epic Games technical lead Jeff Farris explains how Unreal Engine forged a new production path on "The Mandalorian" Season 1.

curiously though they do use game engines to render stuff these days, virtual sets are a whole thing. see here for example www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/f...

Happy new year!

If you're looking for #gamedev fun, learning and expanding your skills, why not try luxe game engine?

You can dive straight into the high level and enjoy a foundation that makes things easy, or you can deep dive and take absolute control over how your game works. you can have both!

workflow matters, it's why @luxeengine.com has rapid iteration using a scripted language at it's heart even if other languages are an option it's important that part is first

looking forward to feedback if you have time! anything in particular you wanted to tinker with?

yea someone reported that, easy to fix. It’s just a screenshot of the old tutorial game running on the switch! Cos we’re shipping our games on console those will land later this year. no current plans for mobile but it does work there before, others can maintain it in future but not a priority

but yea we did get a recent report as well, it's on my investigate list cos I had solved this for years and more recent distro versions have revived it somehow :c it's solvable though

ah this aspect is pretty fickle, if it's too old it won't work if it's too new it won't work, the goldilocks of glibc compat is really awkward atm. Might be something distroshelf or similar can help with? run it inside a distroshelf container with the versions needed!

yep! it's an interesting problem to get bigger. at least they make games and samples! other engines just don't which is a harder problem
