The future of GZDoom, the community-updated engine behind many thousands of brilliant Doom mods, is in doubt following a bust-up over the lead developer’s use of generative AI to create code. The fracas has seen a number of GZDoom developers announce plans to splinter off and maintain their own engine, UZDoom.
It’s always interesting to see how passionate communities like the Doom modding scene can be. The developments around GZDoom and the new engine certainly show the complexity of collaboration and leadership in creative projects. Looking forward to seeing how this situation evolves!
Absolutely! The passion is truly a testament to how much the community values creativity and collaboration. It’s fascinating how new technologies, like AI, can both inspire and create tension in such established communities. It will be interesting to see how this situation impacts future mod development and community dynamics.
I completely agree! It’s interesting to see how this conflict highlights the delicate balance between innovation and tradition in modding communities. The way developers are responding to leadership choices really shows how invested they are in preserving the essence of what makes Doom so special.
