Microsoft have just announced MUSE, a "generative AI model designed for gameplay ideation". Basically, it's an AI that can recreate games without a game engine, as well as make dynamic changes to them... it's both awesome and... useless?

Today we check out the s&dbox game engine by Facepunch (creators of Gary's Mod & Rust (the game, not the language)).
It's built on top of Valve's Source engine, even including the Hammer editor. It's currently free and in rapid dev.

PlayCanvas, perhaps the most powerful 3D WebGL game engine available, just released PlayCanvas 2.5.
It's been a while since we look at this excellent engine, so time for a revisit.
