I have made my game [Dani's Race](/games/Dani's_Race) under the UPBGE version 0.36.1 ( based on Blender version 3.6 source code ). For some time ( roughly during the height of my activity developing the game ) the engine was stagnant and nothing was being done to develop it. So I thought that perhaps 0.36.1 would be the last release of the engine ever.

After I myself took a sort of break from developing *Dani's Race* ( due to low interest in the game by other people ) the devs of the UPBGE game engine started pumping out new versions.

At first, as the rewrite of the [EEVEE engine](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/eevee/introduction.html) in the mainline Blender ( which is forked to make UPBGE ) made the engine slower ( because Blender developers do not develop Blender as a game-engine ), I decided not to invest in moving over to the newer versions of UPBGE. Also some changes broke the existing *Dani's Race* code.

But then I read the [release notes of UPBGE 0.5](https://github.com/UPBGE/upbge/wiki/Release-notes-version-0.50) and under the section [GPU skinning - Implementation technique and limitations](https://github.com/UPBGE/upbge/wiki/Release-notes-version-0.50#b-implementation-technique-and-limitations) I found the following words:

> The GPU skinning implementation was done with the help of AI.

As of now, it seems the problem only exists in version 0.5 and all the previous version should be Ai-slop free. But the timing of the development boom on UPBGE might suggest otherwise. It seems like the engine was stagnant until "vibe-coding" became a popular type of brain-rot.

I hope they would remove all of the Ai-slop from the code-base of UPBGE. Or perhaps I should do what I always wanted to do and fork the 0.36.1 version of the engine into a sort of custom *Dani's Race Engine*. For which I already have lots of ideas ( given the fact that I [tried to tame the damn thing for a long time](/videos/peertube___optimization_nightmare_when_it_comes_to_upbge_gamedev___dani_s_race___blender_3d___python) ).

**Happy Hacking!!!**
