Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Pie chart showing game engines used to create 10,511 GMTK Game Jam games in 2026. Godot has the largest slice with 47%. Then Unity with 34%. Other with 11%. Game Maker with 5%. And Unreal Engine with 3%.

The lack of nuance when talking about #AI on social media is exhausting. It seems to be either "if you don't use AI for everything you're a caveman" or "did you just ask a question to a LLM? DIE!". But then again, maybe it's on me for expecting nuance on social media to begin with.
