This is a testing release to gather feedback around the new experimental features.
✨ [Beta] Introducing the AI agent to help you build your game
The GDevelop AI has now an experimental mode that can build simple features for you in your game. The AI agent reads your request and takes actions on the game project:
- It can create scenes, find and create objects, put instances on the scene,
- Add, remove behaviors, modify them,
- Create or modify events,
- And more to come (layers, setup leaderboards, etc...).
ℹ️ A note about privacy: there is no AI training made on projects (be it local or cloud projects). Cloud projects are stored separately from the GDevelop AI infrastructure, the AI has no access to them and they are not used for improving or training the AI output.
- This agent is still in beta but can already be useful for prototyping and learning: you can see what the AI can do and learn the concepts of GDevelop. For intermediate and power users, it's useful to try new things, or get things done while working on something else.
- Experiment with it and always save your project before starting - in the future restoration points will be provided for Cloud projects to go back to a previous state, if the result is not good or broken. As with any AI tool, the results can range from very useful to sometimes broken or wrong. Read the best practices here.
🟡 Each account starts with a few free AI requests. If you have a GDevelop Gold or Pro subscription, you’ll receive more every month — 25 with Gold and 75 with Pro.
Once you've used all free requests, a request to the AI agent you send costs 4 to 20 credits - according to the work and effort done by the agent.
We'll continue to improve the AI agent in the next months. You can help by putting a 👍 or 👎 with an explanation when it has finished working on a request. Learn more about good practices and how to use the agent on the documentation page.

💝 Improvements
- Platformer improvement: forbid repeated jumps while holding the jump key
- Add support search (and replace) in link events.
- Add a notice about extension breaking changes when installing assets:
- A pop-up suggests to update behaviors when attaching one to an object,
- Keep showing the "community" label and the info button on installed extensions.
- Add a mention in the reference pages of extensions telling no installation is required (thanks @Bouh!)
- Move the button to add an object at the top right of the objects list.
- Improved network usage at startup.
- Improved descriptions of multiple behaviors and objects.
- Update the badge links to suggest opening profile after first click.
🐛 Bug fixes
- [Top-down movement] Turn back at least as fast as it decelerate
- You need to go in advanced and deprecated sections and uncheck the property to enable this in existing projects.
- Also make analog stick controls more responsive.
- Fix hot-reload when custom objects are in an external layout and multiple hot-reload/custom object issues,
- Fix flickering when switching between events editors (thanks @necaTecnico for the investigation and first version of the fix)
- Fix missing behavior shared properties for global objects.
- Fix local variables sometimes briefly shown as invalid in the Events Sheet.
- Fix panel sprite rendering when the size is smaller than margins: the borders will be shrunk proportionally to their size.
