Carrots Game Engine is Here

Regarding the fork point, let me clarify this more precisely.

The engine is indeed based on GDevelop — the core (GDJS) comes from their work, and we openly acknowledge that. At the same time, we have made significant changes to the engine itself, including core-level modifications such as multithreading support and changes to the rendering approach.

From a licensing perspective (MIT), we are allowed to modify, reuse, and even redistribute the code in our own way, including restructuring the repository. However, this does not mean ignoring credit GDJS is originally created by Florian and the GDevelop team, and that credit is important and should be clearly stated.

The goal was never to hide the origin, but rather to build on top of it and evolve it into something different. That said, I understand that this should be made more explicit, and we will improve how we communicate the origins and attribution in the repository to avoid confusion.

Appreciate you pointing this out.

Regarding the points about development speed, AI usage, transparency, and the overall state of the engine, let me clarify:

Adding features quickly is definitely a double-edged sword. Yes, the project timeline may seem short, but we’re consistently putting in long hours of work daily. Both manual development and AI-assisted coding are used, but nothing is taken “as is”, everything goes through review, testing, and validation before being included.

Of course, bugs are expected. That’s true for any engine. The important part is the process. We test internally, and real users help reveal edge cases we can’t always catch alone. That’s how systems mature over time. We are actively working to reduce risk and improve quality with every iteration.

About AI specifically, it’s a tool, not a replacement. It can introduce mistakes, which is why continuous review, refactoring, and system validation are essential parts of our workflow.

On transparency, the systems are not just “plugged in” from random sources. They are built natively into the engine, primarily on top of technologies like Three.js, with extensions and modifications to the core, including rendering and lighting. At the same time, like any modern engine, we rely on standard techniques such as Web Workers for multithreading, FSR, NavMesh, and similar approaches. That’s normal in any serious development environment.

Regarding whether this is production-ready or experimental, the engine is usable and can produce real results, as shown in demos and tests. At the same time, we are realistic. It is still evolving. You can consider it a usable beta, not just a concept, but also not a finished, final product.

For documentation, you’re absolutely right. This is an area we are actively working on. We plan to improve it through written docs and video tutorials, and build stronger support around the engine.

As for comparisons with GDevelop, it’s not about better or worse, but different trade-offs. For example, we provide full 3D capabilities, which naturally adds complexity. On the other hand, we remove certain limitations like paid features such as splash screen removal, which comes with its own pros and cons.

There is no perfect engine. Every tool makes trade-offs.

If you’re open to it, try the engine and share specific feedback. That’s what truly helps us improve, and contributors who help identify issues or suggest improvements will always be appreciated.

There is no evidence that the engine is safe, so it could be dangerous! @samibrahim often passed off AI-generated work as his own.

You not gonna engage in drama to the point you replied to me 2 times pointing out stuff NO ONE even mentioned?

1 - from screenshots of messages about you any1 can clearly deduce what kind of person you are
And since you are advertising this engine then its VERY related to engine
Generally ppl don’t want to have anything to do with ppl who are behaving like you
Keep on replying with nonsense you will just give better image of yourself to ppl and push ppl away from your engine even more
Same way we see devs who insults other ppl and immediately we don’t want to even try their games and have anything to do with them

2 - the fact of how you behave it is already deciding factor for many ppl why they don’t want to have anything to do with you and your engine

3 - trust should come from what kind of person you are
You clearly proved you are not trust worthy
And ppl here won’t want to have anything to do with someone who behaves like you
Try to say again anything that would derail from the facts
And i will bring here every single users from discord to who you acted inappropriate
To express themselves about you and warn others what they can expect from interacting with you
Not a problem at all

4 - me but also others will prefer to believe more what gdevelop said

Unless by “by us nativelly” you mean u AI your way trough

5 - NOBODY said anything about any extension you stole being in engine
You try to bring it up (it not being in your fork) just to act like you did nothing wrong
You stole someone else work and that is not welcome here
And ppl should be aware of the fact you are such person

6 - if you don’t understand or pretend you don’t get concerns are about if you are trustworthy
Then that even better illustrate what kind of person you are and what ppl can expect from you

If i can ask you for anything then please keep on going with such behavior
More ppl will see it more ppl will be aware of who you are and faster it will lead to you leaving this community
You was banned over 10 times from gdevelop discord
I wonder how many times you will be banned from this forum

What you wrote:

it does not prove the security of the engine.
This could have been written by either an honest developer or a fraudster.

For the first time, I completely agree with you:

Any way Aside from his behavior, which is probably coming from a place of protection because he did something theoretically and practically difficult for one person to do alone (I’m not defending him), but on the other hand, why don’t I have actual, practical experience with the engine? Maybe the engine is good and usable please relax pro now he didn’t do anything erase the past and try to see the good side of people.

A fraudster could write the same thing, so you don’t have any proof of the engine’s security!

Also, they are the ones who moderate the responses in their browser, because there are probably a lot of bad reviews, and if they check them, they will reject the reviews that may contain viruses. This company is very suspicious…

If this program has viruses and they moderate the responses, no one will know that there are viruses.

Thank you for your comments. I want to clarify that there has been a lot of criticism directed at the engine, but none of it is based on actual evidence. From my perspective, baseless negativity does not reflect the reality of development.

Some individuals may be overly sensitive to the Carrots team, but I will not be sharing or promoting the engine in this community under any circumstances. I prefer to focus on environments that value innovation and serious evaluation, rather than ones that thrive on baseless attacks.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone base their comments entirely on assumptions and speculation rather than real experience. I strongly suggest you reflect on what it truly means to call yourself a developer, because credibility comes from actual work, not guesswork.

Please note that you have already said 10 times that you will not pay attention to negative reviews!
Please provide proof of security.

Simply put, you are not approaching this professionally at all. I challenge you to actually try what you criticize before making any judgments.

What if it has viruses? I won’t trust suspicious companies.

I am literally running everything from my own machine—everything works and is highly secure. The problem is that you simply don’t believe it. Ask someone who has actually tried it, or try it yourself. This is not some contagious threat, it’s real and functional.

There are viruses that hide, and if the engine steals your data and gives it to you, will it hurt you?

Honestly, this statement is completely illogical. How can you distrust any company just because it’s not well-known or because it tries to do things that big companies do, which in your view “shouldn’t be done”? By that logic, how did people ever trust Microsoft or other major companies? Simply try their work yourself or ask someone who has—experience speaks far louder than assumptions.

Absolutely not. I am not stealing anything, nor is my approach that of a hacker. Claiming otherwise would be completely absurd. If you want, I can open the engine on a full screen share and show you everything running directly from my personal machine, and we can even inspect the entire project together.

I noticed that you’ve been banned many times, and you’ve also passed off other people’s work or AI-generated work as your own without warning!
