Modding support -- Bot API and early access to tools
I was wondering if modding tools like the in-game editor that was announced will be available with the beta for everyone to try out / give feedback on and if there are plans for an official API for AI development like https://github.com/bwapi/bwapi for broodwar or https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto

Rank of AI opponents.
I encourage every1 that wants a piece of freedom not to use this launcher, especially bc the developers of it are full of jealousy/envy/spite towards one of the most useful SC1 & SC2 projects in history, the BWAPI AI: CoachAI, what's funny is this guy I'm commenting on is the same1 who posted the BWAPI issue about ResolutionExpander there to be included in BWAPI after I told him how to use it, lol this is the reward you get from envious despicable co-workers, conspiracies/backstabs/bans.

/r/broodwar weekly help a noob thread
BWAPI is the main way for AIs to interact with the game. It was never ported to Remastered, and now that Grant Davies left Blizzard it probably never will. There are lots of ressources, I just did a quick search for AI on this subreddit and found a bunch of posts immediately:
- Just a heads up, the independently developed Chronoshift project has been taken down under Riot pressure
- What is a project I could program within 5K lines of code in Java?

Machine Learning Ai
That said, in theory, hope isn't lost. For instance Starcraft 1 has BWAPI which is basically a memory injector into the Brood War client that lets you read the game at a much lower level (such as individual unit information) and relay the info in-game, as well as controlling things such as game speed so you can actually train at scale, as well as considerations for AI tournament play (such as configurations that prevent the AI from essentially having map hacks). I think it also has headless support now (no rendering needed). It's not going to ever be as good as first party support, especially since every time there's a patch they need to revise the injector to find the new locations, but it's pretty good.

Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming
It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community.
Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects
And
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-al...
If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are and neither of these cover everything. There are plenty of engines popular in the Python community that no one outside of it are aware of. Such as Arcade [0], Python-Tcod [1], Ursina [2], UPBGE [3], and Panda3D [4]. But based on your description you'd really like https://gdevelop.io/. It embraces exactly what you're describing where you can build a game but just installing entire features others have made and put online into your game.
[0] Beginner friendly 2D library:
[1] Rougelike: https://python-tcod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
[2] Beginner friendly 3D engine (built on Panda3D): https://www.ursinaengine.org/
[3] Blender Game Engine Fork: https://upbge.org/
[4] Highly flexible code first 3D engine: https://panda3d.org/

Construct's New WebGPU Renderer
After they switched to a monthly/annual subscription fee with the release of construct 3, I pretty much threw in the towel and switched over to Gdevelop.
https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop
Open source, completely free, and I can run it as a native application on my computer versus a weird web app. The idea that my game is basically tied to a SaaS is just not OK for me.
- Suggestion for software please
