From f4a0a90ebf92744ca98cc5ea5235dfc01437cae7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mathias-heide Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 00:20:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Docs: our story on the front page in Mathias's words; no sparkle icons anywhere The front page opens with Summer as the AI game engine built for people and agents, in his words (make it, together on the Summer Board, multiplayer, launch anywhere, grow it, fair by design); the Start here path and question cards stay. Every sparkle/star icon is replaced (house, chat, image, clapperboard, flame, shirt, graduation cap, gauge, gem), including the skills generator so the sync keeps it.

Your agent makes images, 3D models, textures, sound effects, music and cutscene video with +the frontier generative models, at API cost, plus more than 175,000 free assets. Summer is built on +core Godot and follows upstream, so you can bring a Godot project and keep building it here.

Ship to desktop, mobile and the web. -- **Your project is yours**: plain project files you can read, edit and keep in Git. -- **Your data is not for sale**: encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold. See [Is my code safe?](/knowledge-base/privacy-and-code-safety). +**Make it multiplayer.** Every **Summer game** can go online with the **Summer SDK**: Summer runs the servers, matchmaking, parties, saves, leaderboards and store. +Start from a multiplayer template and make it your own. One build plays across iPhone, Android, Mac +and Windows on Summer Games, and cross-play on Steam and itch.io is coming. + +**Launch it anywhere.** Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and the web; consoles take extra porting +work. Your agent publishes on [Summer Games](https://summer.games) hands-free through the MCP: it makes +the store page, uploads the build, and the game goes live once you say yes and Summer's checks pass. +Steam, itch.io or your own site work too, and Summer Games also takes builds made in other engines. + +**Grow it.** Track everything that happens in your game, and let your agent read the analytics, talk +with your players and make the game better. Tools for organic content and ads are rolling out. + +**Fair by design.** The engine and the MCP are free.
