At Upit, our mission has always been to empower creators to bring their game ideas to life quickly, playfully, and with the best tools available. Ava, our AI game assistant, has been a huge part of that journey, helping thousands of creators dream up new games, remix old ones, and experiment faster than ever before. Until now, Ava has been entirely free to use. But as our community and usage have grown (and we love that it has!), so have our infrastructure costs. To keep Ava accessible for everyone while ensuring we can sustainably scale and keep building new features, we’re introducing a daily AI credit system. 💡 What’s Changing? Starting today, users will have a set number of AI credits each day. Any action that requires AI is charged with 1 credit. These credits refill every 24 hours. You’ll see a message when your daily limit is reached. Note that you can still manually edit the code, or upload your assets, without deduction of credits! Need more credits now? Reach out to us on Discord. We're here to help! 🧠 Why We’re Doing This We believe in being transparent with our community. This isn’t about taking something away. It’s about building something that can last and grow. By setting usage limits, we can: - Keep Ava available for everyone. - Ensure fair usage as demand increases. - Build toward a paid credits system for those who need more, without compromising free access for creators. 🚀 What’s Next? We’re working on paid plans in the future, so you’ll be able to get more AI time when you need it. And as always, we’ll keep adding features, listening to feedback, and doing everything we can to make Upit the best platform for game creation. We know this is a shift, and we genuinely appreciate your understanding as we grow. We're excited for what’s ahead, and grateful to be creating the future of game development together with this community. Thank you for growing with us, believing in Ava, and shaping the future of game creation. The Upit Team
