Information Updates pertaining to the Blender Game Engine.[edit]

The Blender section for this article mentions the integrated game engine, "Alongside the modelling features it also has an integrated game engine.", but support was dropped in 2019. Would it be correct then to adjust has to had, as it isn't a supported feature, or retain it as has because it technically still exists. Thanks, ~~Rylei C.

Headings[edit]

The level 2 heading "Inventions and innovations" should be removed, and then all the level 3 and 4 headings in that (former) section should be converted to level 2 and 3 headings respectively. You know I'm right. Currently it's a disaster. Far too much for for me to do though, so just dumping this here. --2001:1C06:19CA:D600:F531:95C3:3AD3:E361 (talk) 18:03, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
