my AI self driving car 5.2 milliseconds after receiving an update that causes it to spontaneously gain sentience

I just checked my pending message requests for the first time since the monkey ball post. A lot of single women seem to be very interested in me.

my rewrite of crimsonland 1.9.93 (2003) is out i decompiled the game and rewrote it from scratch. you can already enjoy the entire game end-to-end. and soon i will open the repo so you can study how it was done. play now: uvx crimsonland@latest

i have a lot of weird little ideas for fun features to add, but #1 might just be a super simple built-in level editor that lets you import models and shit. either that or some kind of online multiplayer features... leaderboards? IDK yet!

currently working on a video project for someone once it's done, monkey ball time... my plan moving forward with it: fix rendering issues (jamars, invisible stages, etc) support for custom levels (currently in but WIP) smb2 UI something else...? 🤔

also wtf does online multiplayer look like in these systems? lol i built really robust rollback netcode for 30 players in maxx throttle, i can't even imagine how you would do something like that without a super deep understanding of the gamestate and simulation

the intuitive thing i immediately imagine is a 'fine tuning' process that involves building a prototype and training on it, or A/B testing model outputs and iteratively refining towards your desired result i haven't really done much research, but i'm curious what the next step is

the culmination of a designer's many careful decisions, plenty of which might even seem mundane or meaningless to others, IMO play a big factor in distinguishing great games from good or mediocre ones. stuff you don't notice consciously, but contribute to a cohesive experience

...but what will the process look like for getting *exactly* what you want out of it, like you can do trivially in code? you can say 'make an antigrav racing game' but that's not gonna produce wipeout or f-zero, nor their specific physics/handling, unless it has the data, right?

realtime interactive video models like genie 3 are really fucking cool to me. i feel like obviously this kind of tech will be capable of things that are otherwise challenging or even outright impossible to do in realtime with traditional methods...

part of why i've been so productive lately is that my RAM has started dying so most games just crash when i try to play them, lol buying new RAM is not an option for poor folk right now

I can't help but notice that I am seeing a lot more dragon sighting videos since the advent of generative AI. Could it be that AI's adverse effects on the environment are leading to a change in their behavior, e.g. lack of water sources that causes them to move closer to cities?

The Solar System

we are so back

Just pushed an update aimed primarily at improving the mobile user experience, including gyro controls Give it a shot on your phone or tablet!

@BitesDev FIFY

I also pushed a really quick fix to cylinder collisions which should fix the falling through switches at the start of SMB2 stages
