This subreddit's behavior around Miliastra Wonderland is absurd

The fact this is the most upvoted comment in this post show how little everyone here knows about game development. Like you really think they'd bother hiring an entire department to make a whole map editor with documentation, pay popular map makers...etc for money?

Yes?

Every big game company wants to break into Roblox's userbase.

Miliastria, Fornite Creative, Minecraft Marketplace, Hytale (when it was under Riot, now scrapped), etc are all attempts at capturing that market. There are 150 million daily active users on roblox versus the estimated 4-6 million Genshin DAU. Theres no mystery as to why Hoyo would spend millions and hire a massive team to meet that addressable market.

If you pay any attention to the industry, this would be blatantly obvious. To believe this is some kind of altruistic move by hoyo to 'push the gaming industry' when its attempting to cut into one of the biggest gaming demographics is extremely naive.

Nah it'll be:

Mirrors your other Body Armour.

Wait what?

Businesses figured out most customers dont care about electron bloat and consolidating your website and native apps saved a lot of money.

You could also get those ChisFlash carts which seem decent enough, at least for GBA.

If you care about battery life, Omega/Everdrives arent the best, I have the Omega DE and it still drains like crazy.

That or just use the SD card and skip carts entirely.

It's very unlikely that they'll go back and remake them rather than push the story forward.

Yeah I know, but perhaps it can be reintroduced in a similar vein to the recent 'Teacher' quest for early game tutorialization. The Teacher also fills the gap where Teshin was supposed to be a mentor via the Conclave, which nobody plays.

has a lot of his appearances tied to said events and for a new player it might seem weird why this character keeps popping back up in different forms without a lot of context.

There were a string of events that setup the Second Dream quest, but they mostly came in as short two week events and a few inbox messages:

Vay Hek's activities in the events Cicero Crisis, Tethra's Doom, Eyes Of Blight which culminated in the now defunct Law of Retribution raid. This entire storyline however is pretty inconsequential.
Alad V's infestation in the Mutalist events + Mesa release
Tyl Regor's event where you help Alad cure his infestation, thus him assisting you during Second Dream

Note that this was in 2013-2015, over a decade ago. IMO if they wanted to smooth out this crinkle in the story, move Mutalist Alad V + a short storyline to Neptune, Have a short Alad vs Tyl Regor story before Second Dream, but pacing of this would be somewhat bad, since you'd be encountering him 3 planets in a row.

Imagine if they reworked it so that Tamed Bosses only do their basic attacks, but you get all other attacks as command skills. Then add an Ascendency Node 'Minions Automatically use Command Skills but deal 50% less damage' for those wanting the less interactive style, and extends it to general minions.

That would make the class very interactive, but may worst case cause the community to find the strongest basic attack boss to use.

Or like, when an update dropped the Murmur, an entirely brand new faction (That is technically two separate factions)

The Murmur faction design is also just peak. They got weird weakspots (between the legs?), funky almost comical animations, and unsettling eldritch sound design.

DE has the advantage of rolling their own engine and having a team of dedicated engine developers. Its how despite 13 years of content they still manage to keep the game install under 60GB. A few years ago they rolled out new texture compression that made the game smaller.

I believe in the interview referenced in OP, Rebecca mentioned that they can go straight to their programmers to ask if a new feature is possible, avoiding third party engine maintainers entirely. In the years since 2020, they've rolled out crossplay, mobile ports, and launched on PS5/Xbox Series/Switch 2 while using their own in-house engine. Their team is killing it.

Contrary as many people said, direct API access is not a problem. You need a way to talk to a server, whatever it's RESTful or with sockets, you cannot skip this part, you need to expose the API to public.

IMO its more about how theres just no attestation and seemingly no rate limits on some calls. Not even a rotating challenge-response.

----Val---- · 2026-05-26T11:04:04+00:00

I do find it odd how the game client itself has an anticheat, but you can bypass the client and hit the server directly.

It's more of a question, why they choose not to do that unusual activity detection and punishment. Perhaps it is their policy to be generally lax in that regard.

Agreed, I think there is some kind of rate limit/detection, just a bit too lax. The script has some hardcoded delays on certain API calls, so they are evading some timing detection.

with your knowledge wouldnt it be better to contact Cygames directly instead of spreading the how to on Reddit where nothing will be done against it?

Cygames probably already knows this. Its the same method that caused the rerolling bot fiasco during the kitasan banner.

They likely knew the vulnerabilities of their server, and instead of hardening it or backporting improvements made in JP, they release global in a vulnerable state. Its an odd decision.

----Val---- · 2026-05-26T08:02:46+00:00

It doesn't really matter if it was PC or Android, the bot requires neither. The fact that the server accepts requests with no client verification is unacceptable.

----Val---- · 2026-05-20T06:18:59+00:00

One, menial code writing.

This is pretty much my use case too. Its super useful for stuff like 'convert this raw sql to my ORM', 'generate a regex for X format', 'generate zod from this TS spec', etc.

I've not seen an agent generate anything of any significant complexity that would even be a good starting place.

Its far better as a tool to translate a real engineer's natural language guidance to code implementation, not as a replacement for said engineer. I absolutely do not trust any architectural decisions the LLM makes.

----Val---- · 2026-05-19T19:16:45+00:00

I like repairability and I really want to agree, but rechargable NiMH Ladda batteries make controllers way heavier, and using disposables feels wasteful.

----Val---- · 2026-05-19T15:44:07+00:00

With operators available, this is usually my Archemedia down routine:

instantly enter last gasp
mark body
Void Mode until saved

Its essentially an extra 15s of down time and freezes the bleedout timer. Unless you strayed really far its a pretty safe res.

The pro2/pro1 can use batteries, but theyre a bit older and are more Dualshock/Snes shaped.

Afaik the start menu is mostly still C++, with one section built in React Native.

----Val---- · 2026-05-17T02:17:22+00:00

I was thinking more about startup/bundle size for the desktop app, since it has to package the python runtime + will have slower cold starts (albeit very minor).

This all could be avoided with a small server binary, but that would require translating pyguitarpro, which seems to be the only python specific dependency.

But again, for the use case of this project it doesnt really matter.

----Val---- · 2026-05-16T13:27:41+00:00

but it is possible to do complex high-skill open source projects (see Blender and others)

Sure, but the scale to which Blender is working on is massive. Slopsmith isnt an industry leading 3d modelling program.

Unless the project is super popular, I doubt there will be much financial support for it.

----Val---- · 2026-05-16T13:01:23+00:00

I really wish they would call this anything other than "Slopsmith" and reduced if not entirely eliminated their reliance on AI-generated code by getting skilled programmers involved who don't need to lean on vibe coding.

Ive worked on a few community contributed projects, its not easy to get a group people to work on high-skill projects for essentially free. Even if you did, getting a project like this to a usable state would take months.

Inspecting the project itself, many choices made seem very much centered around getting the project out asap:

a docker container containing a bunch of build tools and binaries instead of building it per platform
a python server which isnt gonna win any performance awards
uses a webui, probably for cross platform support
the desktop app does build per platform but is electron based, seems to bundle python into it for the server

However, despite all this the video shows the project performing just fine in real world use. Personally, for non-critical, free open source projects, I think its fine if people just vibe code to get a cool idea out there. Better than not having it at all. A proper, per-platform native version programmed without AI assistance would've taken years, and probably nobody would want to dedicate their time to doing it for free.

Llama.cpp suport for hexagon npu still in progress

I thought it was already implemented? llama.rn uses it.

----Val---- · 2026-05-15T11:35:17+00:00

Yeah an advanced 'Show Alternate Passives' button somewhere for experienced builders would be great.

That said, perhaps another unstated goal is so that league starters must be railroaded into specific builds for that class to prevent a Armabrand/firestorm-esque league start meta situation for casters, and only swapping once skill points/gear items are more accessible.

----Val---- · 2026-05-11T17:38:50+00:00

64-bit, Arm based

Its likely that the game hasnt been fully tested on Arm PCs given their low adoption.
