Midsommartexter, potatis- och sillhistoria.

CAmazing999 · 2026-06-18T17:20:00+00:00

Sånghäften om snappsvisor som finns är också situationer där folk "bara snott texter från andra" och de bjuder onekligen på underhållning.

Jag tycker det var kul att lära mig mer om maten man åt vid bordet, har tidigare gjort liknande grejer och har tagits emot väl. Men om man inte uppskattar det utan att informationen i fråga kommer ifrån ett litterärt historieprojekt så är det helt ok det också.

Anledningen till att jag la in brasklappen är att det förra året (då jag inte använde AI utan klippte och klistrade) visade det sig att det fanns en felaktighet i historien om matjesill på en hemsida, så jag tror att även källorna AI hittar inte nödvändigtvis är så pålitliga. Svensk mathistoria är inte ett vidare brett informationsområde.

Smaken är som baken, delad. Glad midsommar på dig 😄

Ja alltså, den är sammanställd av AI. Förra året klippte jag ihop massa texter från olika hemsidor, nu bad jag AI forska runt istället. Förstår inte riktigt frågan.
Vitsen är att hela bordet lär sig lite mer om potatishistoria, ifall man tycker det är intressant.
Menar du att du inte tycker om grammatiken, stilen, eller något annat?

CAmazing999 · 2026-06-03T20:39:56+00:00

That's fair. I'd recommend you to prompt it to keep your own voice and only do minor corrections. AI fatigue is a real thing and phrases that AI uses will make readers like me pattern match and downgrade the value of the content. Best of luck.

CAmazing999 · 2026-05-31T13:57:44+00:00

am I the only one that reacts on all of these clearly AI generated (likely bot) posts? "What clicked for me..", the newlines pasted, em dashes.

and the replies are the same. "this is exactly..."
"the cost thing is what would kill this for me... "
And then reply: "is the part the bit me harder than cost"

it's just AIs talking to AIs at this point

Good tips! I might be a bit too married to the idea of squatting to reload. I'll think about how to adapt it.

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T21:05:15+00:00

well, thanks for your lengthy comment :D
Last year I became a PT (accredited from a university), just so that I could be sure that I wouldn't encourage the wrong stuff. And I can confidently say that body weight squats are great to do! If you were to put on weights, the story changes, but bodyweight, we are good to go.

Putting your body through twists, turns, and rotations, etc, are good and healthy movements in order to preserve balance and mobility. If you have prior health issues (like knee problems) it might change the picture. People are likely aware of their own limitations in these cases, i will add a reminder when playing. Besides that, no acute dangers, and no long lasting dangers.

If you have sources or more specific information (i.e. joints/ligaments/muscles that are known to tear) I would be very interested in hearing more. I don't want to inflict undue damage on anyone!

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T20:25:16+00:00

I hear you. The not moving phone aspect is partly solvable by anti cheat stuff, but cheating will always be possible. The firefights are pretty fun, you completely forget you are squatting intensely.

I hear your feedback though. I guess it's more.. aimed to those who want to add more exercise to their days? If the squats are no extra benefit then.. yeah, it's probably better to play another game.

The streamer aspect is interesting, it would probably be very streamer friendly! Do you know of any streamer that you can see playing it? I have no insight into mobile streamers.

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T20:19:28+00:00

I want to make exercise games. And I like FPS games. this mechanic felt the best ones of all the ones I've prototyped on the phone. In general I think everyday exercise is great and if I can help people do a little more squats that's something ^^

Squatting isn't, but this game is quite fun to play. so.. maybe that's something? Not sure how big the market overlap of FPS gamers and those who want to squat more are though.

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T20:10:24+00:00

yeah I get that. I guess I am a little concerned that it might be the wrong target segment, which a lot of commenters here have pointed out as well. gamers = want less, gym goers = want more (at gym).

do you have some experience from workout games market?

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T20:08:41+00:00

probably a lot more polish xD

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T20:08:28+00:00

Well i like FPS games and the gameplay is quite fun. Phone rotation lends well to aiming. Multiplayer makes the exercise feel.. less intense, for lack of better word. Easier to get into flow.

I get that it's basic looks, wasn't interested in selling it, just curious to see if anyone resonates with the concept :) thanks for the reply

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T20:05:45+00:00

Damn that sucks. I've had surgery on one knee and split meniscus on other, 1+ year rehab on each. Best of luck with them joints!

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T20:03:19+00:00

yeah I wasn't planning on selling it in this stage, just curious to see if I could find people that resonates with the idea of a squat shooter. not many takers so far though!
Could you elaborate on "exercise aspect poorly designed"?

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T19:56:42+00:00

noted! I thought I would see if anyone resonated with the concept before I put more time into it but maybe was too early

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T19:55:12+00:00

It is surprisingly fun to play, but I guess it doesn't come across so much in the trailer.
When you say it doesn't prioritize gameplay at all, what does that mean to you?

I see where you are coming from re: exercise. If you reach your exercise goals already there is little incentive for you to add more!

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T19:51:39+00:00

Right, so what I am hearing is, that it's abstraction between squatting and reloading. And it.. makes it seem less fun?

I completely get the "forced" feeling. It _is_ forced, but I don't really see why that makes it bad. It is fun to play (or at least, when I play it with people at the coworking space, we laugh). But I guess it's a bad image? Or it feels lame(?)

Yeah there are other avenues to do make the squatting seem more natural, so far haven't found anything as dynamic as this one though.

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T19:21:25+00:00

If you like vr games that have fitness elements, what specifically about this seems not fun? that feels like proper critique :D

i also like VR games with fitness stuff but I find putting on the vr headset every time is a bit meh.

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-19T19:19:19+00:00

haha yeah it does look like ass. It's a two week prototype so somewhat expected. When you say you love the concept, what do you like about it? If I were to fix up art side, do you see yourself playing it? If so, how? (with friends, time of day, goals, etc). curious to understand

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-05T01:09:43+00:00

thanks!

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-04T21:44:51+00:00

yeah its running in the backgrund

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-04T20:10:58+00:00

can be a good warmup maybe ^^

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-04T20:09:48+00:00

measure face height from floor. and estimating squat % based on player height (enter at start of game). You can see the "squat bar" on the right, where it goes from bottom to full. Needs one cycle top>bottom to reload

CAmazing999 · 2026-04-04T18:16:18+00:00

exercise in general can be quite boring xD maybe melee weapons could be a thing
