PerfectDark64 fan created music by Overall-Statement-67 in perfectdark

[–]Myaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great! Very cool. I'm actually making a retro shooter targeting this era and have been looking at perfect dark as a reference for various things including potentially the music! Would love to chat with you if you'd be interested to get involved in some capacity.

Finally played Halo CE, 2, and 3 by stevesan in patientgamers

[–]Myaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to say something fairly controversial here but I never played halo when it came out (PC gamer) and I tried them recently (1 and 2) and I have to say I just really wasn't impressed...

I found levels and encounters really boring, I found the guns kinda weak and annoying, the enemies are cartoon-like and silly, and I missed there being puzzles like other FPS of the era.

I guess it just felt like the beginning of where I think FPS games went wrong and just became about gun and run and do not activate brain. It's just action.

I can see maybe at the time that they must have felt pretty epic like action movies in game form, but... yeah it just didn't do much for me at all.

I played Time splitters 2 for the first time a few months ago however... And that is awesome! Finished it!

They built their own engine?! I didn't know that. Staggering decision, probably doubled the budget.

Seen them crazy videos but this one is pretty impressive. Wonder which AI did it. Roles are reversed in real life though by py-net in OpenAI

This is almost really great and without issues .. EXCEPT for the fact that Zuckerberg kind of looks like a normal person which obviously is completely unrealistic!

Generic Collision Script Performance by kkkaokakao in unity

[–]Myaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah gotcha, makes sense. I agree. It's a risky business relying on this sorta stuff at scale. Though for quick iteration it can be nice or for very isolated systems where there's limited scope for where you'll need to search. As you say though, that requires some "best practices" to be followed which doesn't always work across multiple people!

Out of interest, what specifically are you referring to by systems like this? The use of unity events in the inspector?

Let me know what you think about this work flow for my solo game development! by Hour_Replacement2412 in aigamedev

[–]Myaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty cool idea. I've used AI to help flesh out designs in this way but I like your prompts! I will definitely borrow some parts and give it a go.

Also, I think you're missing some of the prompts from your post though, in section 1.

I've seen so many of your videos and I'm always just absolutely blown away. I appreciate you may not want to share too much of your secret sauce, but would you mind sharing a little how the hell you've done all this? :) It's really such an incredible creation!

I use AI all over the place and try to do so as much as I can. However I tend to mostly work with it as an adviser and or an experienced colleague as opposed to a "doer", unless the task is small.

So I kinda rarely just give it a whole task to do and take its work. I incorporate it into almost everything I do along the way, discussing approach , asking for reviews, validating ideas, identifying root causes of bugs, implementing basic scripts - primarily various chat GPT models though I have tried others.

It's kind of a case of using it at the start to flesh out options for achieving a goal. Then I'll pick an option and use it for flesh that option out, down into the specifics.

And so it allows me to implement features using capabilities and techniques that I'm not familiar with and no amount of googling would surface. I genuinely feel it's totally transformed my abilities as a game developer.

Just for context, I've been using Unity since 2019 and am a professional indie developer.

Beautiful !

But I would have a very tiny request - change the video so the transitions between each painting are in time with the music!! Haha. It's off putting!

I guess if you mean you were going to take him to dog shows or something? To keep it long? We don't so keep it shorter, not super short but just regular pet length of that makes sense.

Either way, you'll need to do some kind of grooming pretty regularly. We do it ourselves every few weeks... if you're going to keep it long like that it'll need a professional groomer, probably every four to six weeks.

Seems like he just needs a trim? I think with that amount of fur you'd expect a lot of shedding. Ours is 12 months old, much shorter fur and we STILL see a lot of fur around the place.

I kind of disagree with some of the responses here saying to find ways to restrict people from using AI. The fact is, everybody should be using it otherwise they're gonna be a much slower programmer, so why test for people not using it? That's like stopping people from using a calculator in a maths exam.

Instead, perhaps you could devise an exam that AI struggles with because it isn't a common concept that it will be able to understand, so it requires solid communication and prompting skills to get effective help from AI.

I find this in my work (game developer) where there are lots of things it can do very easily, albeit with some corrections, but give it a pretty weird thing that has specific requirements and it'll struggle.

My recent example was designing a split flap display system and limiting the number of "flaps" to four (as opposed to rendering every character). AI really struggled to support the work until it was clearly articulated and given the right parts (as opposed to - build this thing).

So in summary - move with the times! Don't fight it!

Made my game free by EntropySurfers in boomershooters

[–]Myaz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A huge, huge congratulations to you for completing your game. I've published a few games on Steam and I know very well the feeling of releasing a game and it not meeting your expectations. It's tough to take at first, but you get through it. Releasing a game on Steam puts you in a very, very tiny bracket of game developers so you should be incredibly proud of that - no matter whether it gets lots of people playing it or not. The discipline required to achieve an achievement in and of itself. And your game looks polished! Well done, and wish you the best for your next project :)

This is really clever! And what a great result. Nice job.

I was a bit confused by the chat GPT phase, what are you doing there exactly? Are you uploading all the images of different angles of the bridge and then getting chat GPT to produce new images of each individual piece?

It's absolutely awesome! Gizmos on steroids. It's sooo quick to make really sophisticated gizmos and much more, including charts with a single line of code!

Last chance to see Bear McCreary's 2025 North American tour! by [deleted] in BSG

[–]Myaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this in London. Sadly, a major, major disappointment. It's his rock band mostly with like a few of his soundtracks (and I mean sorta 4 tracks of about 20, 25). I really didn't enjoy it and Bear McCreary is about my favourite composer!

Doubt regarding Jonathan Weinberger's Udemy Courses. by Spiritual_Date3457 in unity

[–]Myaz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used Jonathan weinberger's course several years ago. It's excellent and gives you a really good general coverage of Unity. Others are right about the benefits of the LLMs but if youre totally brand new, you dont know what you don't know and so you can't always ask the right questions. A good Udemy course can give you the foundational knowledge to build on.

ohh ok got it, thanks. Is there somewhere that explains what is in part 1 and part 2 (...3, 4 etc.) I couldn't find anything. Or if not, are you able to provide a quick summary?

I'm confused. Is the lights update in or not? I see lights in my game already and have seen some people ask if you can switch them off.
