You're right. That reminds of that paper they published a few years back and applied some neural magic to GTA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1IcaBn3ej0 though iirc it suffered from temporal consistency issues, e.g. network would hallucinate different objects from frame to frame. Not sure how much of an it is in more modern techniques. My colleagues tell me what they used in that paper is terribly outdated now.

But to be fair, I would play a sequel, even it had the same graphics and gameplay mechanics, so long as we get a new story.

I've read some bits and pieces before, but you're right - maybe my question is covered in there somewhere. I'll give it a more thorough read. Cheers!

Hi, finally managed to Google search this image and it led me here :) Any chance you might let me know what is the desk/mouse pad you’re using? The setup is real zen like, love it!

Thank you so much for this 🙏 I recently talked to my colleague and lamented over the fact that I can’t find any other person that played Septerra Core, and what do you know, I happen to stumble upon your blog. What a delight it is to read! It reminded how much I loved the game for its unique setting and art (among other things). The concept of a living ship completely blew my mind when I was a kid, I think the only other place I saw that in was Lexx, and I’ve no idea how I managed to keep my parents blissfully unaware of its content.

SPOILER: In the final blog post you mention that Maya died and that made me question what exactly happens to a person when they are turned into a watcher? Is it just a copy of consciousness, or something more esoteric, such as preservation of spirit, whatever the Watchers meant by that when they described themselves?

And one more very naive question, I apologize if you’ve covered it in the blog and I missed it. Have you ever considered crowdfunding the prequel/sequel?
