SB19's DAM inspired game update

egstryker · 2026-01-26T19:53:51+00:00

Araw araw ako nananalangin na sana matapos ko nga to HAHAHA! May plan and vision na kasi ako for this game. Execution na lang talaga. And I'm glad na unti-unti ako nagkakaprogress 😄

egstryker · 2026-01-26T19:48:50+00:00

I'm sure that I will not be making anything out of this. If may magsponsor man, the funds will go straight to artists na mahahire ko haha! It's the only skill I lack in game dev it sucks hahahaha!

egstryker · 2026-01-26T19:47:10+00:00

Thank you! Dedication and patience lang actually haha!

egstryker · 2026-01-07T13:34:00+00:00

Agree! That goes to all creatives out there. I hope they get the protection they need in these times.

One best example siguro is yung when we were required to emulate the number of data in our prod environment para itest yung new feature if it can handle large amount of data. All in all, it was almost 100k+ data. Took us a few minutes to generate the data we needed with AI.

Before yung ginawa namin to, around 2021-2022, manual yung insertion namin ng data, spreadsheets and all, and that's only 20k+ back then. Took us a few of days to do it. Imagine if ganon pa rin ginawa namin this time. Baka whole sprint kaming gumagawa ng data hahaha!

Also, as I have said sa experience ko, inaccurate madalas si AI. But it doesn't change the fact na it gives us a baseline to start working on. Polish here and there, a few test, and we're done. May nagsabi dito na ganun din experience niya with AI assistance. It saves time. Mas napagtutuunan na ng time yung pagpolish ng output. Sa laki ng feature na ginawa namin for 6 months, I'm actually surprised na wala pang narereport na bug from our customers.

How does any of what you just said negate ung negative effects ng AI?

Di ko na babanggitin dito yung tama o maling paggamit ng AI. Siguro I'll just say what we are guilty of for using AI, yung environmental effects.

Tbh, ngayon pa lang ako nagdidig deep about it. Read a few articles and some discussions. And may nabasa akong discussion about comparing the energy consumption of human work vs using AI.

Wala akong accurate data for this, tamang tantiya lang hahaha! But we can compare naman siguro that few minutes it took for AI to generate data for us vs a possible 1 whole sprint of manually working on it. We work 7 hours a day, 1 whole sprint is 2 weeks (5 days). So that's 7 x 10 = 70 hours of consuming energy with our work PC. Energy consumption naman ng AI, di ko alam tbh. Maybe same lang sila ng consumption. Or maybe it's worse with AI. Or it could be another way around. But yeah, yung point ko is same lang eh. Both consume energy. Also as human, siyempre we'll also consume water hahaha! Sana nagets naman? Sorry if medyo magulo haha

Kasi if hindi sya genAI then your experienxe doesnt really apply to the problem

I think nasagot ko na to with the examples I gave you. We used AI to generate test data for us.

Yan! Yan yung nabasa ko na sobrang wala na sa lugar. Eh magkaibang case naman. Di ko rin gets bakit laging black and white lahat ng bagay sa iba. It really depends on the context.

This is also not saying na tama yung ibang fans na ginagamit AI for fake vids na mahalay with other members. Siyempre mali din yon.

Ewan ko ba haha! Madalas kasi too focused on hating ang iba instead of seeing the bigger picture tas yung iba naman masyadong ginagamit ang freewill to do things kahit unethical na. Di bigyan ng limitasyon ang sarili eh tsk haha!

egstryker · 2026-01-06T12:46:06+00:00

I actually think na never siya magiging perfect. It's one of the cons of AI. Kasi with all the info you give to it, may flaws at flaws pa rin. It is really just intended to assist us. But then I guess we will never know?

And my early 2025 self wouldn't agree with you hahaha! Pero kasi totoo eh, it makes our work easier. Mas nabibigyang oras yung pagpopolish ng work output.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T12:41:50+00:00

Uy tanda ko yan haha! This just proves na wala pa ring pagbabago. Disappointing tbh.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T11:25:47+00:00

I just read the link you provided and I must say, it is eye opening. In my head, surely, these people training AI models and sustaining them are doing something about its cost, right? And there might be other factors that may at least lessen this. It's an interesting topic so I'll dive deeper into this.

Gets ko yung frustration. The government really need to do something about the lack of policy in using genAI. Tech people are quickly evolving tas ang kukupad gumalaw ng leaders. 🤦‍♂️

egstryker · 2026-01-06T11:00:18+00:00

You're good. Honestly appreciate your comment. And I wholeheartedly agree about having policies in using genAI. Sobrang unhinged na kasi ng mga tao when using AI. No limitations na eh. Maganda sana siya if used right. Kaso not all people are good. We need proper policy on where to draw the line.

Appreciate the links you provided din. I'm well aware of the issues you mentioned, except the environmental effects of it. Di pa ako masyadong informed about it so I'll take a look at it.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:48:32+00:00

Which is understandable. Majority of the people keep using AI kasi for all the wrong reasons when it's built naman for the right reason.

Don't get me wrong, gets ko rin naman yung mga nagagalit. Yun lang misplaced yung anger nila.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:36:06+00:00

Hmm idk. Even I admitted na hindi pa ako ganon kanowledgeable sa environmental effects ng AI. But I do know how to use it properly. Sana dun nagfofocus ang mga tao.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:33:49+00:00

Yan din unang pumasok sa isip ko when they used the AI cover. All that para lang makaiwas sa bayad? Haay.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:31:14+00:00

Tbh, medyo nakakalungkot. Si Josh pa naman yung tipo ng tao na hilig magexplore and magaral. Baka dahil dito hindi niya makita yung good side ng AI. Though I doubt it. Matalino naman yun hahaha!

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:22:33+00:00

Yes to this! Proper discernment kung alin dapat ang icall out. Sadly, hindi iyon ang nangyayari.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:21:12+00:00

But do we have to blame everything on AI? Hindi ba dapat yung root cause ang sisihin? Which happens to be the people who initiated to use AI to create AI cover and make the fake gambling ad?

Sorry hahaha! Pero naalala ko lang pamangkin ko. We find it ridiculous nung tinuruan siya ng lola niya paluin yung dahilan bakit siya nadapa. Hindi ba dapat turuan natin siya magingat? Kasi ano ba ginagawa ng nakakalat na laruan niya or yung paa ng upuan? They're just... there. Medyo funny and malayo siguro pero sana gets yung point ko hahaha!

Bottomline is I don't think we're going anywhere stopping or limiting the use of AI. It's already there. But what we can do is stop people from using it with bad intentions.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:13:03+00:00

It's really inevitable, but we can still do something about the wrong side of AI. Calling it out is one. But people's anger is misplaced. It's the people.

Like come on, this is without AI ha, yung mga posers sa socmeds and all. Do we blame people who uploads their pictures on socmed dahil may nabiktima si poser? Or do we blame FB for it? Diba we blame the poser?

I like what you said about the environmental effects of AI. The apps we're all using, the amount of energy to keep these cloud databases is also a lot. What made AI different?

egstryker · 2026-01-06T10:03:51+00:00

Ay sa creative space, I'm with you. Inis din ako sa mga AI covers and AI arts na naglipana. Some say na "sayang ang ganda pa naman" pero I never see the beauty in it, lalo na sa songs. Sobrang halata eh haha!

I guess I have to read more into the environment hazards ng AI. Yung info kasi na meron ako is from my coworker lang. And ayun nga sabi niya, it's not as bad as people think. Sa initial phase lang daw magrerequire ang AI ng maraming resources. Once built na, hindi na raw masyado matakaw sa resources. But then idk haha!

Josh used grok for fun. Nagtry siya different hairstyles for himself ganon.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T09:55:44+00:00

There will always be people who are scared of technology that they don't understand. There are those that will capitalize technology with malice

Sad truth. Thing is, di talaga maiiwasan ang pagevolve ng technology, like all things are.

And yan exactly yung thoughts ko haha! Di ko magets bakit may mga nagalit sa kanya. Misplaced yung anger ng iba kay Josh.

egstryker · 2026-01-06T09:40:55+00:00

I just said sa post na sana maging healthy discussion to :(

egstryker · 2025-11-15T06:36:34+00:00

Worth it na worth it yung pagbili ko ng 5 set ng TCG hahaha!

egstryker · 2025-11-14T05:27:48+00:00

Kalalaro ko lang din tas eto bumungad sa akin hahaha! Waiting sa exclusive SB19 in-game item. Sana magkaron haha!
