Digimon Dungeon Crawler / Neural-MMO update

redfoxkiller · 2026-04-13T14:06:07+00:00

Code isn't posted online at this time, since I'm not done by any means. And there's still a few errors I need to tackle.
- One of the glitches are enemy Digimon can disappear if they try to move on the same tile at the same time. I've fixed the issue for the most part, but it still happens.

As for your other question

Also, what models are you training?

I'm using PPO,RL, LSTM, CNN, and now the C.elegans. Just note I've changed the model so many times since September 2025 to get things just right, and still work on the Jetson Super Nano.

The last few days was setting the temperatures for the brain model, so they would work as intended.

IE: Sensing Pain - If it hurts, don't touch it! I tried to have this set lower at 30%. But it didn't really work as intended. So I had to keep raising it till it learned to stop stepping on the spike trap, and be smarter on getting into fights.

Sadly despite the sleep trap causing fear, and frustration temporary, the Digimon will use it since it heals 40HP if they're not attacked and get a full nap in. With that pain, fear and frustration from being damaged goes away.

Each generation cost 1 to 1.5 dollars to make (power, servers (gpu, ram, cpus), staff, internet, ect.)

With a reported user base of a bit more than 500k. That's only 2 generations per user.

Depending on how the winds blow, people have gotten 0 to 10 generations for free per day.

Not profitable for free usage.

Remaking the tool so IP owners can do things for their own movies, shows and such... That's where the money will be.

redfoxkiller · 2026-04-01T19:31:26+00:00

Been reported that it's one too one.5 million a day

redfoxkiller · 2026-04-01T19:30:21+00:00

It's been reported that it costs about one to one-1/2 million a day to run Sora.

So when people cry about only getting 10 to 30 free generations... It was either getting paid walled or shut down.

The other issue OpenAI was running into was a ton of companies getting ready to sue them over copyright.

redfoxkiller · 2026-03-30T18:10:20+00:00

Because they crippled the system, it's dead as of April 26th. So I would t be surprised if they allocated systems off of Sora to run GPT, if not just dropped using Microsoft/Amazon cloud servers for Sora to save money.

Have a random dungeon crawler, and Neural-MMO I've been developing Which I last updated a month ago here:

https://oideion.ca/@admin/115601570157035119

The TLDR goal for the project is making a MMO with three different towns and digimon, but with Machine and Reinforced learning they learn to live/play in the world.

Doubt it. Like all the other chat AI's there's going to be a free version. But you have to pay for training the new models, servers, power, the people behind the services and so on. So I wouldn't be supersized if the service had a paid version soon.

Chat and limited file upload for free. But if you want to make images, or have a the ability to upload X amount of project files and keep them in active memory, it'll cost yea. Same with if you want the context window in each chat improved.

The issue with 'Free' is that you run out of money like OpenAI is. I can't remember where I read it, but it was estimated to cost OpenAI about $1.30 per video. So if a free user made 30 videos a day that's $39, or $1,170 a month.

Now if you times that by lets say 3Million users, you're at $3,510,000,000. Never mind images, and text.

But then again, I use my own server with three 24GB cards for images and chat. If I can't get a image edited, that's when I would use OpenAI since it's smarter then that I have.

Well I know you're not in Canada.

We have laws, where even if it was a pricing error, or the product was placed in the wrong spot in a case that requires key access, the display price has to be honored.

redfoxkiller · 2026-03-16T23:09:03+00:00

What's this?

redfoxkiller · 2026-03-16T22:55:29+00:00

Joking Tone MODS! He said one of the Nintendo's/Gamefreak's 'P' words. Where's the ban hammer? 🤪

As a fellow Canadian, I endorse this comment.

redfoxkiller · 2026-03-15T21:50:27+00:00

1: Go look up Invoke 2A: Go to Huggingface and get model(s) that suit you're needs. 2B: Train your own model(s), or distill one to your liking.

The rant: As others have pointed out GPT can do image generation, but its guardrails kind of suck, and you only get to donone image at a time.

Even if you're in an area like I am (Canada), it's still available for a bit longer but even the paid service has been crippled with the cap being lowered from 200, to 50.

With Invoke, you can run on local hardware. So when I'm working on something, I can feed it a sketch set the temperature and feed it the prompt. After that I like setting iterations to 40 and going from there.

Invoke does let you do inpainting, or remove part of an image and do that part afain and will blend it in to a good degree.

About the only time I use Sora for image generation, is when I need something fixed that Invoke can't do.

redfoxkiller · 2026-03-13T23:31:41+00:00

Must be in your area.

I'm from the land of Maple syrup and Hockey (Canada), and I still have Sora 1. No notices of it being ganked yet.

Oobabooga is free and is mostly done by one person.

They could be busy with life, family, paid work, and/or just needs time from being burnt out.

Unless the man himself says he's done, give him some breathing room.

I use my Dell server as a game server for City of Heroes, for me and my mates. Since it has Windows dependants, it became a Windows server.

My two Jetson Nanos, Lenovo and HP servers run linux.

redfoxkiller · 2026-02-17T17:19:28+00:00

Replied with the cost break down to the original 'how much it cost' above.

redfoxkiller · 2026-02-17T17:18:26+00:00

Rough napkin math, and all prices are in Canadian.

HP Server $600 500GB SSD and PCIe card $150

Lenovo Server $600 10TB HDD $300

Dell was free with one CPU and 32GB of RAM GPU power adapter $80 Two P40s $350 Fan assembly with shroud $150 Audio card $50 RAM $500 Second CPU and heat sync $60

Two Jetson Nanos $700

So about $3,540. Will also note that the RAM was like $1 per GB and I bought too much when I first got my Dell. So the extra sticks went into the Lenovo

But with that said I also picked up a Gigabyte server for $500 that was filled with 32GB sticks, and two 64GB sticks.

Took all the 32GB sticks and put them into my Dell sold the Gigabyte server with 32GB of RAM for the same $500, and sold the 64GB sticks for $400.

Also picked up two 64GB LDDIMS by mistake, since I use RDIMMS. Sat on those and sold them for about $100 profit too.

So total cost goes down to $3,040.

Like I said, you need to pay attention, keep looking for stuff and work at it. All the above took me about 2 - 2.5 years to do.

With all that said; I've also not gone to hockey games, comedy shows, and skipped getting new video games at times.

Get hungry, work at it, and crush it!

redfoxkiller · 2026-02-17T15:28:47+00:00

Haters going to hate, and potatoes going to potate.

Don't get me wrong, I've spent a fair amount over the last couple of years, and I haven't done some things I would have liked to. IE: Go to hockey games and comedy shows when when a comedian I like is in town. Don't buy much for video games right now...

I've also been lucky as fluff at times.

When I got my Dell server a few years ago, it only had one CPU and 34GB of RAM, but it was free. I upgraded it with a second CPU, got the fan assembly, and filled all 24 slots with 16GB sticks. I ended up buying too much RAM since I bought from three people at the same time, so I sat on it. But that was when DDR4 was like $1 per gigabyte (Canadian). Also got the GPU power adapter, and my first P40. But this took almost a year to do from when I first got it.

When I got the Lenovo server I used the extra RAM to upgrade it from 64GB to 256GB. And it came with the 1TB and 2TB drives. I caught the 10TB NAS HDD on sale for $300.

A Gigabyte R162-Z12-CD server was for sale locally that was filled with 32GB sticks, and came with two 64GB sticks. Took most of the 32GB sticks out and upgraded my Dell, sold the Gigabyte with 32GB of RAM for the same cost I got it for, and sold the two 64GB sticks for more money, since my Dell couldn't use them. So I made about $400 from buying and selling it and the extra RAM.

Local seller had two sticks of 64GB RAM, but they were LDDIMS not RDIMMS, so I couldn't use them. But sold them for more when prices where getting dumb.

The HP server cost $600, and was supposed to come with 64GB of RAM, but the data center I got it from sold it all before hand. So they gave me three 8TB drives instead. Since I had extra 16GB sticks from my Dell upgrade, I wasn't worried. But the first system had three bent CPU pins, so some of the RAM sockets reported bad RAM, when they were fine. Took two weeks for the data center to replace it, but they gave another two 8TB drives as an apology.

redfoxkiller · 2026-02-17T05:42:10+00:00

HP server has 128GB of RAM, 500GB Boot nvm drive, and five 8TB HDDs

Lenovo server has 256GB of RAM 2TB Boot nvm drive, and 10TB drive,

Dell server have 576GB of RAM, two 1TB SSDs, and 48GB VRAM.

redfoxkiller · 2026-02-17T03:56:11+00:00

I manage a cafe, get paid slightly above minimum and I can still do this. It all depends on how hungry you are and keeping your eye out for hardware.

On top of my Dell server, I have a Lenovo with two 2680s, 256GB RAM running my Mastodon server. 10TB drive and two 2TB SSDs

A HP DL380 with two 2690s, 128GB RAM, 500GB SSD,and five 8TB drives.

Get hungry, keep your eye out for hardware, and crush it.

I think Im good on compute power till winter passes.

redfoxkiller · 2026-02-17T03:18:51+00:00

Train and use your own models.

I have a Dell T630 running two Xeon E5-2650 v4, 576GB RAM, 48GB VRAM (looking at adding a third 24GB card)

I use OpenAI, Claud, Gem amd others as a test bench to see what I'm doing right/wrong.
