I guess that is why AI runs like ass?

I would go so far as to say if you get rid of the graphics completely and have text descriptions (think Dwarf Fortress which has many things that are not represented in its graphics at all, just in the textual descriptions) you fully free the imagination of the player.
Some things are just not representable graphically at all, my go to example is “the most beautiful woman he had ever seen”, easy to write in text, impossible to portray on screen in a way that every viewer will feel the same.
Mostly it really is just a fancier auto-complete. It is most useful for situations where you want to essentially do the equivalent of copy&paste and then make changes in a few predictable places in each copy.
It is total crap at writing code itself to the point where you need to read the code and understand it to know it hasn’t screwed up, something that takes much, much longer than just writing it yourself.
It entirely depends on the genre. I probably would want a bit more detail on the faces than that if it was an emotional story line, say the kind of quality that To The Moon had.
Maybe make it aggregate the data over all commits and then use that as a learning opportunity to learn about tools like cargo-bench, criterion, cargo-flamegraph and other profiling and benchmarking tools and optimization techniques to see if you can speed it up, reduce its memory usage,…?
You’ve saturated the art budget, it’s time to pay writers more.
I wish writing got more focus in general. There is a lot of theory to good writing that is often just completely ignored while the latest theoretical papers are taken into account for photorealistic rendering and such things that are much less important.
Isn’t it enough that shitty games have to bear that triple A warning label these days?
Technically wrong. Any rational number though.
Maybe keep maintaining the HashMap you have now and use one of these less portable mechanisms in a test to alert you when you forgot to register one?
Or problems only exist for people who spend dozens of hours each week on a game and make it their entire identity, something a working dev just can’t do.
Visual programming has been tried and tried again and failed every single time. Mostly that is because graphics are just not very good at abstraction and programming is all about abstraction.
AI being used for anything will have to wait until it actually works reliably.
There is nothing wrong with charging something in the order of the production cost of the item divided by the expected sales number for it.
I would consider even that obscenely expensive.
ECS has really nothing to do with this. ECS is just a specific way to store the internal state of a program, fundamentally no different from other data structures.
Also, a good game is far more than just text and images and current “AI” can’t even generate those individually. A game needs significant thought put into things like game loops, story arcs, balancing,… that are non-obvious when existing games would just be training data. Not to mention that using an existing game as training data is both non-trivial and also we just don’t have the vast amounts of them that current systems seem to need to produce anything even half-way decent.
And don’t forget a subcommittee to review the recommendation to revise the color of the book those guidelines will go in.
On the other hand if you had a nickel for every time someone asks why some game is unpopular…
There is a good chance if it is a badly managed project by the time it launches everyone working on it already resents the project anyway and will be glad that it is over.
Britain’s first female MP
I believe you meant PM. The first female MP was Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor in 1919.
comapred to a genociding terrorist?
Unfortunately Britain has been involved in genocidal actions several times each century for a large part of its history, including some during Thatcher’s time, such as support for Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, the massacre of Sikhs in India in Operation Blue Star, lifting arms bans and selling weapons to Pinochet and training his soldiers, supporting Suharto in Indonesia and Zia in Pakistan as well as a certain group led by Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan. Thatcher was many things, but thinking her being the first female PM was one of her most important roles in history is certainly ignoring a whole lot of her actual actions.
remember that the Nazis were so many orders of magnitude worse than any other group of people in human history, ever.
If you truly believe that I have bad news for you. There were quite a few other horrific groups of people doing horrible things to innocent groups of people in human history.
Don’t be silly, that wouldn’t work since the screen and the pixel have different aspect ratios.
