Not sure if we are joking about ourselves but when I was a kid, I was so confused by how games were made.
I started drawing individual frames of the game I wanted, I remember about 45 minutes into this venture I had an existential crisis about how how many frames you'd need for something like GTA, to show every possible combination.
I had the right idea but wasn't thinking about how to leverage the computer correctly.
- mandmandam 2y agoHaha I had the exact same experience with Prince of Persia. The existential crisis took nearly a decade to wear off. The realization that every possible image that can fit on a screen can be stuck in a bitmap helped keep it going. Everything that could possible ever be photographed, just sitting there in the latent space waiting to be summoned. ... And now, I'm amazed that through some basically fancy noise we can type in words and get pictures in under a second. They even almost have the right number of fingers.
