Why not the streaming model? Seems like it'd work nicely with subscription. Always thought the appeal of Stadia could have been I could try a large variety of games on any platform and not have to deal with installing them (especially

it's weird seeing IoT as if that was all hype then died off - I literally have 30 or so devices in my home that are Wifi connected (lights, smart speakers...). Like a lot of other hyped technologies it was in the news initially, didn&#

It would definitely remove complexity from the browser. By that logic should browsers just contain all the common Javascript frameworks? No because that would slow down their rate of change, and sites couldn't control their exact versi

You have definitely missed the entire point. Of course there are some advantages of just putting it all in the browser for rendering current standard web sites. The point is to rethink the browser so it isn't just a single tech company

Why couldn't it cache?

Reinventing the browser should be simplifying it to only what it needs to be: executing + rendering remote code in a sandboxed window. Make a new browser that is just WebGPU + WebAssembly, no more DOM. Would already run the next wave of gam

Wow this is awesome, love this style. I did something really similar with our game's scripting language called MBScript: https://docs.modboxgame.com/docs/mbscript Same kind of line setup, visual add button, etc. W

Still are a lot of indie games that are marketed based on the famous developer. Great talk on that from the GettingOverIt/QWOP dev, 'Put Your Name On Your Game' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4UFC0y1tY0

Stereokit is fantastic. Ive been looking for a .net game engine to try - and love the runtime asset importing. Are examples of its use for a traditional desktop use? Like screen space UI. And maybe mobile touch input? Or are both of those o

You comparison to 'cancel culture' was still ridiculous. Even calling it virtue signaling is wrong - it's not signalling when this company is giving up money for their beliefs. This isn't making a moral judgment on a gro

This is a nation that just invaded a democratic country, and you call actions against them 'cancel culture'? This isn't some celebrity on Twitter losing their job - it's a private company that no longer wants to give tax

As a game dev it surprises me the constant push from some Linux players to still make a native Linux version, considering how good Valve's Proton layer is. I don't think they understand that while making a new Linux build can be t

I am looking at GPTJ, and also hoping OpenAI comes to their senses on how dangerous a video game chatbot can be

by Vermeulen 5y ago
It's laggy since it needs to do speech to text, gpt3 text response, then text to speech. Not sure what adds the most latency actually. They only allow gpt3 chatbots if the chatbot is designed to speak only about a specific subject, and

A warning to devs building on OpenAI APIs: We spent months developing a chatbot using GPT3 for our game and released a video showcasing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuSQvoroJo&t=264s Afterwards OpenAI then added

Take this idea, and apply it to Google Earth. Have it procedurally generate the rest of the data as I zoom in. Its incredible I can check out my small home town on Google Earth now entirely in 3d (which wasnt the case just a few months ago)

The way to do it is to set the prompt to things based on the game world - so instead of 'City Hall' actually have that as a quest location to have the AI tell the player about. Could even dynamically change the Prompt based on the

I don't understand the fear of Google from FitBit users in these comments. Google has a clear user agreement with how they use your data, including not selling it - and they rely on users trusting them. I'd rather my data be with
