Okay so before I make the client I need to create a way to wrap updates for sending over the network.

omfg I can't believe this shit is working... and its scaling just fine.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! 2000 ZONES LOADED! 6 GB OF RAM USED 6% CPU 50 UNIQUE ACTORS, + 1 MILLION RANDOM GAME OBJECTS!!!! #gamedev #indiedev #taerinswhisper

oh my god I have an idea.... instead of just directly loading every fucking tile at launch we'll do it on demand and stream them.

Test 4 successful. Able to fill every tile with an actor and still below a gig of ram. Okay. So I gotta figure out a way to scale the world up in an o(n) instead of o^n way hrm.

Stress Test 3 succeeded.... able to spawn 5x5 zones (each zone is made up of 128x128 tiles) with 50 unique actors randomly moving tiles. Now we can start building the client and get some visuals going.

Stress Test 2 failed. Couldn't spawn a 50x50 world. It was eating about 24 GB of RAM before I nuked it.

Stress test 1 completed... barely touching CPU or RAM

Alright reviewing all the code so far today. I took PTO lol. Already caught a few bugs where’d necessarily be duplicating or tripling things unnecessarily.

looking good so far!

Yeah so any game studio that laid people off because they thought AI was gonna replace those artists was a fucking moron. Just realized how much work you’d have to do to get the output you want and then be able to iterate it for consistency.

Fuck I wish I had a huge whiteboard to work with. My friend bought me a smaller one but like trying to map out data relationships and running out of room.

I have heard this song many, many times but never seen the video until now... its very sad :( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk_s...

Anyone got a good soundtrack like Alien Covenant or Life, they can recommend? Need something new to listen to lol. Trying to whiteboard this next area of development of the first player object

Hear me on this I will bring you the end of your world It's a bedtime story they don't tell the rich You are all on my watchlist and karma — Well, karma's a bitch

So I watched the ending to Life. Now I want to see the movie. Fuck you YouTube algorithm.

Okay take a break and watch some primal before I code on the game tonight. I think I can implement actors and players.

Allumeria is taking part in Next Fest Feb 2026! To celebrate, I have released a new update with an overhauled terrain generator. There's some really cool stuff out there to be found. Come check it out! #gamedev #indiedev #nextfest #steamnextfest #demo store.steampowered.com/news/app/351...

Loreena McKennitt has a beautiful voice. That is all.

4600 lines of code in the server so far lol... so closed to working on player objects. #gamedev #taerinswhisper

okay tile infrastructure is complete... now to write the actor -> agent / player infrastructure. Then we can actually do some testing Starting with a world of 2x2 zones, each zone is made up of a 128x128 grid of 1x1 godot unit tiles. Tiles are only loaded when an IUniqueActor approaches them

We’re a small family. We were at $90/week (excluding the monthly Costco run). Now it’s $130. I cook from mostly scratch almost every night. You can’t really buy food cheaper than how we do.

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

UH OH! NEW LOWER DECKER!

Okay now that I have a pipeline figured out for how to avoid ticking millions of objects every 20 ms, now I gotta think about actual world sizes.

GameDirector — The brain. Owns everything. Orchestrates all assistants, schedules ticks, tracks VisionRings, manages zone sleep/wake transitions, owns in-transit agent registry.

I wonder what's worse on the environment... War or AI.

Working on the zone and tile system that represents the servers understanding of the game world. A zone is an area made up of 512x512 tiles. Each tile is 1x1 godot unit. Should make path finding possible.

Based on what you nerds are posting about it sounds like a Star Trek sandbox game might be a good idea.

recently watched an episode of Star Trek TNG with the Duras sisters, so I'm reposting this thing I drew in 2022

Server's networking infrastructure is done. Now I am building the game infrastructure (primitive game objects and components and stuff for zones and tick management)

Yay it’s snowing

Awww that’s awesome. Heather died to a brain tumor and I have a particularly hatred of them.

med.stanford.edu/news/all-new... This is amazing news. Hopefully it translates from the mice to humans. This could save so many lives every year.

Let me give you a little inside information. He gives man instincts. He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch but don't taste. Taste but don't swallow. He's laughing his sick fucking ass off.

Is there a technology the left is excited about?

hrm what's gonna happen with all the e-waste with these massive data centers these tech company's are building? Those GPUs won't be relevant in a decade...

The glory of creation is in it's infinite diversity. And the way our differences combine to create meaning and beauty.
